What I ate Wednesday!

Okay so I barely missed the deadline . What I ate Wednesday is a new thing I have seen on other food blogs that I think could be a nice little incentive to be a little more interactive with me, hilly and our food. I'm gonna post something I ate that day with a picture and a short post about it. I would love if you would all do the same on our blog. We may just end up with all the best recipes or new ideas ever on this here little bloggity. Remember, I am on the paleo diet for a few more days but this was interesting and pretty good. Made with coconut flour and almond meal (the crust). That almond meal btw was $12.00 hmmmm, I don't know who's crazier them for charging for it or me for paying it? If you want the recipe, leave me a comment because I left it at the boyfriends house but I can get it if you want it. I think what I would do differently is maybe use a little more almond meal and a little less coconut. I am not sure I liked the combo, or maybe the coconut just made it too sweet. But its easy and I think would be delicious with some sausage, green pepper and mushrooms. I had tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes,shaved ham and onions. I would leave all that there and it called for artichoke hearts but after the almond meal I didnt want to spend another penny on it, but I would add more to it the next time and some people do eat a small amount of cheese on the Paleo diet and in that case I would throw maybe a handful of parm. on there. but even with out cheese, I think this could have been DELICIOUS! Now we all know for next time. But now that I think about  it, has anyone tried the cauliflower crust for pizza? Its absolutely delicious and its pretty dang easy too.  I CAN post that recipe.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
1/2 tsp garlic salt
olive oil (optional)
pizza sauce, shredded cheese and your choice of toppings*

Directions:

To "Rice" the Cauliflower:
Take 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. Do not over-do pulse or you will puree it. (If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the whole head with a cheese grater). Place the riced cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. There is no need to add water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself.
One large head should produce approximately 3 cups of riced cauliflower. The remainder can be used to make additional pizza crusts immediately, or can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
To Make the Pizza Crust:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup cauliflower, egg and mozzarella. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and using your hands, pat out into a 9" round. Optional: Brush olive oil over top of mixture to help with browning.
Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven. To the crust, add sauce, toppings and cheese. Place under a broiler at high heat just until cheese is melted (approximately 3-4 minutes).
Enjoy!
*Note that toppings need to be precooked since you are only broiling for a few
