I have a list of favorite pizzas so long, that it stretches out the front door. I'm sure most people do. But, who here has a favorite pizza that's also a low-calorie casserole? No one? That's what I thought. You HAVE to give this a shot...

    Hmmm... sounds interesting! I bet I could sub some Tofurky italian "sausage" or veggie pepperoni slices for the meat in this to make it vegetarian.

    I would really like to hear from those who have made this. Cauliflower is one of those veggies I'm trying to work myself into eating.

    Sounds yummy. Just one question - what is "Italian Seasoning"?

    Sounds yummy. Just one question - what is "Italian Seasoning"?

    Mine comes In a bottle by the spices and it says "itallian seasoning"... I think it's oregano, basil and some other spices. Love this in my pasta dishes.

    It's a classic combination of herbs such as thyme, oregano and basil. You can buy it pre-mixed, or even make your own. There are several recipes online to help you get the mixture just right. :)
