Cauliflower pizza with spinach and blue cheese
We often find ourselves eating too many carbohydrates. So we started looking for meals where we could reduce the carbohydrates but still eat just as delicious. One of our favorites is homemade pizza so that one came first on the list. Searching gave us cauliflower pizza. And to our surprise it tasted really delicious with a firm bite just like the regular pizza. We filled it with spinach, mushrooms and blue cheese. Incredibly tasty.

Instructies
Cauliflower pizza
- Grind the cauliflower. This can be done in a food processor or with a grater.
