Now that summer is over and I have my life back, lol, I will be cooking at home. Buster and I are changing the way we eat in order to get healthy and lose some weight. We are doing the “Let’s Do Lunch” program. Look it up, it’s great.
So, we are eating fresh and frozen fruit, fresh and frozen veggies, corn, beans, popcorn, lean meat, eggs, very little cheese, very little milk (1/2%), and i think that’s about it. So, i need to come up with new and exciting ways to make these items so we love them and will continue to eat them. My husband came up with an awesome way to make turkey burgers and I am going to share that with you!!!
