It's that time of year again! September has arrived and it's time to head back to school. But don't let these busy days disrupt your healthy eating habits. Prepare your meals ahead of time. These patties are perfect to bring on the go! You could also make larger batches of these and freeze them. I topped mine with homemade tzatziki sauce which I shared with you as well! This recipe is also gluten-free ;)
