What I missed on my diet

I missed eating hamburgers, which pretty much I ate all the time considering I didn't cook much. Now, I am making time to do this. I will have an occasional turkey burger, or sometimes even red meat (maybe once a month or so), but I make it myself and use healthy foods to accompany it, like tomatoes, lettuce, fresh potato salad (not fries) and onions.
