Last night I was with my mom and she mentioned she wanted to try the cauliflower pizza crust that I whipped up a few months ago. She had a bunch of cauliflower and some veggies on hand, and so we decided to make it for dinner. I LOVED it when I made it last time, and it turned out even better this time. We doubled THIS recipe, and it made a pizza the size of a small cookie sheet. We topped it with pesto, sliced tomatoes, olives, bell peppers, some pepperoni on my dad’s portion, and some part-skim mozzarella. It turned out AMAZING. How amazing you may ask?
Well, my dad is not always keen on the healthy endeavors that my mom and I like to try with our cuisine. He was more than thrilled (and a little bit surprised) when he came home to see we were having pizza for dinner. I’ll be honest, pizza isn’t usually on our menu of grilled chicken and veggies. The dinner conversation went something like this…
- Dad: “Wow. This pizza is delicious.”
- Me: “It totally is.” (I don’t think I really said totally, but I’m sure it was something to that extent.)
- Mom: “We had a bunch of left over cauliflower, so we decided to use it.”
- Dad: (In confusion) “Then why didn’t you use the cauliflower?”
- Mom: “We did. You’re eating it”
- Dad: “Huh? I don’t see it.”
- Mom: “The pizza crust. It’s made out of cauliflower.”
- Dad: “No way. Is it mixed into the dough?”
You get the gist. My dad couldn’t believe that he wasn’t eating a normal thin crust pizza dough. Proof that this pizza is bomb, and you should try it.
I absolutely love this, and great photos. This is reason enough to get me to subscribe to your blog! Thanks. And oh, I do the same thing every time I cook for my father, except I usually don’t tell him it’s healthy because he has the eating habits of a four year old.
