Deep Dish Pizza (caliuflower)

I really do not want to give the impression we are feeding Patience alot of meat and cheese. To be honest she has veggies 95% of the time. And fish. We do not want trade in a insulin problem for a heart problem



But I try to make them fun. I do not want her to think veggies have to be drenched in cheese. Alot of times she eats steamed veggies or raw veggies.

Anyway

1 cup of Cauliflower
Spices such as oregano, basil, parsley
1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese
1 egg
Pizza toppings
Sauce
You steam the cauliflower, cooked but not all the way then rice it in a food processor.
Shred it

Then you mix, cheese, egg, spices and cook for 12 minutes on a greased cookie sheet with olive oil
That makes the dough.

After the dough has cooled make just like a regular pizza and cook until crisp. Add any pizza toppings even turkey pepperoni. Or make it veggie. She was sursprized and happy. :) The more you shredd the caliuflower the more it will be more of a dough. Like I said please do not think this is something she eats everyday. Just a instead of pizza. We do this.

Even my Simplicity said pretty good mom. This recipe was seen on Dr. Oz. and this photo here is not Patience serving. Jerry, Patience and Simplicity ate this and there was some left to eat.  It could even make nice bread sticks.
Of course we tell Patience it is a healthier pizza. Not real pizza. Because if someone offers her real pizza we do not want her to think it is ok. We explained to her we use veggies to make the dough.
