No Carb Pizza

I find it amazing how diverse cauliflower can be.  I've posted this recipe before in other places but I always feel like it should be a known recipe.

  • 1 Cup Mozzarella 
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup "riced"  Cauliflower 

To get the cauliflower ideal for pizza or breadsticks put it in a food processor. Then mix everything together and line your pan with parchment paper, press it into the pan. Preheat the oven at 350 and cook for 30 minutes, flip it over, and cool for another 30 minutes. 

It takes a little time, but it's worth it to eat pizza and no carbs!

Don Draper from Mad Men said "Keep it simple but significant." I feel like that could apply a lot to life but I'll tell you, it really goes with this recipe:

Seared Scallops with Bacon, Tomato, and Avocado Puree

It's a very interesting Californian dish with different textures and flavers.

Elegant Decadence

On Sunday, We hosted my Sister and Brother-In-laws birthday party and wanted to share my main course Stuffed Flank Steak. It is a great meal to make when feeding more than five people.  

Calories couldn't have been further from my mind for this one! I seasoned, then filled my steak with spinach, mozzarella,prosciutto, and Gorgonzola. All you do is roll it up, toss it in the oven on 350 for an hour and continue on to the other things you are making!
