Now that I think about it... maybe it wasn't the WISEST decision to make amazing Cauliflower Crust Pizza the night before an official weigh-in.  Buuuuut, I had just purchased my nooch (nutritional yeast) and I've been excited about this crust recipe for the last 24 hours straight :)  So I did it... on a weeknight. (Doesn't that pizza pic -------> look amazing?!?!)

I think what sets me apart from some of the other healthy bloggers out there is that I am doing this while maintaining a full-time job and motherhood.  I am really really busy... and because of that, a lot of my posts are going to be about ideas for quick healthy meals:  hopefully which translate well into your busy life too! That said, this crust sounded so amazing, I had to take the time to make it, and ASAP.   Overall it took me about 40 minutes from start to finish.

First I gathered my ingredients: Then, I put the cauliflower in the microwave for the 8 minutes, while I combined all the other ingredients.  I did make one change... I adjusted it for high altitude (baking at a mile high sucks!!) by adding in 2 Tbsp of whole wheat baking flour.  I also used the entire cauliflower (not just half) b/c mine was really small and it didn't look like it was going to make enough for a "whole" pizza.  So next time, I might just double the entire recipe.

Here's a pic of all the crust ingredients (except for the cauliflower) and a pic of the crust spread out on a non-stick pan.  I don't have a cool silicone baking mat, YET! Oh, wondering how I made something so relatively involved on a weeknight, with Babycakes?  I let her in my Tupperware drawer... it wasn't pretty, but she had a BLAST! After the crust cooked for 15 minutes and started browning on the edges, I put on the pizza sauce and toppings.  Evidently I don't know how to make pizza because Dear Hubby reminded me that usually the cheese goes on first, then the toppings.  But, I hid all the toppings under a blanket of cheese.  Oops. 75% of the pizza was for DH, layered with pepperoni and pineapple.  My 25% was mostly orange bell peppers (I'm obviously obsessed!) and pineapple, with 3 pepperonis (serving size is normally 14 pepperonis, so just a few calories for a nice protein punch!).  And we loved the sauce (Classico)... very Papa-Johns-esque. Here it is topped with cheese after it baked and got all melty and yummy: And the best news of all, my vegetable-hating-hubby actually LIKED it.   And not just the "being nice" kind of liking (he doesn't do that), he actually liked it. Woot Woot!!



So, now on to the weekly weigh-in.  Hopefully you will be easy on me knowing what I ate last night (above) and thankful that I shared this amazing healthy recipe with you.  :)
