Made the cauliflower crust pizza. it came out great. leftover cauliflower made the breadsticks. I made a full size pizza. The middle was a bit mushy. Is that how it should be? was afraid to cook it too long. will just have to learn how to tweak it a bit.

luv-- the center tends to be a little bit more complicated to cook thoroughly, since there's the probability that, as with standard dough, people tend to plop all the dough in the center and press outwards, leading to thin edges and slightly thicker centers. It will set up, however, especially as the cheese has time to cool and set.

I didn't know how long to wait between the initial cook of the dough and the broiler with the toppings. Either way it was good! Thank you for the great recipe. I have told many already about your site.

I made the Bourson Chicken recipe that's floated around the low carb world for years now, BOURSIN CHICKEN - Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes, except I deboned and butterflied chicken thighs instead of the called for skinless boneless chicken breasts.
I left the skin in tact, browned them skin side down in a little butter and extra virgin olive oil turned them over, added a little more butter, 4oz of dry white wine and 1 chicken bullion cube to make a sauce and threw them in the oven at 375 for 25 minutes. FANTASTIC!!! The Bourson oozed out a little during the cooking and made the sauce thicken so nicely. Honestly, one of the best dishes I've ever made and I am the ultimate foodie.
I recommend wilting down fresh baby spinach and chopping and draining that over frozen spinach. I also tied by thighs with twine (kinky, i know) so most of the cheese mixture stays in. The skin adds a ton of flavor (so keep it on), but even with deep browning and no basting, it turns soft during cooking. Maybe next time I will throw them under the broiler to crisp the skin back up at the end... hmm

Stood them upside down on a cookie sheet. Layed 3 cut strips over the backside of the shell slightly over lapping them

And baked in the oven at 375 until they were slightly brown. Took them out and let them cool to harden.

I saved those 4 shells in an airtight bag until I find an alternate way to make them

Do a search for "Chicago Metallic Baked Taco Rack" online.

I made this salad in a wee cup made from cooked ham.

[thinisin]

Love the bacon taco!!

[Skinnurse]

Eeek luna thank you

[Jonika]

cleo, that's a great idea! I am going to make that tonight! I have prosciutto.

[HeatherBB]

Wow! Thanks to everyone for posting your beautiful meals and great ideas! I love looking at this thread and I am learning so much from all of you. I will start posting photos of my food soon. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!

i'm making the ground beef pizza crust tonight (i think) i need some advice on how to cook it. Did you crumble and cook the ground beef first then put it in a casserole dish to then add the toppings and bake?? Andy suggestions would be appreciated. Ohhhh, i can already taste it.

If you have the time and are doing it in a casserole dish, just press it in raw and bake it through, then add the toppings and bake again. It will form more of a "Crust" this way too- think thin meatloaf.

Taco Cabana fajita tacos minus the tortilla. SO yummy! I want to buy a bunch and take it home!!!

I cook mine first and then add toppings. Be aware that the meat will shrink down by quite a bit so spread it as thin as possible. I use a rimmed pan. Look up 'meatza' for specific instructions.

[CindyCRNA]

Oh, love that white, scalloped plate, Thinisin!!

[cleochatra]

Everything looks so wonderful. When people talk about how difficult and austere induction is, it's like really? REALLY?! What is boring about this food? Nothing. Sure, it's different, but different doesn't make it wrong; it makes it right.

[asdf1234]

yes! get a big enough pan to spread the meat very thin- mine was too thick and although it was still good, it just tasted like a pizza burger! or maybe i used too much meat hmmm...

[thinisin]

Thanks! It's Simply Shabby Chic from Target

[drdrew]

i am going to combine my meatza with the pizza dip recipe, make it in a pie pan and brown the ground beef then stir it in with 4-8oz of cream cheese as my base....but i am crazy like that....

[cleochatra]

The cream cheese base is a good idea with hamburger because hamburger--even lean--can be fatty and will need something to offset that. I did make a beef pizza crust once, but the grease coagulation made for a slimier crust that was unappetizing to touch and look at.

[luvleliz]

i would think bake then drain grease and top. but i kinda like the mixing of sour cream or cream cheese....like stroganoff....

My very lame attempt at food porn. I am not a photographer, obviously, but these are my two latest yummies that I've made and remembered to photograph. Enjoy!

This is my first attempt at Cleo's deep dish pizza crust, topped with mozzarella, sausage, and broccoli. It was ahhhh-mazing but I need to figure out how to get the crust crispier.


This is silly but I was craving a sandwich so badly. It's an oopsie roll with turkey, mayo, avocado, and cheese. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm.

[drdrew]

one of these days i am going to make an oopsie roll....lol

[melisa82]

I've made this crust several times, and I can never get the crust crispy. I hope someone out there can give us an answer. I'd love to know
