No Carb Pizza... the link to the original recipe is on the name... I did change a few things, but not a whole lot. I switched out the regular cream cheese for Fat-Free cream cheese, I used 1% milk instead of heavy cream... used Light Parmesan, used Low-Moisture, Part-Skim Mozzarella instead of full-fat Mozzarella, and turkey pepperoni, I also instead of 1/2 tsp. oregano, did 1/4 tsp. each oregano and basil. For pizza sauce, Contadina Squeeze sauce is actually very good, and only has 3g sugar per serving. So, basically, I cut fat and calories wherever I could. I halved the recipe for this, since we had never tried it before, and I didn't want a ton of food waste if we didn't like it... but... OMG. WE LOVE IT. It will be made again... soon. We've even decided that we're making it for my daughter's second birthday party. We're also going to get some regular pizzas, just because of how many people we're feeding, but this is totally going to be on the table too. :)
The top pic is the crust before I sauced and topped it, and the bottom pic is the pizza after it was done. I also say, follow the recipe, and throw that puppy under the broiler. Baby, baby!!! Fantastic. My husband, who is a non-op, ate two servings, and inhaled them both. I'll let you know how it reheats. I have 3 slices (my portion was 1/16 of my 9x9 pan... which was about 2 oz.) of my own left, and I'll probably try reheating each a different way... skillet, microwave, and oven. I'll let you know what's best. :)
Oh! Pro-tip for eating out. If you go to Chipotle, order a kids' meal. I had a vendor bring in lunch today, and I ordered a kids' meal. I had them hold the tortillas (did I mention I don't like food waste?), ordered barbacoa, fajita veggies, and pico de gallo. I asked for a side of cheese. It comes with either fruit or chips (I took the fruit), and a drink (the vendor got me apple juice, which I gave to my daughter). They give you like, 4 oz. of meat, and 4 oz. of each of the other toppings you pick. I ate two ounces of meat, and 1/4 cheese, and about 1/3 of veggies and pico. So, I literally have a whole second meal. Plus, if you get it to go, they give you your side of cheese and your cutie (or halo, not sure which), in these great 4 oz. portion cups, which make it very easy to take stuff home in! :)
So, go out with people, get two meals for the price of one! And it's WAY cheaper than a regular burrito bowl. :) Do you have any eating out pro-tips?
