Today I tried a new recipe, Cauliflower Pizza Crust! I wasn't sure at all how it would turn out, but it was actually SUPER tasty! It was a lot like a decadent pesto pizza, except it was super low carb. Its mostly cauliflower, mozzarella, egg and some herbs. I didn't put any toppings on it, and it still had lots of flavor. It even fit into my Lean and Green meal for Medifast. I did go just slightly over my allowance for the L&G meal by adding a small salad, but I was starving while the pizza was cooking and I needed something to eat since it had been over 3 hours since my last meal. I think I kept it all within the Medifast guidelines for calories, fat, protein, and carbs. I do feel pretty stuffed though, I wasn't really hungry for my last two Medifast meals but I ate them anyway. I'm trying to stay on my eating schedule so I don't mess up my metabolism.

That sounds yummy. Where did you get the recipe?

I saw someone post something on the message board... but I didn't read it right away so I just googled for it. I measured by weight for some of it so that I could be precise, but this is what I did: 125g steamed cauliflower - riced and excess water poured out (1 cup) * 4oz mozzarella cheese (1 cup) 1/4 cup egg beaters (1 egg) 1/2 tsp fennel seed - crushed 1 tsp oregano 2 tsp parsley flakes Preheat oven to 450 degrees, line cookie sheet with parchment paper (no non-stick spray needed). Mix ingredients together and scoop out onto prepared cookie sheet and pat into a pizza-like shape with your spatula (about 1/2" thick). Cook for about 12-15 mins or until the top starts turning golden brown. The cheese and egg help fuze it together. Eat as is, or top with sauce and toppings and heat under broiler until your toppings are heated/melted. *I steamed the cauliflower and used the weight AFTER it was pushed through the ricer. A significant amount of water came out in that process so make sure you steam extra cauliflower, not just 1 cup of raw. I think I ended up using about 1/4 of the cauliflower that I bought to make one pizza. If you don't have a ricer you can try grating it with a cheese grater. I don't know what sort of difference it will make in texture though.
