Helloooo! How was your day?
I have been hitting the bottle pretty hard lately. I’m not worried about it, but I’ve also been eating craptacularly. That’s a word (‘cause I just added it to the Urban Dictionary).
Anyway, this afternoon I was at Costco and the pizza was calling my name. He still does this even though I’ve explained that we shouldn’t be together. We have a very passionate relationship, but it’s not healthy.
I decided to go with some fro-yo and make a healthy pizza at home. Think of it as hanging out with Costco Pizza’s more successful brother – Cauliflower 
(And yes, that fro-yo is super healthy because it has fruit soaked in high fructose corn syrup on the top and bottom.)
Cauliflower Pizza Recipe
-
3 cups cauliflower, riced (I used a grater because my food processor is MIA)
-
2 eggs
-
1 Tb. Italian Seasoning
-
1 Tb. granulated Garlic
-
Salt
-
1/2c shredded cheese
Directions: Cook shredded cauliflower in a skillet until soft, about 6 minutes. Mix with remaining ingredients and form a pizza shape of your choice, preferably a circle or square but if you’re some kind of artist feel free to express yourself.
Bake at 400 for 20 minutes or until firm. 
Add pizza toppings of your choice and broil until hot/melted. 
Enjoy!
(Then, have some wine and fro-yo guilt free, obviously.)
Question: What did you have for dinner?
*I’ve seen cauliflower pizza on Meals and Moves, CNC and Eating Bird Food – everyone gets credit for this idea!
Try using only one egg and use a mesh strainer (bag, preferably) or a thin kitchen towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible after heating up or boiling the cauliflower. Sounds like a pain in the ass but it’s worth it!
cauliflower very useful for a person who suffers from diabetes as it helps reduce blood sugar levels..
thanks for shared this recipe..
I’ve been seeing these pizzas with different crusts everywhere lately and I really want to make one. I even saw one made out of spinach? But this one seems really simple although I’d have to omit the cheese for my (mostly) Paleo diet. If I was going to take the time to make my own crust, I might try my own sauce too- possible weekend activity.
Last night’s dinner was boiled noodles topped with my mom’s stirfried tofu, soy cakes, mixed of peas, carrots and baby corn and shredded toasted seaweed on top.
Did Ben try the “pizza” and what did he think? It’s cracking me up just imagining the look on my husband’s face when I tell him I made this for dinner. But maybe he’d go for it – who knows!?
I am intrigued to try this because I am also a pizza addict, but i’m not a huge cauliflower fan. Did you see the sweet potato crust Tina t CNC did?
I’ve seen cauliflower pizza crust a couple of times, but was skeptical. It looks really yummy here! I will have to try it now! Thanks for sharing it!
“…have been hitting the bottle pretty hard lately”’- good job, the first step is admitting you have a problem. JUST kidding. I went through a bottle of wine this weekend, alone, so I can’t talk. Last night I had scrambled eggs and 1/2 a bagel.
At first glance I thought you said 1/2 a bottle of wine and I was unimpressed 🙂
I’m not sure if I missed but how did you like the cauliflower crust? I’m been trying to find a good recipe and haven’t. The last one I tried was horrible!
I liked it! But, I wasn’t expecting “real pizza” I knew it would taste different.
True, I agree about not expecting “real Pizza” taste. but the flavor on this first one I tried was horrible!
I’m seriously just going to have to buy some cauliflower and try this already!
I’m always skeptical of cauliflower pizza bc I just don’t think it’d be firm/crispy enough. But maybe ill be brave and give it a shot.
It’s not crispy (but maybe can be if toasted?) but it stuck together a lot more than I thought it would!
every blog out there has mentioned this crust. must try!
Y-U-M!! I have seen this around and have wanted to try it-I think you have inspired me! Any thoughts for what to put in as a binder instead of cheese? Dairy makes me sick…WAH!
Also-the cartoon at the bottom is AMAZING! And sad….
It’s been an incredible day, and yourself?! That base looks straannge, but then the pizza looks good, and at least you’ve gone for an awesome healthy option.
P.s. I’m on a computer, but your mobile theme is showing up, what’s going on?!
Thanks for the head’s up – let me look into it!
That happens to me too but I figured it was my fault. I’m using Firefox and I’m at work so they have a butt-load of ad blockers and stuff. The mobile version comes and goes with the different permissions I allow.
Maybe that’s my problem as well, I’m using Chrome however, but still got some ad blockers!
I’ve never heard of cauliflower pizza crust. I really want to try that out!
I keep seeing this crust but haven’t tried it. So was it really good? Did it fix the pizza craving?
I have been loving cauliflower crust for a while but last weekend I tried eggplant pizza! I broiled the eggplant first and then put some sauce, cheese and toppings and baked it for 10 min or so. It was awesome! And a nice change from the cauliflower.
I’m kind of nervous to try cauliflower crust…is it really good?
I had a smoothie for dinner last night topped with a little Special K Protein.
I mean, it’s not “real pizza” so you can’t really expect it to be pizza, but if you already eat a lot of random healthy foods that other people would be weirded out by then, Yes. It’s good on that level 🙂
But what did you think?? Was it good?
I thought it was good, but I didn’t expect it to taste like “real” pizza 🙂
I had trouble with my crust sticking to the pan (even though I used lots of oil) when I made this. Maybe the foil is the key – yours looks so perfect. Plus, I think I used only one egg. It still tasted good though!
Mine stuck too, I am thinking a nonstick and spray would help next time.
Mine stuck too but I used foil and olive oil. I could not get this to work, it might have been sticking by I used daiya instead of real cheese but it really seemed like it should be fine.
Parchment paper will change you life in baking!! That stuff is amazingly non-stick!!
Lord, everyone is making this cauliflower crust. It has to be good then! 🙂 Okay okay, I’m jumping on the Paleo train – just for this recipe though. 😉
I don’t think it’s Paleo because of the cheese? I’m not sure though.
Hope all is well little friend 🙂
Ohhhh Costco pizza will get ya!! Way to go girl, I can never stay away from it! 🙂 “…preferably a circle or square but if you’re some kind of artist feel free to express yourself.” You’re too funny!
Hmmm…..That sounds really good. I love cauliflower! My Caesar salad and chips and salsa sound pretty boring next to that.
I keep seeing this cauliflower pizza crust all over the inter-world and I’m dying to try it. I just tried cauliflower mashed “potatoes” last week and I think I found my newest obsession. This is next on the agenda.
