Dinner
◦
This picture, my friends, is what happens pretty much every time before I cook. Kevin has a sixth sense to know that I’m about to go into a cooking frenzy and starts up on the dishes. (I’m kind of a tornado in the kitchen, and this guy puts up with it!) At least the cat keeps him company…
There’s a bit of a craze right now for using veggies to create a delicious, gluten free (or minimal gluten) crust. I decided to use sweet potatoes as the base for my crust. Super easy and sooo delicious!
By the way, here’s a quick side note on sweet potatoes vs. yams according to TheKitchn.
Sweet potatoes = Firm sweet potato with golden skin and lighter flesh.
Yams = Soft sweet potato with a copper skin and deep orange flesh.
Now we know!
Sssshhhh, I bought yams. Don’t tell anyone.
If this pizza could talk, it would be saying “Oh don’t worry, you can eat all 8 pieces on your own because I’m practically 80% vegetables.” Uhm ok.
I believe you pizza. Get in my belly.
I love buying Kale from Trader Joe’s because I save so many minutes having to strip the leaves off the rib. It’s all ready to go and keeps in the fridge for forever!
Look at that crust and that color!! I’m in love.
Bon appetit!
