Pizza?!? Yes you can!



Recommended Posts

My family loves homemade pizza!! But the carbs are of course not good for us fellow bypassers, so I tried the cauliflower pizza crust. I must say it was amazing!!! It's filling, flavorful, low carb and low calorie!! It was a winner!!! I put a little sauce, some low sodium ham, beef, onions, bell peppers, and low fat cheese! I didn't even miss the crust!! As a matter of fact, we went to a local pizza place tonight for a party and I ate 1 very small piece of cheese pizza thin crust...I have felt yucky ever since!! This cauliflower crust will be my new go too!! My kids and dad were just pulling it apart eating the crust with no topping!! If you haven't tried it and you miss pizza, please do! You won't be disappointed!! I just googled "cauliflower pizza crust" and tweaked it a bit to our taste likings. I've gotten off track a bit and gained 10 lbs because of it. So I have put my foot down and am working to make whatever substitutions I can! This was a delicious sub to the fatty, high carb pizza I used to be addicted too!! Just wanted to share and be an encouragement and say that we CAN all do this and if we mess up, make a mistake, or slip back into those old habits...tomorrow is a new day and a fresh start!! Good luck to everyone!! :)

That is on my list to try as soon as I get out of "mushy" stage. I pinned it on my recipe board on Pinterest.

Cauliflower pizza Crust

Ingredients--- 1 cup cooked, riced cauliflower 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon dried oregano ½ teaspoon crushed garlic ½ teaspoon garlic salt olive oil (optional) pizza sauce, shredded cheese and choice of your toppings*

Instructions--- 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 5 minutes. There is no need to add Water, as the natural moisture in the cauliflower is enough to cook itself. When cooled squeeze out Water. 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 back on oven til cheese is melted and enjoy!!

****you will need to make sure your toppings are pre cooked!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
