So after almost a year of having a non working oven I was blessed tremendously by a new one as a gift from my inlaws. So this morning I have been pinteresting what I want to bake first. Looking through what ingredients I have in the house I have decided to give this cauliflower pizza recipe a try! I've made some in the past and they are delicious, so I'm excited to give this one a try! It's a bonus that its 21 day fix approved! Yay!

Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Place half of cauliflower in food processor; pulse until cauliflower forms a paste.
3. Add remaining cauliflower; pulse until cauliflower is smooth and the consistency of mashed potatoes.
4. Place doubled cheesecloth over a medium bowl. Strain cauliflower by placing it in cheesecloth, in two or more batches, and squeezing water out. Cauliflower will be the consistency of baked potato. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
5. Combine cauliflower, garlic, oregano, onion powder, red pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and eggs in a medium bowl; mix well.
6. Place cauliflower mixture on a 12-inch pizza pan (or baking sheet) that is lightly coated with spray. Press down mixture until it’s very thin. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Top crust evenly with pizza sauce, sliced mozzarella cheese and tomatoes. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until pizza sauce is bubbly.
