My Doctor told me I had to cut back on carbs. That itself is a depressing thing to be told, but the woman is a bit bigger than me so I thought perhaps I should look into it. One of my good sons has converted to a carb-less diet, which caused him to loose an ungodly amount of weight. Well, not really godless, but a lot non-the-less. So, it made sense to me to see if I can reduce my carb intake also.
As I start to look for ways to cut back, I find the Keto diet I heard about over the years may just be what I need to follow. At our favorite supermarket (H.E.B.), I see a delightful array of low carb breads. I found bagels with 1 to 7 carbs per serving, which is a wonderful thing for this old man to find.
Now, I love pizza. Simple but powerful statement. Once when I was at my son’s house for a birthday celebration, they served pizza. So I asked my beautiful daughter-in-law about my son not eating pizza, and she explained the pizza was cauliflower instead of dough; and I must add was delicious.
So, at our favorite supermarket, I find many different cauliflower pizzas in the freezer section. Grabbing several of them, I take them home and proceed to cook one of them.
I added a good amount of peperoni slices to it, and sprinkled a heavy amount of cheeses. Both cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Then dropped it on the pizza stone which was a toasty 425 degrees.
After I slipped the pizza onto the stone, I realized I forgot to add the finely chopped spicy peppers on the pizza, so I quickly opened the oven and added them. After a short 10 minutes, I slipped the pizza out onto a plate and we sat down to gobble it all down. In the process of adding the spicy peppers, they tended to stay in a clump which happened to be one of the slices my lovely wife picked to consume. She was so happy, I saw tears in her eyes.
The pizzas are relatively small, but perfect for just two people who are trying to cut back on carbs. A truly delicious experience for both of us.

I was once on a diet with a recipe where I had to make cauliflower mashed potatoes with no potatoes. I ate it, but never made it again. :0 Good luck with all your cauliflower stuff.

Cauliflower crust is great until you happen to sample a good old fashioned flour crust. Then you realize what you’re missing.

You are correct. My doc says cut back on carbs, but damn! Good old fashioned flour crust has to be delicious.
