I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Smashed Sweet Potato Pizza

Who knew a baked sweet potato could turn into a pizza? This little gem is a tasty gluten-free option to pizza crust. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good pizza but if you're looking for a quick and healthy alternative this is it!

Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato 
3-4 tsps BBQ sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella 
1/4-1/2 cup cooked chopped chicken 
Some thinly sliced red bell pepper
Olive oil, regular or spicy 
First, scrub the sweet potato clean and pierce a few time with a fork. Microwave on high 4 minutes until tender. 
Split it down the middle but don't cut right through. Splay it opened on a parchment lined baking sheet peel side down. Cover with another piece of parchment and press down with a heavy skillet or use a rolling pin to press the potato to about 1/4" thick. Peel off top layer of parchment.
Spread with your favourite BBQ sauce then add mozzarella, chicken, red pepper and a drizzle of oil.
Pop into a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes then broil a couple of minutes to bubble up the cheese. 
Serves 2 for a light lunch
