Low Carb, Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Finally. It's here.

Guilt-free pizza.

That's right. No more avoiding pizza, or limiting yourself to that tiny sliver of a piece that's only a tease anyway -- just to leave you feeling as guilty afterwards as if you'd eaten a whole pie.

Say good-bye to those days.

You may be asking, "how is this even possible?"

Cauliflower. Yes, my friends, cauliflower. The pizza crust is made from a blend of cauliflower that's been thrown through a food processor, combined with eggs and seasoning -- and that's it. Mind blown yet?

Now, you might be a little hesitant. I get it. I was too -- that is until I ate a slice of that deliciousness and my life was changed forever. Yup. Changed. Forever.

Check it out!

Ingredients:
CRUST

2 cups cauliflower
2 eggs
1 tsp-1 tbsp olive oil
seasonings of choice (Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, etc.)
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

TOPPINGS
(Use any you like, of course, but here are some of my favorites)
pizza sauce
mozzarella cheese
green peppers
onions
mushrooms
kale or spinach
tomato slices

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

For crust, cut 1/2 a head of a small cauliflower into small pieces, then run through a food processor until it becomes the consistency of grits. To remove excess water, place cauliflower into a cheesecloth or a towel and ring out the water. Measure out two cups of cauliflower and add to a bowl. Add eggs, olive oil, seasonings and cheese. Mix with fork or hands until all ingredients are mixed well.

You'll have enough "dough" for one large pizza or two small individual pizzas. Form dough into a ball and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press the ball down until you form a circle. Continue pressing it out until you get your desired thinness of the crust.

Place in oven for 20 minutes.

Now, it's time to have fun. Add any and all toppings you like. Place back into the oven for about 10 minutes, long enough for the cheese to melt.

Enjoy!

French Bread Tomato Pizza

Let's face it. We all like pizza. I have not met a single person that doesn't like the baked bread, tomato sauce and melted cheese treat.

If you're going to have pizza, because I know you are -- at least make it yourself. Going the homemade route gives you the ability to control what's going in and on your belly.

Restaurant varieties tend to be really greasy and loaded with fat. The bread is heavy with oil and they use a lot of cheese. The fattening pepperoni, sausage and bacon toppings make it even worse.

When we want this treat at our house, I always make it fresh and vegetarian. It's really not that tough. In fact when I started making my own, I couldn't believe how easy it was and how much better I felt after having it as compared with a restaurant version.

I have a bunch of combinations that I've whipped up. I even make a homemade whole wheat blend dough. I'll be sure to post some of my other creations in the future. But for now, let me share with you how I make this delicious french bread tomato pizza. Check it out!

Ingredients:
1 store bought fresh french bread loaf
1 can tomato paste
1 cup water (more or less)
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3-4 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1 package shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut bread loaf on a diagonal into 1-inch thick pieces.

In a bowl, mix the tomato paste and water. Add the water little by little and stir completely before adding more water. Once you get to your desired consistency of pizza sauce, add the seasoning and garlic.

Next step is to assemble the pizzas on a baking sheet. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of sauce on each slice of bread. Top with cheese and tomato slices. Place in oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crusty.

Enjoy!
