Turkey Burger Salad!

This cartoon captures EXACTLY how I felt today! My day didn't start out well. I woke up to a storm, both of the snow form and weight! After yesterday's .6 gain, I was only down .2! I was a bit bummed by this, to say the least. Where, oh where has my pound-a-day-loss gone? After searching the couch cushions, my pockets, under my saggy boobs (after for kiddos, you'd be amazed at what gets lost under those rocks in socks!), and the fridge (2,3,4 times), I gave up! I threw a pity party of sorts today, and then my dad came over. He must of heard about the party, because he surprised me with not BYOB, instead it was BYOMD's! Yeppers! Mc Donalds! Luckily he didn't specifically bring me a burger, but it was still tough watching the kids eat them! It was a snow ball effect, and I began to crave EVERYTHING under the snow cloud covered sun.

My husband then texted me, asking if he could buy a beer. He is somewhat following the 17DD with me, but not nearly as strict. I told him I didn't mind, just don't bring me one! If you know me, the words beer and Diana go together like two year olds and temper tantrums! I was pretty proud that I- A) Turned one down. B) Didn't ask for a sip!

Because of this torture of a day, I decided I needed something "new". Something besides chicken or fish. Then I realized I could make turkey burgers! I was a little frightened at first, as they didn't look like real burgers, but what choice did I have? I ended up sprinkling on some steak seasoning, and broiling them. When they were done, I sprinkled on a little FF cheese. While they were cooking, I sliced up some tomatoes, and picked out lettuce pieces out of the mixed salad bag, and added it to a bowl. I cut the burger into bite size pieces, and threw that into the veggie mixture. Then I added a bit of reduced sugar ketchup, and mustard; mixing it together. It turned out being DELICIOUS! Tasted just like a juicy hamburger with all of the fixings! Totally my new favorite! Try it out! You won't be disappointed...
