Beef & Veggie Summer Sliders
If you ask me, everything tastes better grilled. Steaks, burgers, fish, veggies, fruit (yes, I said fruit)- it’s all delicious!As a mom to a picky eater, this recipe is one of my favorite ways to add extra veggies into my family’s diet. Although not all of my attempts to disguise veggies are successful, this one was! My family had no idea that their yummy sliders were loaded with nutrient dense veggies. And that, my friends, is what we call #winning.
