Grilled Hamburger on Romaine Leaves with Oven Roasted Sweet Potatoes
We threw mustard, onion and tomato on some leaves instead of buns. Yummy!

Sweet Potatoes were cooked on 400 or 425 for 20-25. Slice them really thin and coat them with cinnamon, olive oil and salt. We make these all the time!

The Whole 30 I gave up on...for now. Eating "Paleo" for meals has definitely made us make healthier choices and feel better, but I obviously can not make the split yet from my sugar addiction. Baby steps, right?! The good news is at least I am in the awareness part of my emotional bonds with food!
