Make up a batch of these yummy Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Cheddar Patties, great served cold or straight out of the oven.
Have I mentioned how much I love finger type foods? foods that I can grab and go.
Being a parent (and a blogger) sometimes means I am rushed for time, and if I want to make sure I stay on plan, I need stuff like these Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Cheddar Patties made up all the time. As then if I have to go out before I get a change to eat lunch for instance, I can put some of these in a tub with a salad and I have a high satiety meal to keep me going till I get home.
As much as I love a salad, sometimes I need something more substantial and if I am out in the car, I don't have facilities to heat up food and I don't want to risk not having something available to buy. So things like these really help. Obviously there will be times when you are not prepared at all, but if you use any spare time to make up batches of little things like this or pasta, soups etc, you should 9/10 have things on hand in an emergency.
These Sweet Potato, Broccoli and Cheddar patties are also great for freezing. You can either freeze made up uncooked and then cook from frozen or fully cook and then freeze and just pop in the oven to heat up when you want. I must admit though, none of these have ever made it to the freeze as my kids love these too. Even my youngest (who is 5) now she no longer has an aversion to broccoli.
I love these with a side of arugula or on the side with one of my many Soup Recipes

Motivation is the key to any keep fit, weight loss or healthy eating programe anyone may undertake. Personally I decided to get out walking and opened http://www.lakedistrictwalks.net to help motivate me in my endevours to get fit after a few years doing nothing. Out for a days walk and then return home for some great food.
I am no Lake District Walks guide although I do offer anyone who wishes to get out and get fit the opportunity to come join me and there is no charge for this as its simply a walk out in the countryside if you would like. Maybe this could be the start of your new keep fit programe enjoying one of Englands National Parks and great scenery.

yes if the freeze the formed patties before cooking in the oven they will be fine to use at a later date.
Themcask says
I made these last night for taster group and they went down so well! So many people were asking the recipe! I had one straight out of the oven which was amazing, they were still so tasty cold but if the ladies at group got to try them warm then they would have been over the moon! Loved them!!

I've made a batch of th we to keep in the fridge for packed linches this week, I used strong cheddar for a more cheesey flavour and added some sweetcorn.
