Cauliflower Crust Pizza

If you know me, you know I'd do just about anything for cheese. And really, anything is an acceptable vessel for cheese transportation into my mouth. This is why I could never be vegan for more than one meal.

i don't know what this is, but i want it. source

My BFFFFFFFforever Ruchipants lives in NYC by a huge cheese shop, which is one reason I shouldn't ever go visit her. We'd never leave the cheese shop. 

Problem is, cheese usually pairs super well with straight-up-bad-for-you-no-nutrition carbs. Like cheese and crackers. Mac and cheese. Grilled cheese. Pizza. Pizza. PIZZA.

No no no no NO. You silly little white bread nutrition-less carbs aren't stopping me from eating pizza. 

Another problem with pizza is that no matter where you get it, you're never going to find a slice for less than 6 WW P+. Now for those of you with bodies that aren't soft and round (i mean those of you with self-control), I must explain that 6 points is a lot. That's like, a 1/4th-1/5th of my day. And come on, WHO just eats one piece of pizza. 

So I present to you: white-nutritionless-carb-less pizza that is TWO points per slice. You're welcome.

Instructions

• After 10 minutes, add all other crust ingredients to the bowl and mix well

• On two cooking sheets sprayed with cooking spray, divide cauliflower mixture evenly
• Form into 12" or so circle

• Bake for 10 minutes, switch the pans, and bake another ten (unless you have a really reliable oven and can do this without switching the pans. Good for you. )
