The 4 week challenge- Day 1

Day 1 of the 4-week challenge came and went with a bang and of course, lots of learning on how to improve cooking healthy meals for 4 weeks straight. I decided to make cauliflower crust pizza. I had fixed the recipe before and the kids seemed to have liked it so I gave it another shot. I ended up making two pizzas, a large one with hams and mushrooms and a homemade spaghetti sauce. I made a smaller "white" pizza for my son who does not like tomatoes in any shape or form. No big surprise: the mushroom and ham was much more flavorful than the white. As my older daughter said: Mom I like the pizza, but I wouldn't eat it everyday. She then said the top was much better than the bottom. So this will not be a staple at our household, but I would definitely make this tasty pizza again. My thoughts for next time are to try to boost the flavor of the cauliflower crust with a little more garlic in the egg, cheese and cauliflower mix. The crust itself held up pretty nicely, much better than on my first try. Just make sure you strain the water from the cauliflower after cooking it in the microwave. If you're interested, you can find this recipe at www.theironyou.com .

Buen provecho,
