Gettin' Healthy

So I've spent the past month going to Crossfit at Crossfit870 here in Jonesboro.  Well they started a paleo challenge diet the week I started going there to work out.  For those of you who don't know the paleo diet is basically eating like a hunter/gatherer avoiding carbohydrates and refined sugar.  I sometimes break this diet plan because I LOVE CARBS, but lately I've been trying really hard.  Needless to say I came across an awesome recipe on pinterest for low-carb pizza!!! I am a HUGE fan of pizza so I knew I needed to try this recipe. Basically instead of using flour as the crust you use cauliflower!!! Yummy!!! I decided to try this recipe today since I had a few extra hours to waste...

I started here with this entire head of cauliflower! I then cut off the stems and leaves and used my magic bullet to make it more like actual flour.

After you get everything mixed together you bake the crust by itself....

Then you add your toppings!!!! I used tomato paste, ground turkey, cheddar cheese, onions, and tomatos.

Here is the final product!!! I accident turned my phone sideways this time so it needs to be rotated, but you get the point!
--The end result was a very delicious close to pizza tasting cauliflower pizza. It does NOT taste exactly like pizza crust, but it really is yummy.  I allowed myself to eat one piece before Tyler got off work! Whoops! Now I'm waiting for him to get here so I can devour the rest! Anyways here is the website that gave me the exact recipe... http://stickafork.net/2012/04/16/cauliflower-crust-pizza/ Enjoy eating this low-carb pizza!!! I wish I knew the total calorie count, but oh well it's still yummy!
