The winter clothes have been packed away and the summer holiday has been booked which can only mean one thing.. it time for me get beach ready.
So, I have decided to embark on a little health kick by making some very small and simple changes, without losing any of the great flavours and still being satisfied with end result.
Dave was a little skeptical of my new crusade, however I think even he would agree that my homemade turkey burgers are a winner!
