I Heart Pizza

Pizza is my absolute favorite food. I eat pizza every week. I guess you could say that I'm slightly addicted to pizza. (I feel an intervention coming soon since I just admitted it.) However, pizza and fitting into a bridesmaid dress don't exactly go well together. 
The reason that I cannot eat as much pizza as I would like to. :( 

I've been working out, of course, but I saw Cassey from Pop Pilates posted a "Cheap Clean Eats" segment on a flourless pizza and I was intrigued. I decided that I HAD to try it and see if this healthy pizza tasted just as good as a real one. (Cassey said it did, but I don't really trust people on pizza.) This began one crazy adventure in cooking! 

Ingredients

Chopping up the cauliflower

Yes, I did buy a food processor for this recipe. 

I'm not that great at making a circle. 

I can measure out ingredients like a boss, though!

Don't be fooled! This does NOT taste like real pizza!
Ok, so it wasn't an epic fail in the kitchen. The pizza wasn't THAT bad. When you are a pizza addict though, it doesn't take the place of the real thing. So I had a second pizza adventure. I used Money Saving Mom's homemade pizza dough recipe and tried again. 
Ingredient round up

Is this what the yeast is supposed to look like? 

Time to knead some dough! How do I know when I'm finished? 

Is it just me, or am I about to cook Australia? 

After google verification, I did cook Australia and it tasted amazing!


Second pizza attempt was a success! Some things to note: (1) I did not attempt to make the dough look like Australia. I really suck at forming a circle and once I realized my pizza looked like Australia, I decided to keep it like that. (2) I wasn't sure if the yeast was actually working, so we also ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut in case this was a total bust. It was a good thing we did because we were all so hungry that both pizzas were completely gone!
