Sweet Potato Waffle Buns!

There's still a month left of grilling and Summer fun! Being on a gluten free diet, one thing that I really miss is a hamburger bun during the summer. I promise you, you won't miss a bun with this delicious and simple recipe. You'll need a large sweet potato and a waffle iron for this recipe. It will take you about 30 minutes to prepare. My husband(who's a lover of anything with bread) told me he would give up hamburger buns if he could have this instead. That's how you know that you've done something brilliant.
