Bag Ladies Like Pizza

This week I went to the gym twice to run. The highs were around 34°F and the wind was not helping. I would run outside, but by the time I get home it's dark and just not safe...and cold, really cold. I did run outside tonight. It was a warm 41°F and only kind of rainy, but I was really happy to get back to running on the streets.

On days I go to the gym I have to carry 4 bags out of the house...

Purse
Laptop Bag
Lunch Bag
Gym Bag

I seriously look like I'm moving. I wonder what the neighbors think...hmmm...

I did a wonderful treadmill workout, I think I'm in love with it. Like most things in my life, I found this online and altered it a little bit to fit my goals. Here it is, it's not easy and you will sweat quite a bit. You'll burn a ton of calories AND run more than 3 miles in 30 minutes! Oh...do all of this at 1% incline too.

0-2 minutes at 4.0
2-5 minutes at 6.5
5-7 minutes at 6.7
7-8 minutes at 6.9
8-11 minutes at 6.0
11-13 minutes at 6.2
13-14 minutes at 6.4
14-16 minutes at 5.5
16-19 minutes at 6.5
19-21 minutes at 6.7
21-22 minutes at 6.9
22-25 minutes at 6.0
25-27 minutes at 6.2
27-28 minutes at 6.4
28-30 minutes at 6.0

On to bigger and better things...
I made pizza crust out of a vegetable! SAY WHAT?!

I found a recipe on Pinterest that led me to search online for the BEST recipe out there. Well, 3rd time is a charm and we have a winner! Due to the searching I honestly can't remember where I got this one, or if it's a combo of a few of them...


Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Ingredients
2 C Cauliflower, riced
2 C Mozzarella Cheese, Part Skim, shredded
2 Eggs, beaten
2 tsp Oregano, dried
1 tsp Garlic, crushed
1 tsp Garlic Salt
Olive Oil, optional

Toppings - Your choice!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F and line a cookie sheet or baking dish with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.

In case you didn't know how to spray ...

 To 'Rice' the Cauliflower - Use 1 large head of fresh cauliflower, remove the stem and leaves and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor and pulse until it looks like grain. OR you can use your cheese grater's small side...one large head will give you two cups or more.



like so - I should be a hand model, right?


Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cook in the microwave for about 8 minutes on high.

This is how 'riced' Cauliflower should look.

 Meanwhile, Beat the Eggs. Then add in the Oregano, Garlic, and Garlic Salt and mix well. 

I am in love with my tiny baby whisk!


Add the Cheese and Egg Mixture to the Cauliflower, mix well. I used my hands!


Transfer to the cookie sheets and/or baking dishes. Use your hands to spread it out and pat it thin, very thin! 

YAY!

I only have one cookie sheet :(

At least they all fit in the oven!
 

Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes. 
  
Finished crust!


Remove form oven. Top with sauce, toppings, and cheese. Place under broiler at high heat until cheese is melted, about 4 to 5 minutes.
 
 Here are the facts for the recipe! We ate this for dinner and lunch the next day, so the servings are plenty big!
