Cauliflower Pizza Crust


I've been meaning to try out cauliflower pizza crust and finally did. Overall, it was okay, but definitely not the same as a homemade pizza. The crust was pretty flavorless, but only served as a vessel for delicious toppings. It was a bit of work for a mediocre meal, but I'm sure there are ways you could make this easier to throw together, such as microwaving the cauliflower and then throwing everything into the food processor to make the dough. 

Ingredients

Makes 2 personal pizzas
  • 1 large cauliflower
  • 1/4 c low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grate the cauliflower, then steam until tender, about 10 minutes. In a dishtowel, squeeze out as much liquid from the cauliflower as possible. Allow to cool before adding other ingredients, then mix with your hands. On a parchment lined cookie sheet, form two personal sized pizzas, 1/3 inch thick. Bake for 20-30 minutes until browned. Top with desired toppings, then bake another 5-10 minutes.

Grinch Kabobs

I saw this idea online and thought it would be a lovely, light side for our heavy Christmas dinner of ham and all the fixings. 

Ingredients:
1 dozen strawberries
1 dozen marshmallows
1 dozen green grapes
1 dozen marshmallows
1 banana, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
Toothpicks

Trim strawberries by slicing off the top. With a toothpick, skewer marshmallow, strawberry, banana slice, and finally the green grape. Enjoy as a festive appetizer, side, or dessert!
