Great combination of flavors, the sweet flavor of the red bell pepper and the sweet potato complimented the goat cheese nicely. Easy main dish, I served it with a garden salad.

Almond-Peach Crumble

I think this is an excellent recipe, we bought a basket of fresh peaches and used half of them, the high fibre topping with these peaches look beautiful, and we don't worry about the calories and fat, it is a low-fat, low calorie recipe, we love it.
