Tuna Cakes: Introducing fish

I decided that it was time to introduce Haidyn to some fish. She’s had some selfish before so why not try some tuna. I don’t like to make our food any different from her because 1) she knows if she is eating something different and 2) it’s easier for me to make us all the same meal. With that being said, her first run with tuna was a success! So much so that she had thirds. Mixing the tuna into something that she already loved was important to me for introducing her to it, so I decided to make these tuna cakes. They were simple to make and great tasting too. For dinner that night, we paired these cakes with Greek yogurt Alfredo spaghetti squash and Waymon had them for lunch the next day in sandwich form. 

INGREDIENTS: 

•  2 cans canned light tuna (drained)
• 1 medium sweet potato, diced

• 4 spring onions (green onions or scallions), chopped

3. Form the fish into patties ( about 2 in in diameter) 
   
   
   
4. Heat your pan to medium high heat and spray with cooking oil, cooking the cakes until golden and firm.
