I returned to work on Monday and have been trying to eat healthier. Saturday is normally my day off, however, I use Pintrest a lot and came across an alternative to a normal pizza base...cauliflower.

I was fairly skeptical, but this was delish and would recommend to anyone. I would advise, if your doing this recipe, you make sure you bake the base for a good 30 minutes. Mine turned out fairly good.

    Looks amazing! Do you add water to the cauliflower when you microwave it?

    It smells so good when baking. No, just into a bowl and into the microwave...there is a lot of water that comes out of the cauliflower itself. Xxx

    I'm curious, too. I make my own dough, so I don't feel guilt at all. But I'm curious about the calorie difference.

    Curious too. I ate real pizza last night with no guilt. If there isn't a significant calorie difference I'm not on board.

    funny thing, I had NO GUILT eating my pizza hut pizza tonight. It was delish!

    Pizza Hut pizza is meh. Too greasy and salty. The little places are the best.

    Will try this. I think I had it pinned already. But when I really want pizza, I want the dough too.

    I needed to have it delivered...and we don't have any small places by where I live...and I like Pizza Hut pizza...

    Not a single mom and pop pizza place? You should open your own. You'll make bank.

    I always put recipes into MFP, and my normal basic pizza dough which make the same serving of pizza has 390 calories and 69 g of carbs. This recipe here had 174 calories for the serving and 16g of carbs.

    I'm not saying it's any better than a proper pizza dough, just a little healthier and a good alternative if your craving pizza but like me do feel a little guilty afterwards!

    You can get a big portabella mushroom and stuff the top with pizza toppings too. Put it into the oven and you got a pizza.

    I like doing that, or taking beef tomatoes and building pizza stacks. Xxx

    There's a bigger problem if eating makes you feel guilty!

    If I can save a few hundred calories to have spares for wine and dessert I'm on board! Thanks for sharing!
