Print Recipe
Servings 4 People

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups riced cauliflower or you can rice approximately 2 heads of cauliflower- instructions below
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 to 1.5 cups organic cheese shredded or chopped up small
  • 3 Whole Eggs
  • 1 tablespoon basil
  • 1 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 heaping dose Family Love and Cheer!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400º
  • Get out your pizza stone or prep a cookie sheet; you can either oil it (with coconut, grapeseed or avocado oil) or place parchment paper on it.
  • Skip this step if you have riced cauliflower (which many stores actually sell now!) Remove the stems and leaves from the cauliflower and chop the florets into chunks. Use a food processor to pulse it until the texture is similar to rice. If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater or chop it up really small.
  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl.
  • Spread the dough out evenly on pizza stone or cookie sheet- about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick. I make 2 pizzas. 
  • Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle.
  • Remove crust from oven.
  • Top with a small amount of pizza sauce or pesto and toppings. (Be careful not to add too many heavy toppings as you don't want to weigh the pizza down. Our favorite toppings are pesto, spinach, and sun dried tomatoes!  )
  • Bake the pizza for another 5 minutes or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted.
  • Allow the pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes then cut and enjoy!!

Low-Carb Pancake Blueberry Surprise!

My Aunt Teri Lynn came to visit last weekend and loved all of the healthy food we cooked her : ) She wanted to share recipes with her teacher friends so she encouraged me to post it here : )

Low-Carb Pancake Blueberry Surprise!

This recipe started off as pancakes but as parents of 4 small children, my sister and her hubby decided to quadruple the ingredients and throw it all in a baking dish instead of waiting to flip each pancake individually. The result: pancake surprise! Serves about 10 people.  We use a kitchen-aide stand mixer, which saves time. If you don't have one, just mix it by hand in a large mixing bowl.
Print Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings 8 people

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients, blend these first:

  • 18 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1 Cup Coconut Milk or Whole Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Milk or Whole Milk
  • 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Teaspoons Pure Almond Extract
  • 2 Cans Unsweetened pumpkin (about four cups)

Dry Ingredients, now blend in these:

  • 1 Cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 2 Tablespoon Xylitol
  • 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon

Optional but highly recommended ingredients

  • 3 Cups Frozen or fresh berries!
  • 2 Cups Sustainably sourced semi sweet chocolate chips!

Topping Ideas:

  • 1 Dollop Full Fat yogurt
  • 1 Scoop Fresh Berries (instead of baked in)
  • 1 Serving Organic Maple Syrup
  • 1 Dose Family Love and Cheer!

Instructions
 

  • Coat a large glass baking dish with coconut oil and pour the mix in. Bake at 325° for 1 hour. If the top starts getting dark, cover the dish with tin foil. When it is done, we put coconut oil and Himalayan salt on top (butter substitute). Alternatively: If you prefer to make actual pancakes, use all the ingredients except for the frozen berries. Coat a pan with lots of coconut oil. Spoon a few Tbsp of batter into the pan for each pancake. Flip when they start to form bubbles. Enjoy your healthy breakfast!
