Last night was so much fun catching up with my best friend, Nicole. We’ve known each other and been best friends for over 25 years. Last night reminded me of really good times when we were growing up together – we spent countless weekends in our teenage years sleeping over and watching cheezy shows like Baywatch while eating Papa Johns Pizza.
OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED 
We didn’t watch any TV and definitely didn’t have any Papa Johns. LOL.
Nicole came over right after work and we started the night off with lots of green juice shots before I got busy in the kitchen. 
We caught up on everything while cooking. This gooey sweet potato goat cheese quesadilla turned out fantastic! Nicole loved it so much she exclaimed “Tom (her husband) would love this!” – That made me smile ear to ear.
Let me know if you try this recipe – it’s a crowd pleaser and would be awesome for a party too!
- 8 small Ezekiel sprouted wheat tortillas
- 1 large baked sweet potato
- 4 ounces goat cheese grated or crumbled
- 2 cups of fresh arugula
- 1 thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
- ½ tsp coconut oil
- fresh cracked black pepper
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet on medium heat and cooked red onion until tender and brown
- Mash the baked sweet potato with spices and fresh cracked pepper
- Lightly spray a large rack with oil and place down 4 tortillas on rack
- Spread ¼ cup of sweet potato mixture on each tortilla/li>
- Continue adding red onions, arugula and 1 ounce of goat cheese on each tortilla
- Top each filled tortilla with another tortilla and spray lightly with oil
- Cook for 10-12 mins – watch carefully to make sure it doesn’t burn
- Remove from oven once top is slightly browned and cool for a couple of mins
- Use a pizza cutter to cut quesadilla into slices
Ciao,

I’m making these tonight!
I made these twice, they’re absolutely divine! Goat cheese is seriously heaven-in-my-mouth. What an incredible idea! Just to add- My boyfriend despises sweet potato and he adored these quesadillas!
Hi there, I read your blogs on a regular basis. Your humoristic style is witty, keep it up!
These look divine … where exactly would one find pumpkin pie spice?
You can find it in any grocery store with the spices – enjoy!
