I remember when I was young and my parents would go out on a Friday night and leave us kids to eat delivery pizza. Me + my siblings would have a contest to see who could eat the most pieces…I am pretty sure I ALWAYS won! I LOVE pizza, I mean does anyone not? That said, at age 30, I can no longer stuff my face with pizza without any consequences…. so sad. BUT, here is the solution… Cauliflower Pizza! It is pretty much a carb free pizza made with goat cheese + your favorite toppings.
I have been making cauliflower rice for a while, but I was a little hesitant to try cauliflower pizza (just not sure how the flavors would meld together). The end product proved DELICIOUS though; this is definitely my new pizza alternative.
