Sweet Potato Sliders with Homemade Guacamole

Sweet Potatoes with Guacamole – easy, healthy AND tasty, what more could you ask for!?

(This post was from 2015 originally) … I finally have a moment to sit down and do some blogging, yay! This past weekend was filled with happiness and a lot of celebrating. Last Friday, not only did I graduate from my dietetic internship with Fresno State…but on the same day got offered a job to work at Clovis Unified School District as their Nutritionist! I was one happy girl that day. Even though the title of the position is nutritionist, once I pass my exam I will still be an RDN working in a nutritionist position. There is a lot of room for growth with this district and I am so excited for this next chapter in my life! Now that all of the parties and sharing fun times with family and friends has come to an end, I spent some time in the kitchen creating these healthy and tasty sweet potato sliders with homemade guac. mmmm… 

Inspo for this recipe came from Terri Fry @donetoatee. I love sweet potato, and I love guac…it beats me as to why I have never thought of this myself! Since I am still blogging for the Bar Method Fresno I made these for this weeks theme “Healthy BBQ idea” & also because Memorial Day Weekend is approaching. I am really burnt out on macaroni salad and all of those high fat sides… If you are too, try making these for your guests and see what they think! 

PIN this recipe for later!
