    Then I guess coleslaw would be out of the question....
    1/2 head red cabbage
    1/2 head of green cabbage or savoy
    shredded carrots
    salt & pepper
    2tbs Red wine vinegar
    1tbs EVOO
    Juice of one lime

    Hi Sun,
    that looks like a tasty recipe for the cheddar ranch turkey burgers. The nutrition info you supplied, does that include the bun, lettuce, and tomato or is that for 1 turkey burger patty alone?

    You won't like my recommendations, but I'm thinking green beans, grilled zucchini and summer squash with onions, grilled mushrooms and onions and green peppers on kabobs, a big salad, slices upon slices of tomatoes, etc. etc.

    Sometimes we think we don't like veggies because we haven't found the right ones. Try a farm stand (or WalMart produce aisle at about 6:30 a.m. on a Saturday) and you'll get better flavor and fresher foods. You might just like one :)

    But I am keeping this recipe for the burgers!! :happy:

    Instead of veggies as a side, why not try fruit? I often mix watermelon, canteloupe for a fruit salad...plus it gives me the sweet so I don't need dessert.

    Or a side salad?

    New dessert/snack idea I just heard of:

    Jello & yogurt.
    Sugar Free Jello - flavor of your choice
    fat-free or low-fat yugurt - flavor of your choice.
    The whole serving is supposed to be only 1 Weight Watchers point (hearsay, I haven't calculated it myself yet)
    Directions:
    Prepare Jello as usual (mix and 1 cup boiling water)
    Then instead of the cold water, add the yogurt.
    Let it set.

    It's yummy!! I have tasted the strawberry jello with plain yogurt and it was delish!
    My friend recommended Lime jello with Key Lime yogurt, but I imagine the possibilities are endless.
    We thought of putting them into small, single serve containers, so they would be easy to grab on the go!!

    Thanks for all the suggestions.. I have heard that if I try a really fresh veggie than I might like it. I think I am going out of my box by even including the green onions in the burgers. lol I wish I liked veggies than I would have more options of things to eat. Its the texture I dont like.. the crunching of them.

    Ive had sweet potatoe fries one time and I wasnt a big fan.. maybe its something I need to try again and have a good recipe for them. ANy ideas?

    Try sprinkling some brown sugar, cinnamon, maybe a dash of chili powder...
