Cauliflower Pizza Crust


I have been wanting to try this recipe for a long time and I finally did it and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! It was delicious! I cannot believe I haven't tried this sooner. 

You can really put whatever toppings you want to on this pizza. I was going for veggie toppings and it came out great. On top of this recipe being healthier, it's also gluten free!!!!

Ingredients
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregeno
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Olive oil
  • Pizza sauce
  • Additional mozzarella, and your choice of toppings
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Remove leaves and stalks from cauliflower and pulse in a food processor until it looks like grain.
  3. Microwave for 8 minutes. (No need to add water!) After cauliflower has cooked, cool slightly, place cauliflower in cheesecloth and squeeze excess liquid out. (This step is very important!)
  4. Mix one cup of the cauliflower with the egg, Parmesan, crushed garlic, and oregano.
  5. Form the dough into a circle on a non-stick baking sheet. Brush olive oil over crust.
  6. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes.

  7. Add sauce and toppings and broil on high for about 3 minutes, or until cheese in melted. Remember, if you are using meat toppings they should be pre-cooked, since they will only be broiled for the time it takes the cheese to melt.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
