I had a non-stop day at work yesterday and when I got home, all I wanted to do was make dinner and snuggle with Tony – and that’s exactly what I did!
Breakfast yesterday started out with spicy oats: 1/2 cup oats, 2 pieces cooked bacon, 1 Pam fried egg and 1/2 ounce 75% reduced fat cheese and a good shot of Frank’s hot sauce. (Thanks go to Allison for this creation!)
Then I lucked out that there was fresh fruit leftover from a work function – love when that happens!
I didn’t get a chance to walk yesterday, just too much going on. My friend I walk with decided to pick up sushi and brought me some back – I had a California roll and a cucumber salad – the dressing was just a vinegar/soy/crushed red pepper flavor – I don’t think there were many calories in it!
And you got love the wasabi and ginger!
The BSI is hosted this week by Coco and Balance, Joy and Delicias! I decided to try out another cauliflower pizza crust! This time I used a non-stick pan which helped immensely!
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
- 1 cup cooked cauliflower
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp. garlic salt
- cracked pepper
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoniong
- this whole crust: 418 calories, 28 fat, 15 carbs, 29 protein, 6 fiber
Throw everything into a food processer and just pulse until combined.
Once combined, just dump on your cookie sheet and press into the thickness you want.
Bake it at 450 for 15 minutes, without any toppings. Then add toppings and turn your broiler on until the cheese melts. Because the toppings aren’t in the oven long, you have to precook your toppings. I sautéed mushrooms and sausage for Tony’s side – I had sausage and red pepper.
Here it is out of the oven:
The outside got nice and crispy, but the middle was a bit soft – the taste was wonderful though! I think next time I’ll add 1/2 cup of flour and see if that makes a better dough – but this one was really good!
My plate:
Stats for Friday: (not pictured was 1 ounce of pretzels)

Okay – off to Mama Rini’s for breakfast! See you tonight!
wow, i have never seen anything like this before! i want to try it out so bad! next time we do home made pizza!
Sushi and pizza and bacon – oh my! So many good things going on here. I would probably just eat your pizza crust as is, because cheese & cauliflower is awesome 😀
Wow…. I LOVE the cauliflower crust!!!! What a cool idea!!! 😀

Does the crust hold together enough so you can pick up the pieces of pizza to eat them? Or do you need to just use a fork? Looks wonderful!
The outside you can hold with your hand, the inside needed a knife and fork – delicioius though! Next time I am going to add 1/2 cup of flour and see how that goes. 😀
The cauliflower pizza crust is an awesome idea! Your pizzas are ALWAYS amazing, but I think this is my favorite! 🙂 I think I’d actually love the soft inside…
What a great idea! I’m going to have to try that 🙂
you make a mean lookin’ spicy oats 🙂 love it!
i was just thinking about your cauliflower crust the other day!!! i have been wanting to make it since you first posted it – and just haven’t had cauliflower since! thanks for the reminder!
I even used frozen cauliflower – my store sells cauliflower for .99 a bag! 😀
CONSISTENTLY these meals look phenomenal –
Biz, there is a recipe that I am going to have to try! Thanks for sharing!
What an interesting idea to make cauliflower pizza crust! So creative!
Your pizza looks great Biz!
Great idea. I love pizza but sometimes it seems so heavy. This will be a lightened up alternative.
That crust is so smart! Love it! That sushi looks good – it’s been too long since i’ve had sushi!
Wow, I’m glad it turned out for you!! Now I’ve got to try this crust! Yummm
Yum, that cauliflower pizza looks so good!
Hope you have a great day today!
That pizza looks AMAZING!! I love the idea of cauliflower crust, I’ve never heard of such a thing and I HAVE to try that!!! I try to incorporate cauliflower into random things, as I know it’s so healthy, but it’s hard to eat plain.
When it comes to sushi, wasabi and ginger are my two favorite parts. Once when I got sushi they didn’t give me any ginger and let me tell you, I was not happy!! I asked for some, and they ended up giving me TONS, it was awesome.
Sometimes I see sushi as a vehicle for eating raw ginger. I love ginger!
great recipe! so creative!!! Thanks for participating! 🙂
