Cauliflower Pizza

This is one of my favorite recipes. It’s really fun to make, and if you didn’t make it yourself, you would have absolutely no idea that it was made from cauliflower. This pizza is a great low-carb option that doesn’t omit any flavor. Your guests or kids will never know they are eating a pizza made of vegetables!

Cauliflower Pizza
Makes one 9-12in pizza – 6 slices

Crust:
2 cups shredded cauliflower
1 egg
1 cup finely shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

Topping:
1/2 cup piza sauce or marinara sauce
1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
topping of choice


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. “Rice” or “shred” the cauliflower in a blender until it resembles small crumbled rice/pieces, but not pureed. Using a few pieces of paper towel, ring the excess water out of the cauliflower. Place the cauliflower crumbles in a mixing bowl and combine with egg, mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix with a spatula until well combined. Generously coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray spray (this crust is known to stick). Place the dough on the baking sheet and press into a 9 to 12-inch round crust. Lightly spray the crust with nonstick spray and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove the crust from the oven and turn the heat to broil. Spread the sauce on top of the baked crust, leaving a half inch border around the edge. Sprinkle mozzarella on top of the sauce. Add any extra toppings at this time. Place the pizza back in the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove pizza from the oven and cut into 6 slices and serve hot.

Healthy Beet Cookies
Recipe By: Kimberly
Makes 24 cookies 

6 oz 0% Vanilla Chobani Greek Yogurt
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 egg
1 medium beet – peeled and chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp raspberry extract
1 tsp baking powder

Topping
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
10 unsalted roasted almonds – ground
24 dark chocolate covered almonds

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or lightly coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine chopped beet, egg, and extracts in a high powered blender or food processor and blend thoroughly until there are no beet bits leftover. Add yogurt and continue blending until completely combined. In a separate bowl combine flour and baking powder. Pour beet and yogurt mixture into flour mixture, followed by ½ cup raw shredded coconut. Stir until the batter is well combined. Place batter in the freezer for about 15 minutes so it can set and be more manageable. While the batter cools in the freezer, grind almonds in a blender or food processor. After the almonds are ground, combine in a bowl with ¼ cup coconut. Remove batter from the freezer, and spoon dough into 1in wide balls and dip in almond and coconut mixture. Place each ball onto a cookie sheet and lightly flatten with fingers. Bake for 10 minutes. After removing from the oven, instantly push a dark chocolate almond on top of each cookie. Allow cookies to cool before consuming.
