Prepared pizza dough (or make your own)

Pizza sauce or Pesto

Mini peperoni

Mozzarella cheese

Green, red and yellow pepper

Any other topping you want!  Banana peppers, black olives etc

Prepare pizza crust according to package directions.

On lightly floured work surface, roll out dough into large rectangle, about 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick.

Using large Christmas tree cookie cutter, cut out 12 Christmas trees, re-rolling dough as needed. Transfer tree pizzas to 2 large parchment paper–lined baking sheets, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.

Spread sauce over each pizza; sprinkle with cheese. Garnish with pepperoni, colored peppers and any other topping…be creative 🙂

Bake according to package directions, about 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Working with one tortilla at a time, spread approximately 1 tablespoon of sauce on tortilla slightly offset from the center. Then top with mozzarella, pepperoni, and a pinch of both oregano and crushed red pepper.

From the edge closest to your filling, roll the tortilla as tightly as you can and place it on prepared sheet pan, seam side down. Repeat process with remaining tortillas.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Roughly crush pretzels, and combine with 1/2 cup sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 7 minutes, cool. Break into pieces, and set aside in an air tight container until ready to use.

Before serving, stir 3/4 pretzel mixture in, top with remaining to serve.

6 tablespoons butter, cubed

1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets

1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Dash cayenne pepper

1-1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

1. Preheat broiler. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add ham and garlic; saute for 4-5 minutes. Add cauliflower, and cook just until crisp-tender. Combine cream and flour; stir into skillet, and blend well. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook and stir 1 minute longer.
2. Pour into a 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil until lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.

2 large sweet potatoes

2 tsp olive oil

1 c grape tomatoes, halved

4 Tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken

1 cup pesto

Preheat oven to 425*.  Line a baking sheet with foil.  Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork and place them on the baking sheet.

Bake 45-50 min or until soft and tender.

While potatoes bake, heat oil in a skillet over high heat.  Add tomatoes and cook 1 to 2 minutes until browned.

Slice each cooked sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.  Mash 1 Tbsp of butte into each sweet potato half and sprinkle each with ¼ tsp salt.  Divide chicken, pesto and tomato equally among sweet potato halves.

Serve warm.

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 pound (500 g) boneless and skinless chicken thighs diced into 1-inch pieces

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/3 cup barbecue sauce

Salt to season

10 stand and stuff taco shells

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/3 of green bell pepper | capsicum deseeded and sliced thinly

1/4 of a red onion sliced thinly

1/4 cup sliced mushrooms

2 tablespoons sliced olives

Italian seasoning

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking oil spray; set aside.

Heat the oil in a skillet or pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken and sear until golden and crisp. Add the garlic; fry until fragrant (about 1 minute); then add the barbecue sauce and salt to season (about 1/2 teaspoon salt). Cook until chicken is coated and glossy, and the sauce slightly thickens. Turn off heat.

Arrange taco shells in the baking dish. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into each taco shell to keep them from going soggy. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each shell on top of the cheese until all the chicken is used. Top with the green pepper slices, onion slices, mushrooms and olives. Top shells with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with the seasoning.

Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted through. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or condiments of choice.
