Healthy Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust I was planning to share a quinoa, kale and tofu skillet recipe this morning, however plans changed after I had one bite of the pizza I made last night for dinner. Don’t get me wrong, the kale and tofu dish is great (I’ll still post the recipe sometime this week). However, this pizza isn’t your average pie and judging from the response I got when I posted an Instragram photo on Facebook last night, the recipe needed to be shared right away. The thing that makes this pizza so unique is that the crust is made out of cauliflower – yes, the vegetable! I honestly can’t remember when or where I first saw the idea for pizza made with a cauliflower crust (probably Pinterest), but I know that it has been done many times before. So yes, pizza CAN BE healthy! Healthy Pizza with a Cauliflower Crust ½ head cauliflower (about 2 cups riced) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon basil 1 teaspoon oregano Pre-heat oven to 400° F.

Cauliflower Pizza Bites When I am trying to eat better (ie: more veggies less chocolate) then I find it really helpful to have healthy snacks available for when I get the munchies. When I want something to snack on, I want it NOW. Let me start off by saying, these tasted very good. And...they were fairly simple to make. And....they are a great, healthy alternative for a snack. And... they freeze well so can be on hand for those cravings. Now...that being said....I probably won't be making them again anytime soon. Why? Well...let me show you a photo... This is my mini muffin tin in the aftermath of these pizza bites. I had to scrub out 24 tiny little circles and 12 tiny little squares. I mean...S-C-R-U-B... Not cool. The cauliflower mixture really cooked right onto the pans. Oddly enough, the pizza bites popped right out the pan (after I ran a butter knife around the edge of each one) and held their shape great. I don't know that paper liners would work.... Hmmm....any ideas? Cauliflower Pizza Bites
DailyBuzz Food Эталонные маффины! » Andy Chef - фуд-блог и интернет-магазин Вот сейчас отвлекитесь от всего! Закройте все соц.сети, отложите телефон и просто послушайте меня минутку. Бывает так, что хочется сделать какое-то блюдо (не важно десерт или нет), но всё что-то не выходит. То заправка в салате не такая, как хотелось бы, то тесто недостаточно вкусное в булочке и так далее. Совершенно случайно вышло так, что я облегчил задачу и вам и себе. Нет, я не могу не поделиться с вами ещё одним фото, смотрите: Вы видите, насколько пористое, влажное тесто внутри? В отличие от капкейков, которые выступают этакими нежными барышнями в пышных платьях (а вы хоть раз пробовали аккуратно довезти капкейки с их шапочками друзьям или коллегам по работе?) Ну и контрольный — в тесте мы используем овсяные хлопья, свежие груши, фундук и цельнозерновую муку. Как и со всеми подобными кексиками, начинаем с того, что смешиваем сухие ингредиенты. Растопите сливочное масло в микроволновке (на это уйдет секунд 20). Натрите груши на крупной тёрке. Хорошо всё перемешайте.
