Paleo Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes

While we are not eating an entire whole food, paleo, or keto diet in our home, I AM trying to serve less carbs, more whole foods.

We’re working towards make a more gentle switchover, to make it more sustainable long term and hopefully curb some of the cravings.

These Paleo Sweet Potato Tuna Cakes are a delicious and easy meal to prepare, that is kid approved in our home!

It’s colorful, full of flavor, and nutrients!
