The Recipe Box

‘GAPS-Legal’ (and no carb) Pizza Crust

picture from accidentalmommies.com

 

Thank you, thank you to one of our readers who found this recipe on this blog and sent us the link!  It is *so* yummy!  You usually have to use a fork to eat it, but we’ve never heard anyone complain!!!

p.s. Just so you know, if you are also on GAPS, cream cheese isn’t technically on the ‘Full GAPS’ list, but we’ve went ahead and had it with our pizza.

 

1 pkg. cream cheese

2 eggs

freshly ground black pepper

garlic powder

1/4 c. parmesan cheese

 

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Butter a 9×13 baking dish
• Blend cream cheese and eggs and season with pepper & garlic powder
• Add parmesan cheese and stir until combined
• Pour into buttered baking dish
• Bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown
• Let crust cool for 10 minutes before adding toppings

After crust is cooked, raise oven to 400°F.  Top with pizza sauce (see below) and all your favorite toppings before popping it back into the oven for about 8 minutes or until your toppings are nice and hot (and cheese is melted if you have cheese on top!)

Some of our favorite toppings are:

• sausage
• bacon
• hamburger
• tomatoes
• green peppers
• onions
• cheese (sometimes)

 

Pizza Sauce

32 oz. tomato sauce

2 t. oregano

2 t. basil

1/2  c. chopped onion or 2 T. onion flakes

2 T. honey (opt.)

2 T. apple cider vinegar

2 t. olive oil

Mix all together.  Can heat up if desired, but not necessary.

a big plum

Aug. 15, 2007

Earlier in the afternoon, Charissa ate a plum with Leah and Bekah. Then later that night she saw a watermelon in the pantry that was rounder and darker than the ones we usually get.

“Whoa!” she exclaimed, “is that a big plum or what?!!”
