Sweet Potato/Quinoa Patties!

We are always looking for creative ways to cut back on meat and poultry in our menu.

These patties are extremely satifying, but are great for people looking for diabetic and heart-healthy options.

If you prefer a non-vegan option you can add egg or tuna..

They were really delicious! The texture was a little bit mushie.

In the meantime, these are delish!
