Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Pizza
A co-worker of mine is currently on a special diet and has been experimenting with several low-carb dishes. One day a few weeks ago, she dropped by my office to tell me about a recipe she’d found – pizza crust made of cauliflower! Yes, it sounded a little strange, but I was definitely intrigued. She offered to bring a piece to the office the next day for me to sample and even day-old and reheated, it was really good! My husband is a pizza fanatic, so this new discovery was particularly exciting. With a hefty dose of veggies, I feel good about eating it myself and feeding it to him, which means he can get his pizza fix a lot more often now. I’m not going to lie and say it’s just like eating a flour pizza crust because it’s not. I’m interested to see what some of you think, so please, if you give it a go, come back and leave a comment! Ingredients: 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp crushed garlic 1/2 tsp garlic salt Enjoy!

Big Girls, Small Kitchen: A Guide To Quarter-Life Cooking - StumbleUpon Cupcake Bakeshop by Chockylit I Breathe...I'm Hungry...: Zero Net Carb Flax & Parmesan Pizza Crust As a food blogger there are times that you get really excited about writing a post because you know you’ve outdone yourself and come up with something awesome. This is one of those times! After the dismal failure of the flax crackers earlier this week I was down, but not out. I knew that the low carb cracker recipe could work, but it needed some tweaking. Meanwhile I’ve been thinking about how I could adapt it to make recipes for low carb bread, pizza dough, pie crust etc., and have literally lain awake at night mulling over different ideas. Today my son had his first one-on-one play date here at our house, and it went great. It came out even better than I’d hoped! It’s made with whole ingredients that are actually good for you, which isn’t always the case with low carb store bought products which usually have all kinds of chemicals and fillers in them to make them taste and feel authentic. Oh yeah did I mention it was super easy to make? Makes 4 servings: Ingredients: Sample Pizza Recipe:

potato pancakes, even better It wouldn’tbeHanukah if I didn’t refresh my favorite, dead-simple potato pancake recipe. But it wouldn’t make for a very interesting story if I told the same one every year; in fact, I think they get better with each try because I continue to tweak them ever so much. This year, after finally making peace with my cast frying pan (coincidentally, over an “apple latke”) I cooked them in there, and will use no other pan for them as long as I live. In an ongoing, obsessive effort to create latkes that look precisely like the flying spaghetti monster/tiny piles of rope mops, I again attempted to create the longest strands of potato possible by placing them sideways in the feed tube of the food processor — the food processor not only saves a ton of time, it creates coarser, more visible strands. Next, I at last retired the sieve-pressing for a cheesecloth-squeezing. Finally, if you think that latkes are just for Hanukkah, with all due respect, you’re totally missing out. Or an appetizer.

So Very Blessed...: Cheesy Quinoa Bites - StumbleUpon A new year always brings new resolutions. And I do have new resolutions (in a post to come), but this would be the same resolution I’ve had pretty much every year that I can remember – get healthier. Hopefully this is the year that sticks. It has to stick through January, because I’m in a group of ladies trying to lose 10 pounds by February 4th. Even if it doesn’t stick all year, a month of healthier eating/exercising is better than nothing, right? So far this year, I’ve exercised everyday (*cough* ignore that the grand total is only two days)! But eating is the other half of the equation. Enter Cheesy Quinoa Bites. These babies are amazing. I may try to play around and sub fresh parsley for the cilantro at some point, but they were delicious as is! Ingredients Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Notes: The dipping sauce pictured is Kraft's Light Honey Dijon salad dressing.

Cooking For Engineers - Step by Step Recipes and Food for the Analytically Minded ~pjgh : påleo: Coming in From the Cold Warning! Metaphors ahead! Metaphors, not innuendo - if you like innuendo, check out Modern Paleo Warfare. As ancestral eaters, we've been living in the ice age, some may have considered leaving the ice age and I've wondered whether we're even entering the mesolithic. Metaphors aside, paleo is moving along with the times and being moved along by the people. Is it time to come in from the cold? What began as the paleo diet has inspired and sparked much debate, research and reasoning to become a paleo template - using the paleo diet as a starting point and building it up into a framework, or set of principles. Chris Kresser calls it a paleo template in Beyond Paleo and this is very much at the forefront of Kurt Harris' and Richard Nikoley's mind in their responses to the recent debunking paleo articles. Paleo is not a religion! J Stanton noticed that paleo had reached the ominous third stage but who would have thought that the fight would come from vegans? We are animals, not machines! Principles
