Ingredients
4 cups cooked spaghetti squash (2 small) 1 cup mozzarella (partly skim/shredded) 1 egg 2 egg whites 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp oregano, dried 1 tsp parsley, dried salt & pepper Toppings 1 cup mushrooms, chopped 1/4 onion, diced 1/4 cup pizza sauce 1 cup fresh spinach, torn1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded) Directions Preheat oven to 400. Line pizza pan with parchment paper (DO NOT skip the parchment paper!!). Set aside. Press your spaghetti squash in a strainer to get out any excess moisture (or use cheesecloth). In a large bowl, combine spaghetti squash, mozza cheese, egg & whites, garlic, and spices. Mix together until well combined. Let sit for a few minutes - if you notice a lot of liquid gathering in the bottom of the bowl then drain it off. Press the squash mixture evenly into the prepared pizza pan. Bake at 400 for 12 - 15 minutes, until crust appears dry. While the crust is baking - saute the mushrooms and onion in a fry pan until mushrooms are soft and onions are translucent. Remove from heat. Remove pizza crust from oven. Spread the pizza sauce over the crust. Spread your onion and mushrooms and spinach over the sauce. Top with the Parmesan cheese. Return to 400 degree oven and bake another 10 - 15 minutes or so - until cheese is bubbly and edges of crust are browned. You can place under the broiler for a minute or two if you really want to brown things up. Let sit for about 5 minutes before cutting. You can use the parchment paper to slide it off the pan to make it easier to cut. (Just run a butter knife around the edge to loosen from the sides of the pan) Dig in!!This veggie crust is a little higher in calories than the cauliflower and the spinach version BUT is still way less than "regular" pizza. It does have more protein than the other versions and is still less carbs than a "regular" pizza. Oh, yeah, I should probably mention you won't be able to pick this up to eat it...maybe when it is cold but definitely not when it is hot. Break out the forks people!! I know I tend to ramble on when I like a new dish but I can't help it. This is just so tasty...and healthy...and pizza-y....and addicting! Try it...you'll see why I can't shut up about it. :) ![]() 2 T butter 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 cups fresh chopped spinach 2 cups fresh mushrooms, diced 1 (6 ounce) package feta, crumbled 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese 2 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crusts 1 pkg. diced ham 8 eggs, beaten Season with pinch of oregano, basil, paprika Directions 1.

Been there, done that. But roasting a whole head of cauliflower? Now we’ve got your attention. This recipe has you slathering cauliflower in a spicy yogurt marinade and roasting it at a high temperature. The result is an amazingly delicious dish that’s as dramatic in presentation as it is easy in preparation. Serve it with a big green salad (we suggest lime juice and olive oil for the dressing) for an easy weeknight supper or your next “the vegetarians are coming to dinner” party. Spicy Whole Roasted Cauliflower A PureWow Original Recipe
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I'll use olive) 1 head cauliflower 1½ cups plain Greek yogurt 1 lime, zested and juiced 2 tablespoons chile powder 1 tablespoon cumin 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon curry powder 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon black pepper Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a small baking sheet with vegetable oil. Set aside. 2. Trim the base of the cauliflower to remove any green leaves and the woody stem. 3. In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the lime zest and juice, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper. 4. Dunk the cauliflower into the bowl and use a brush or your hands to smear the marinade evenly over its surface. (Excess marinade can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days and used with meat, fish or other veggies.) 5. Place the cauliflower on the prepared baking sheet and roast until the surface is dry and lightly browned, 30 to 40 minutes. The marinade will make a crust on the surface of the cauliflower. 6. Let the cauliflower cool for 10 minutes before cutting it into wedges and serving alongside a big green salad. Finishing Touches... It's the details that count! Try these tips

Enjoy! ![]() The Oxford English Dictionary traces the word to the middle of the 18th century when, in 1758, Hannah Glasse described how "to make Paco-Lilla, or India Pickle" The more familiar form of the word appears a decade later in a book for housekeepers in a section on how "to make Indian pickle, or Piccalillo". The spelling "piccalilli" can be seen in an advertisement in a 1799 edition of The Times. In the Northeastern United States, commercial piccalillis are based on diced sweet peppers, either red or green. This style is somewhat similar to sweet pepper relish, with the piccalilli being distinguished by having a darker red or green color and like British piccalilli, the chunks are larger and it is tangier and slightly less sweeter. It is a popular topping on such foods as hamburgers and hot dogs. Traditional, British-style yellow piccalilli is also available. In the Midwestern United States, commercial piccalillis are based on finely chopped gherkins; bright green and on the sweet side, they are often used as a condiment for Chicago-style hot dogs. This style is sometimes called "neon relish". This recipe is originally from a 1890's cookbook. I have updated the recipe for a more modern prepping process while keeping the same great old-fashioned flavor! Picca-lilli 1/2 bushel green tomatoes, chopped (drain & discard juice) 2 heads of cabbage, chopped 2 dz large cucumbers, chopped (drain & discard juice) 2 dz large green peppers, shredded 2 dz large onions, chopped Sprinkle 1pt salt over and through this mixture & let stand all night. In the morning drain in colander. Put in large pan & mix with it, 1/4 lb black mustard seed 1/4 lb white mustard seed 1 oz celery seed 2 cups brown sugar 1 gal cider vinegar 1 Tb cinnamon 1 Tb allspice (1/2 lb of mustard added in 5 minutes before taking off the stove) Cook 1 1/2 hours after it begins to boil. Will keep for 2 weeks covered in fridge. You may want to 'halve' this recipe if using for one family. If using for the whole department or organization, though, make the original amount because the crew will want to add it on everything from hotdogs, burgers, salmon, steak, even cheese and crackers for an ultimate dip! |
