    In case you haven't tried it: Cauliflower crust pizza

    For all you pizza lovers (so everyone out there) here is a great way to fit delicious pizza into your macros, its very flexible as most of the macros come from the toppings, you can get creative. This is just one pizza you can make, the possibilities for toppings are endless. If you have ideas let me know!

    CRUST
    (makes two 10″ crusts)
    1 medium head cauliflower, cored and separated into medium florets
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    2 teaspoons garlic salt

    Using a food processor, pulse the florets until it looks like rice. Place the cauliflower crumbles in a large bowl and microwave them for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Allow to cool a few minutes. Using a sieve or a ricer, or whatever means you see fit, squeeze as much water as possible from the cauliflower.

    Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of cauliflower, egg, cheese, oregano and garlic salt. Pour the mix onto the pan and shape the crust into a 9 to 12-inch round on the prepared. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

    Buffalo Chicken Topping
    3 oz plain nonfat yogurt
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
    1 chicken breast, thinly sliced and wicked of excess moisture
    1/4 cup all purpose flour
    1/2 cup Hot Sauce
    1/4 cup canola oil
    1/2 cup grated part skim mozzarella

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper and coat with all purpose flour. Shake off the excess and set aside. In a saucepan, heat the 1/4 cup canola oil on high heat. Slowly add the chicken pieces and cook until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oil and transfer to a paper towel. Combine with the Hot sauce in a small bowl and set aside.
    To make the 'blue cheese sauce', combine the yogurt, vinegar, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce on top of the baked crust. Add the chicken and hot sauce to the top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzarella on top.
    Set the oven to broil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the has melted and bubbled. Cut into it and enjoy.

    just tried this for toppings and it worked great also (although its a little light on the protein)

    sliced tomatoes, diced olives, goat cheese, spinach and mozzarella. I didn't measure any of them out, its easy enough to play it by ear though.
