I've made the mediterranean burgers in the book with turkey instead of lamb and they were delicious!

I've made the mediterranean burgers in the book with turkey instead of lamb and they were delicious!

There are some lovely sounding dishes in there...i need to stop being lazy and actually try some out! I find it hard though, because the rest of my family are fairly fussy and prefer the stuff i'd class as "unhealthy" (processed food mainly). I already have to cook two separate meals alot...so it's easier for me to just pop a weightwatchers (lean cuisine) meal in the microwave and bulk it out with veg.

You've really tempted me with Mediterranean turkey burger though - they sound YUMMY!!!

My favorite fruit is strawberry ... and it's a no food... I wonder why?
How about bananas?

I love strawberries too, they're one of the very few fruit i actually DO like! I looked it up in the meal quide and this is what it says:

"The above foods (strawberries included) may have Goitrogenic affects. Goitrogens are substances that supress the function of the thyroid gland by interfering with iodine uptake, which can, as a result, cause an enlargement of the thyroid" :huh:

I might delve deeper into that when i have time and post my findings, i'm not that well informed about bodily functions such as that.

*Nutritional value of Bananas -

Good points: Bananas are very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium. They are also a good source of Dietary Fibre, Vitamin C, Potassium and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin B6.

The bad: A large portion of the calories in bananas come from sugars.

Unfortunately bananas are another fruit i don't like...unless it's a flavoured protein shake or dried, in cereals :frown:
