Back From The Dentist

So 2 weeks ago I went for a dental examination - including 2 x-rays plus a full cleaning,  scale and polish.

I was so happy when the dentist informed me that all I needed done was to have one cavity filled and that I had perfect teeth.

Fast forward 2 weeks and 4 injections later I have had my cavity filled and don't need any more work done.

All and all the fear of having to go to the dentist is much worse then the actual appointment itself.

I am happy my little teethies are healthy! Today is a great day even if I cant feel the right side of my face and it is completely swollen.

I looked super classy drinking a latte with a straw today when Mat and myself went out for breakfast after :)

See ya

Low Carb: Cauliflower Pizza Base




While catching up on some of my favourite blogs I came across a pizza recipe that uses cauliflower as the base.

The idea sounded intriguing and the fact that it was low carb convinced me to try it out immediately.  Off to the store I went to gather a cauli and a few other ingredients that I wanted to put on my pizza.

I've made this cauliflower pizza base twice now each time I make it it taste better and better.

The picture above is my first attempt in which I used this recipe:  http://glutenfreehappytummy.com/2012/07/21/cauliflower-pizza-party-a-graduation-gf-v-bed-scd/

The base was nice but not too tasty and I didn't like the texture of the almond flour.  The second time I changed a few things around - I upped the cauliflower to 1/2 a head,  removed the almond flour completely and added 1/3c of cheese.

The cheese made the pizza AMAZING! and the over all texture of the pizza was awesome I could hold each slice in my hand and it was crispy on the outside but the inside had a lovely chew to it.  The cheese seemed to hold the entire mixture together nicely along with adding a delicious flavour to the pizza.
