Tebow Family Pizza Pie

I came across this recipe from Pam Tebow and I had to try it because it was so different. I served it when we had some friends over to watch a weeknight Steelers game and it was a hit. My husband even asked me if next time could I make it just for us because he didn't want to share!

Artichoke Smashed Potatoes

I came across this recipe a few years ago in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in an article about the Sewickley Cafe (one of my favorite restaurants in my hometown). I'm glad I printed it then since I can't seem to find the article now. These potatoes are quick and easy and they go great with a grilled steak (chicken for me) and green beans.
