Sweet Potato Sliders – My Friday Night Special

08/05/2019 By Caralee Leave a Comment

This year, to make life easier for me and the family, we have created a set menu for the week. I know that sounds a bit boring, and to be honest I resisted it because of the structure. But I am telling you, it have made such a huge difference to being on point with staying true and healthy rather than wondering what is for dinner and grabbing takeaway’s. Lets face it, even ‘healthy’ take aways are not that healthy!

Friday nights is BURGER night! We created burger night because it feels relaxed for a Friday night. It is so awesome because we know what is happening and the kids love it! They get to create their own burgers and will (with encouragement) try different veggies such as avocado, carrot, tomato, lettuce and pineapple (not a veggie but an essential burger ingredient if you ask me.

For me, I will either have the burger in between large fresh lettuce leaves, or like this with sweet potato as the ‘buns’. To be honest, it is way more delish like this. I love this type of meal because it is so simple but tastes, as well as looks, amazing. This is a fabulous idea for a weekend lunch, and it is the perfect crowd pleaser.
