Out of Sight, Out of Mind

April 12, 2010 by Julie 38 Comments

The crisper drawer in the refrigerator in our new apartment is lower than the crisper drawer in our old apartment. The old crisper drawer was nearly at eye level, while our new drawer is waaaay down at the bottom of the fridge.

I’m sad to say that the “out of sight, out of mind,” mentality has caused me to overlook some of the veggies I purchased at the grocery store last week. When I opened the crisper drawer and spotted cauliflower on the verge of death this evening, I knew it was time to use it or lose it.

Though I knew I needed to use the cauliflower, I wanted comfort food for dinner…. Something hot, satisfying and delicious.

Enter, cauliflower pizza crust. 🙂

Pre-Cooked Crust

Ryan and I both love this recipe. The first time we made it we didn’t have much faith, but it turned out oh-so-cheesy and oh-so-tasty.

The two main ingredients in the crust are cauliflower and cheese. The cauliflower really takes on the cheese flavor, so you end up with quite the cheesetastic crust.

Cauliflower Crust

Ready for Toppings

Ryan and I topped our respective halves with lots of veggies and goat cheese. Ryan also added MorningStar Farms Grillers Crumbles to his half.

Pizza, Pizza

I think I overdid it on the amount of cauliflower I used in the recipe this time (I didn’t measure it exactly), so my pizza slices didn’t hold up like they previously have.

Luckily it still tasted great!

My Plate

Cheese + Cauliflower = Good Crust

Taxes

I still have to do my taxes. 🙁 Boo.

Luckily, my financial savvy fiance has agreed to help me and I’m off to start filin’.

Are your taxes done?

    I can’t wait to try this crust! Love the idea and I always have cauliflower, and many times it goes bad and I throw it away.

    Yes, our taxes are done…refund is back…and sadly, even though we had a child last year, we still didn’t get much back! Boo.

    OMG! I made cauliflower crust too, except I made it vegan and it wasn’t very crusty. Do you think it’s the cheese that holds it together b/c I only used a 1/4 cup of vegan cheese? Love your blogs, by the way 🙂

      April 13, 2010 at 9:22 am

      yeah i definitely think the cheese is really important. i think i added too much cauliflower to the pizza last night & i believe that’s why it didn’t stay together like it normally does.

    You know, I actually stumbled upon your blog yesterday because of this recipe. I tried it with my bf, but it’s a bit soggy, and then re-tried today to see if I could get it right. I didn’t think it possible to have hit my pizza max! Anyway, first of all, love your site! And I will be following:) Second, any ideas on a crispier crust, or what I may have done wrong.

      i think it’s all about the cheese! i’d try adding a bit more cheese if it didn’t stay together. i think that was my problem last night!

    Good luck with your taxes, did not have to do mine this year (my work did it for me) but will have to do them next year as I am now officially self-employed. Very confusing indeed!

    I’ve read about this pizza crust several times, but have wondered how good it actually is. I have it printed in my ‘to make’ pile. Your post may have convinced me to give it a try!

      yes, it definitely is – especially if you have a food processor to use to “rice” the cauliflower.
