Cauliflower Pizza

I made a cauliflower pizza again tonight.  I made it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was very good.  The crust is made with NO all-purpose flour, but cauliflower instead.  I think my mom told me about it first and then I looked for it online.  I found a good video on YouTube of a guy making the pizza.  It's called Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe - Cauliflower Pizza "Dough" Recipe.

I didn't have any parmigiano reggiano so I left that out, but I did add the goat cheese.. Mmm.  I also added 1 tablespoon of flax meal and 1 tablespoon of brown rice flour to the dough to soak up the moisture a little more.  For the toppings I used Hunt's mushroom pasta sauce, manchego cheese (sheep's milk cheese), mushrooms, and olives.

It was delicious!!

Strawberry Shortcake (no sugar or flour)

I made this Fully Raw Strawberry Shortcake that I saw on YouTube by "FullyRawKristina".  She has a lot of raw vegan recipes that look so good.  She's a little too happy and sometimes just plain goofy, but you get used to it.  Maybe all of us would benefit if we were to "practice a little... excessive happiness" (Patch Adams).

My whipped cream was way too watery and I left in the freezer over night... so it ended up like one big block of strawberry ice.  I think my problem was that I added too much water to my homemade almond milk.  I might try this recipe again next week and hopefully I'll get the whipped cream right.

I thawed it out for a few hours and my husband and kids liked it, but it should be better next time.
