Almond-coconut flours PIZZA Crust

OK so may I say how good this was for my lunch today; crust; 1/2 c almond flour, 2 tb coconut flour, 1 egg, 1/2 c shredded cheese, red pepper, garlic, italian spices and water to make it the right consistency.

Bake crust at 350 for 20 min until golden. 

 Then I used Hummus instead of sauce,

 a thinly sliced small tomato, turkey pepperonis, top with mozzarella cheese and jalapenos of course. 

put under broiler for a few minutes then ENJOY!!  5-sugars - 29 carbs

                                                               Zucchini Crust Pizza

Take 1 Zucchini and shred in your food processor or do with a hand shredder

Put in a bowl
Add in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese  -  a combination of what ever cheeses you have on hand.
1 egg

some fresh garlic or powder

red cayenne pepper

Italian seasoning

I like mine spicy and I also found that by cutting up some jalapenos (from a jar kind) and adding it to the crust makes it very tasty.

mix together and bake in oven on bottom shelf at 415 degrees on Parchment paper on a pan this is the secret to get the bottom brown.
bake 15 minutes till golden then remove and put some sauce, 

(use pasta sauce on my fave products tab, or some alfredo sauce is great too)
then cheese and what ever toppings you want. I like turkey pepperoni.
put back in oven on top shelf for 5 more minutes. Enjoy!

DEEP DISH PIZZA: 

by: Sandi Metz Hedgcoth

4 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1/3 c cream 
1/4c grated parmesan
1/2 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2 c mixed italian cheese
1/2 c sauce of your choice (I used 1.5-2 cups in this batch)
1 c mozzarella cheese

SIDE NOTE 1: For today, I had no oregano or garlic powder, so I used Paula Deen's Italian seasoning AND her House seasoning. About a Tbsp of each, and it's delicious! 

SIDE NOTE 2: Remember this recipe for the crust is for ONE pan. I just happened to double it today to make 2 batches.

Pizza Toppings of your choice: pepperoni, ham, onion, spinach, artichokes, peppers, mushrooms, bacon, italian sausage or beef (browned) and additional parmesan or other cheeses for topping.

Preheat oven to 375
Beat together cream cheese and eggs til smooth. Add cream, parm cheese and spices, mix again.

Spray oblong casserole dish with Pam. Sprinkle 2 c italian cheese into dish, pour egg mixture over that. Bake at 375 for about 15 min, let stand 5 minutes.

Spread on your sauce, sprinkle 1 c of mozz cheese and pile with your toppings. Then sprinkle with more parm, mozzarella, cheddar, or whatever you like the most. Return to oven and bake til bubbly and browned to your liking (approx 10 min). Allow to stand about 10 min before cutting.

NOTES:
Ideas for changes are endless as long as you stick to your carb and sugar rules: i.e. use SF BBQ sauce with chicken, other cheeses like gouda, smoked mozz, feta... Just use your imagination and have fun, BUT DON'T MESS WITH THE RATIO ON THE CRUST!!! Whether you keep it as is or double it, etc... keep the ratio correct. 

I always doubled the crust recipe before because I thot I'd prefer it thicker. Today I doubled it, however, I made 2 separate batches and the crust was fine as is, without being doubled but you may want to try both ways and compare. Great recipe to freeze sections for later meals.. I don't have a clue what the count is though..guess it depends on the type of sauce you use and even then, by the time you divide it into several squares.. it'll probably amount to next to nothing in terms of sugar or carbs. Experiment and enjoy!

Zucchini Pizza

from Amber: http://www.meandjorge.com/

I used 1 zucchini and sliced into 3- 1/2" slices.

rub both sides with EVOO and I put in toaster oven under the broiler on non-stick foil

Broil both sides slightly brown

Take out and put sauce on top (I used Seeds of Change Romagna 3 cheese pasta sauce)

then mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni

put back in and broil until done.

It was very moist and good.

Zucchini pizza made with different toppings. and this was SOOO delicious! 

I put olive oil on the zucchini that I sliced into 3 parts.

grilled both sides in the toaster oven on broil.

then I put; ricotta cheese, pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, some turkey sausage crumbles, some onions and mushrooms that I sauted ahead in olive oil, then a bit more cheese.

I put back into the toaster oven under broil until it got brown and melty.
