For me, bruschetta used to be a food of the past! Bruschetta made with gluten free bread just didn’t cut it. That is, until my friend Sarah made SWEET POTATO bruschetta for us at a Nutritionist Potluck! MIND.BLOWN.

Needless to say, it was delicious and I decided to do a festive take on it, especially since I found orange and yellow tomatoes in the grocery store this week! I think it was meant to be.
