Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

All the yummy treats I have been making lately has really taken a toll... on my butt! Every woman does the "jean wiggle" when putting on jeans from the dryer. I do the "jean hokie-pokie." I put my right leg in, put my left leg in, I pull them up and I shake all about. I lay on the bed and I roll myself around. That's what its all about! ..... Because I'm too broke to buy new jeans, I have decided to go on a diet. For today at least! 

If you follow me on Pinterest, you'll notice 99% of the pins on my Food Porn board are desserts. Trying to find something healthy to make for lunch was definitely a challenge. After scrolling through pages and pages of chocolaty goodness, I realized I somehow pinned a recipe for Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza. I'm sure it was one of those nights that I couldn't sleep and stayed up pinning until the wee hours of the morning delirious from exhaustion. That, or God did it... Hmmm.. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm sure it was God. It was probably His way of suggesting I eat something other than Nutella. However it got there, I'm glad it did because it was delicious.


 Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Grate 2 cups of cauliflower with a large box grater.


When you're finished, it should look something like this:



Pour into a microwaveable container, cover and heat for 6 minutes. The amount of cauliflower will shrink down to about 1 cup. Add one clove finely chopped garlic, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, one 1/2 cup romano cheese, 1 egg and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Make two circles of "dough" on a parchment lined baking sheet like so:


Brush with olive oil and bake at 450* for 15 minutes. 


Top with sauce, pre-cooked toppings and cheese. Place under the broiler just until cheese is melted and dig in!


Look! I even added a salad to up the health factor!
