Hello! Last night I made Cauliflower Pizza Crust but subbed nutritional yeast for the cheese. It came out more ‘eggy’ than I remembered but I love eggs so it was good to me!
Note: Carrot sticks are to French Fries as Cauliflower Pizza is to REAL Pizza.
For those of you who skipped SAT prep: it’s not going to fool you into believing it’s real pizzeria pizza.
But, I like it.
Then, I got the urge to bake and threw together Chocolate Coconut Oatmeal cookies. But even though the coconut was sweetened, they didn’t come out very sweet at all. Back to the drawing cutting board!
I should just add cream cheese and call it a day.
This morning I did 7 miles with both my Garmin and Fitbit Force. Review coming as soon as YouTube decides it wants to upload my video. Stay tuned!
Don’t forget to check out my China post and let me know if you have any questions about the food or how to eat with chopsticks or how many Panda Expresses there are there.
Question: Do you follow recipes or just make it up as you go along?
Jennifer says
How long should I cook it to get those edges nicely burnt like yours? Also, does it taste burnt or is it just for looks?
runeatrepeat says
I think I baked it for about 23 minutes, my oven is super old though. Make sure you make it thin too.
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
That cauliflower pizza looks yummy! This is one I definitely must try. Never thought of using cauliflower as the crust, what an awesome idea!
melisa says
The Natalie Dee comic is hilariously true.
Kaelene @Unlocking Kiki says
Even though it doesn’t fool me into thinking its the real thing I love me some Cauliflower pizza crust. I really want to try the cauliflower alfredo sauce thats been going around pinterest lately.
Sue says
make it up as i go along since i need to sub a few stuff coz i’m vegan
Livi says
I usually start out following the recipes and forget halfway through!!
Lis @ 26.2x2 says
I am lost if I’m not following a recipe. I’m just not good at throwing things together on my own. Sometimes if I have a base recipe figured out, can choose how to add things or change things up to make it my own…so I guess I’m not a total failure in that respect!
Nikki @ will run for pizza says
I have had this cauliflower pizza crust for ages and have yet to make it. Since I actually RUN for pizza – like 4 times a week – pizza, that is – I should probably make the crust a little healthier…
Kris @ Canadian Girl Runs. says
I have never tried cauliflower pizza crust but it looks pretty good!
Jennifer says
Are you and other bloggers crazy?! I like cauliflower as well, and that may taste good, but let’s be honest here, it looks like vomit.
This comment probably won’t make it on the blog but someone has to be a voice of reason.
runeatrepeat says
I can’t speak for other bloggers, but yeah I’m probably crazy…not clinically though.
Kate @ Coffee with Kate says
Literally just tried cauliflower pizza for the first time this past weekend (http://www.coffeewithkate.com/2014/01/20/weekend-recap-117-119/). I loved it so much, it actually completely satisfied my pizza craving. And tasted even better the next day warmed up. The worst part of making it was burning the crap out of my hands after microwaving the cauliflower rice, and then squeezing the excess water out. Your recipe seems so much more simple, though. I’ve got to try it next.
Kayla says
I literally laughed out loud with that carrot and fry analogy! I actually love caulicrust and it satisfies my pizza urge enough to get me by!
marti says
quick question..what kind of nutritional yeast do you use? i would like to try it but there are so many kinds! flakes, powder…etc… just looking for a suggestion! thanks so much 🙂
Ashley says
Totally fly by the seat (seam?) of my pants when cooking…and that’s how I like it 🙂
Hayley in Training says
JW and I have tried cauliflower crust twice – and both times it turned out way too floppy. Is there a way to get it to harden? The closest we got was getting the edges to harden, but the center was a no-go!
Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
I love your comparison about the pizza crust!
I typically just make it up as I am going along!
Molly says
I follow recipes pretty closely usually. I’ve got the cooking skills but I am not very imaginative when it comes to throwing things together. I have loved every recipe of your that I have tried, so Thanks and keep em coming!
Jackie says
I’ve never tried cauliflower crust I just can’t part with the real deal!
Chamois says
Let me know your conclusions on the Force! I have one, and though it works great for walking, it seems to cut me short every run! Last Saturday I did a group run of 7 miles, and I have 2 Garmin’s words against the Force tracking which calculated just around 6. Maybe it’s the speed that is messing it up? Not sure I like not having my actual mileage recognized, but I do like the “celebration” every time I meet my 5 mile goal.
Hayley@healthyregardshayley says
Totally just make it up as I go! I get ideas from lots of recipes but it is very rare I follow step by step or use the same ingredients…. aka there are lots of fails in my kitchen!
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles says
Love your analogy lol. Made me laugh. So true although I do love both roasted carrots and cauliflower pizza crust. I usually make up my own recipes because I am not good at following someone else’s directions. Curious how you like the Fitbit Force as I just review the Fitbit One.
Less says
Cauliflower pizza is my favourite recipe. I like to make a big batch of it so I can enjoy it throughout the week. Mmmm. So good.
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
I can’t wait to read your review of the FitBit Force. I have heard so many great things and have been on the hunt for an activity tracker for a while!
