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.

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

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

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,

Thanksgiving Leftovers Breakfast

Are you ever stumped on what to do with all the leftovers in your fridge? Do you ever look at those leftovers on Day 2 and think, if I have to eat turkey or ham one more time....... Well let me tell you, you can make different things with those amazing leftovers in your fridge!!!  I am all about zero waste in our house, so I really like to get creative if I can and that's just what I did this morning and it's what I'm about to do tonight for dinner... and no one will ever know!!! It's going to make completely different meals using those leftovers you have right there in your fridge.  Some go for Turkey soup, Turkey ala king (which actually use to be my favorite as a kid), turkey pot pie, etc. But why just go for the basics when we can kick it up even further and have some fun with these leftovers... I don't know about you, but most of the time when I throw something into a casserole, we eat it for the first and maybe the second night and then I'll end up throwin
