Sweet Potato + Quinoa Burgers

I did a quick internet search for this recipe, and found, oh, so many recipes. I finally just had to pick one out of the bunch. The one I picked claimed to have the secret recipe to "non-mushy" burgers. Who wants mushy burgers?? Not I!  Whoa. Close call. Here is my take on the recipe:

What You Will Need:
cooked sweet potatoes
cooked quinoa, cooled.
1 TB ketchup
1 TB curry powder
oats (not the instant kind)

Okay, so I played with the amounts. I only had one sweet potato in my house. So I only used one. I only cooked 1 cup of quinoa, but only used about 1/2 cup of it. I just played with the quinoa/swt pot mixture until I thought it was even. Then add onions, and seasonings/ketchup Blend them in a food processor or mash together well. Then I slowly add the oats in until the mix wasn't so sticky. I didn't measure it out.  Make into patties. Here's another secret to non-mushy burgers:put patties in the freezer for 20 min or so before you bake them. This helps with the stickiness factor. I then baked the patties in my toaster oven. You could cook on skillet as well. (I only had 3.5 patties)

 This was a super easy recipe and turned out delicious!!!

Sweet Potato Pancakes

A healthier version of a breakfast favorite. Makes a great "breakfast for dinner" meal as well.

You will need:
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (2 medium size)
1.5 cups of flour
4 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1/4 c. butter, melted
1.5 c milk
2 eggs, beaten
2-4 t. cinnamon(depending on taste)
2 Tb of flax seed or wheat germ (optional, but adds fluffiness)

 To Prepare:
Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and cook in microwave 7 min or until tender. Cut open skins and let cool.  When cool, remove potato from skin and mash with fork. Add melted butter to potato and stir. Add milk and eggs to the potato mash, stir well. Meanwhile, stir together all dry ingredients:flour, baking powder and salt. (I like to do this while potatoes are cooling.) Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and stir til well blended. Add cinnamon There you have your batter! Cook on preheated skillet, like you would with regular pancakes.Manja!
