Eating Paleo is not so much about giving up all the foods your use too as it is coming up with a new way to make them. So this year I’m going more paleo then before because outside of health I also want to push myself to see how fit I can get within reason of being a lazy short 51 year old guy.
I like to learn, so instead of just reading about history or working on my guitar skills I now add cooking to my list of passions. My latest wonder food is cauliflower!! I steam it and then drip a butter sauce over it and toss it on bbq grill and its amazing, now I learn you can make it into a pizza crust..well game on!
If you toss cauliflower into a food processor or as in my case a blender, it quickly becomes very close to a rice like mixture. 
So I tossed chunks of cauliflower into my Ninja blender and then put the “rice “ into a pan with a little water and boiled for five minutes. OK here is the important step, you take the mash of wet cauliflower in dump it into a tea towel and then squeeze out as much water as you can. There will be a lot of water by the way. I then add one egg to the mix and whatever spices I have on hand. You roll it on to some parchment paper and make it into a pizza crust shape ( I made mine a circle, whatever you like). Toss it in the oven at 400 and let it cook away until its golden brown and the edges or dark. While this is going on I sliced some peppers and olives and pepperoni.
Take the crust out of the oven flip it over because the underside will not be as crispy. I then added my tomato sauce and toppings along with cheese and tossed it back in the oven for 15 minutes.
The end result is pretty damn good, now its not the crust your use too and it will taste of course like crispy cauliflower and egg,but it was very good and you could hold a slice and eat it just like normal pizza without all the calories and such.
I’ve only just started with cauliflower so I will keep you posted as I learn more.
Peace and Love all
