Sweet Potato Garden Burgers
A perfect balanced meal sure to please everyone

As you may of figured out by now I am new to this wonderful world of social networking. 100% Vegan Healthy Happy Life tweeted about this sweet potato burger and they looked divine. Unfortunately they contained a lot of wheat which, of course we cannot have and I was missing some of the other ingredients. I am also terrible at following recipes something about having to read while entertaining, cooking and not burning the house down! I made the salsa out of our own tomatoes and shallots fresh from the garden. The kids got a kick out of picking the vegetables and eating them with supper!

I made them without the bun because it was way too hot to bake bread today. We had them with avocado salsa and rhubarb relish. Everyone loved them! Which was awesome, even my oldest daughter ate about 6! She is not a big eater at 27 pounds so I was thrilled.
