Cauliflower Crust Pizza

My kids are THE PICKIEST EATERS ON THE PLANET.  Or at least one of them is.  I have NO idea where they get this (insert severe sarcasm).  Ok, well, Mark and I are both pretty picky, so it's really no shock that at least one of the kids won't touch food. 

My challenge each day is to not only try new recipes, find healthy options for my family, and teach everyone how to eat whole, natural foods, but it's to get.food.into.my.child.  As I've been getting ready for our Family Fitness challenge, we've been testing recipes as a family and for once the kids actually said "yes" when I asked if they wanted to be my kitchen helpers.  It's SO much more fun to make dinner as a team, rather than feeling like the galley slave while everyone else plays. 

We've been making cauliflower crust pizza for a while, with varying results on whether the kids actually eat it.  This time though, they fully participated in every step of the process and my son devoured almost half of the pizza!  What a huge win. 

Ingredients:
- 1 bag of cauliflower crumbles (I use Green Giant brand, from Target).  *note: you can make your own by chopping up a head of cauliflower and using a food processor.  I don't have one though, and the blender was a nightmare so this is way faster for me.
- 1/4C shredded parmesan
- 1/4C shredded mozzarella
- oregano
- pepper
- basil
- Italian seasoning
- garlic powder
- 1 egg

Directions:
- Put a pizza stone in your oven.  Pre-heat oven to 450F. 
- Empty bag of cauliflower crumbles into a steamable container.  My favorite is from Pampered Chef. 
- Add some water, and microwave for 4 minutes
- One the cauliflower is soft, remove from the microwave, strain, and spread it on a clean tea towel. 
- Let it cool for a few minutes so the next step isn't too hot.
- Once slightly cooled, wrap the cauliflower into a bundle in the tea towel.  Wrap the ends together, and squeeze all the water out of the cauliflower.  You'll be shocked at how much comes out.  Keep wringing the bundle until the water is out.
- Empty the cauliflower out of the towel into a large bowl.
- Add the two cheeses along with the seasoning.  I used probably 1/4tsp each, but you can use whatever amount you like.
- Add the egg
- Using a large spoon or your hands, mix it all together until it's turned into a dough-like consistency.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cutting board or cookie sheet.  Transfer the cauliflower dough onto the paper.
- Form the dough into a large, round shape.  It shouldn't be too think or too thick.  Slide the paper off the cutting board or cookie sheet onto the hot pizza stone.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Remove the dough and paper from the oven onto the cookie sheet or cutting board again.
- Add whatever sauce and toppings you want.  We use mozzarella and parmesan cheese plus reduced-fat pepperoni on our side. 
- Slide the paper and pizza back onto the stone to cook for another 5-7 minutes.  When the top is browned it will be done.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute to cool.  Cut and enjoy!
