Looking for a recipe-Cauliflower pizza
Replies

For some people pizza is a trigger food. My bf gets it occasionally but tends to eat a whole pizza to himself. For me I cant have chocolate or tortilla chips in the house or I binge eat. What works for you may not work for another.0

I've tried a number of different cauliflower recipes (cauliflower grilled cheese, pizza, garlic sticks) and it is definitely a yummy alternative to carbs. The texture takes a little getting used to, though.
So, my comments were deleted, although I'm not sure why.
My point was, why bother eating something that you have to get used to? Why not just eat pizza if you like it? In moderation, of course.
Why does it matter what someone other than you eats or wants to eat?
beucae the whole thought process of "bad" foods sets people up for an unhealthy relationship with food.
You can eat real pizza and make it a little less calorie dense...
The OP says nothing about anything being bad. She said she wanted to try a lower carb alternative and wanted help finding the recipe. Is that bad?
unless she has an un identified medical condition..low carb is totally unnecessary..
and the point is you can have a lower calorie option with thin crust and x y z topping..
So it's unnecessary. So what? Pizza is unnecessary. So now everyone that eats in a manner that is unnecessary has a bad relationship with food?? Geez, ever hear of personal preference?0 -
Do you all wring your cauliflower out in a tea towel/cheese cloth? I tried that the first time I made it but it still turned out soft. But I baked it sans parchment on an Airbake pan. It was tasty but I would not consider it a success overall.

People can do this and that, but why should you dictate that? Why do you care if someone wants an alternative to something?
Also- it's a matter of opinion. To you, cauliflower crust isnt pizza crust. To me, thin crust isnt pizza crust, I hate thin crust, it's like a cracker. But I dont care if you eat it, because its YOUR alternative, and YOU like it.
wait so using thin crust makes pizza not pizza, really?
I am not dictating anything.
I gave an option to the OP to have REAL pizza that has lower calories.
and if you substitute something for something then how does the thing that you are substituting for still remain the same? Is that even possible?

If you are talking about the OP, that was already answered (in the OP). Lower calorie and lower carb.
Why is your suggestion of thinner crust any less "bad" than hers of cauliflower crust??0 -

yes, and she never clarified why she wants to low carb...medical condition, just because, etc..
I am assuming she is taking the majority MFP view that carbs are somehow "bad", which they are not.
don't understand your question ...
thin crust is just way to get less calories..it is still made from wheat/dough/etc, so it is not a substitute....0 -

There IS bad food! We dont need to get all philosophical.... there is horrible, greasy, unhealthy food. And it's totally ok to eat it in moderation, youre right! But to say pizza isnt bad doesnt make sense.
And yes, you can substitute things and it's still the same thing. Hamburgers are beef. I eat turkey burgers. I still consider it a burger. But it's leaner, and I like it.0 -
so wait....you guys are making pizza with a mashed cauliflower crust?
i thought you just wanted a recipe for pizza with cauliflower on it.
i dont understand why anyone would do this.0 -

sooo beef is bad? what is it about pizza that is bad? It has carbs, fats and protein. If you slap them altogether that makes it a bad food?

actually no..there is no "bad" food..if you hit your macro/micro/calorie goal for the day and said day consists of hamburgers and ice cream then that is not bad...

Wow! Thanks for all the great responses. This site is awesome. I don't think any food is bad when eaten in moderation. I just wanted to try cauliflower crust because it sounded interesting and I like cauliflower. I thought this would be a great way to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. Carbs are not bad, i just prefer to try to get a lot of them from vegetable sources.0

Then we can disagree. And bad food doesn't just equal calories or macros or daily limits. There is more to life than counting. Sometimes, "bad foods" make people feel like crap, or make them lethargic, or make them nauseous, or make their cholesterol go up, even while fitting into their daily counts.
Oh lawd, I'm arguing with people on their preference for trying to eat pizza, or veggie crackers, or whatevs. Let's just happily share recipes if someone asks for one without telling them it's wrong or horrible.

Turkey is also very high in sodium. Every "substitute" has it's trade offs in regards to macros and micros. Does that mean a turkey burger is inherently healthier because it's lower in fat/calories, even though it's loaded with sodium? Hell no. Eat both in moderation and all will be well.0 -

I saw a recipe for cauliflower pizza yesterday and cant seem to find it again. Can someone re-post or diret me on how to search for this. Thanks
Just quoting the OPs completely innocent, polite question as a reminder how ridiculous this conversation has gotten.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that question. She isn't vilifying any foods. Just wanted a recipe for cauliflower crust.
Thanks again for the recipe. We are looking forward to trying it tonight. Will let you know how it turns out. Looking forward to getting back into a healthier lifestyle in 2015. I already have more energy after just once week of tracking food and being more cognizant of what I am eating.0 -

1 dough ball from trader joes (or your local grocer)
3 links of extra hot italian sausage, browned and chopped
1/2 bacon, browned and chopped
1 cup italian 4-cheese blend from trader joes
1/8 cup of FINELY chopped cauliflower
1 TBS of minced garlic
1/4 cup of caramelized yellow onion, chopped
2/3 cup of your favorite pasta sauce
roll out the dough
spread minced garlic on as a base layer
top with as much sauce as preferred
add chopped sausage and bacon and onion
cover liberally with 4-cheese blend
sprinkle half the pizza VERY lightly with finely chopped cauliflower
bake at 420 til brown and bubbly
options: grated parmesan cheese and/or balsamic reduction, crushed red pepper
Once done, do I just throw away the half that has the cauliflower?
if you dont want to pick off the cauliflower, yes.
the half without the cauliflower is my half.

I just wanted to try cauliflower crust because it sounded interesting and I like cauliflower. I thought this would be a great way to incorporate more vegetables into my diet. Carbs are not bad, i just prefer to try to get a lot of them from vegetable sources.
thanks for clarifying OP ...

To make cauliflower crust, typically, I will blend 1/2 head of cauliflower with 1 egg and red pepper. bake in oven till it begins to brown, then top with red sauce and toppings. i go for spinach, grilled chicken or steak, fresh peppers, tomatoes, veggies; skip the cheese.
