After you roll it out remove the top piece of parchment paper
Use a scissors to cut off the excess parchment paper and slide it onto a pizza pan.

Bake at 400* for 10 minutes
It will not be fully baked at this point. It will start to get golden brown around the edges.
Remove from the oven.
Top with 1 cup of Cheese (Or more if you wish)
Return back to the oven and continue baking for about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.

Slide the Flatbread off the parchment paper onto the pizza pan or cutting board. Using a pizza slicer slice into desired size pieces.

How to make Zoodles ~ Low Carb and Gluten Free Pasta replacement


I recently bought a Spiralizer and have had so much fun making Zoodles. They are a great Low Carb and Gluten Free replacement for Pasta. Follow the Manufacters direction to make the Zoodles. Towel dry the Zoodles. Heat up a large Skillet and add some EVOO. Add the Zoodles and toss around for about 3 minutes. Adding any spices or herbs to accompany your dinner. Do not over cook the Zoodles otherwise they will get mushy. 

I served my Zoodles with a Homemade Sauce and Sausages.

How to make Cauliflower Rice ~ Low Carb Recipe


Cauliflower rice is a great low carb replacement for regular rice.

Cauliflower Rice

1 Head of Cauliflower (more or less depending on how much you need)
Remove the leaves and any blemishes. Wash and dry.
Cut the Cauliflower in half, remove the core
Cut into florets.

Place the bottom blade into a food processor
Fill about 1/3 with the Cauliflower
Do not over crowd
Pulse on and off until the Cauliflower resembles rice
If you over process it will turn to a puree
Remove each batch to a pan and continue with the rest of the Cauliflower

You can freeze the Cauliflower Rice at this point. Place into a ziplock bag removing the air.
Defrost the rice before using.

To cook the Cauliflower Rice
I sauteed it in a large Skillet
Melt about 2 TBL Butter or any Oil of your choice
Add the Cauliflower Rice
Season with: Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder to taste
Add  Parsley for color.

Cook the Cauliflower for about 8 minutes, turning it every 30 seconds or so until desired consistency.
You want the Cauliflower Rice to have a bit of a bite to it. If it is sticking to your pan add a little bit of water.

Use this Cauliflower rice as a Low Carb replacement for white rice. This also makes a wonderful Fried Rice.

ENJOY!
