2 cup raw grated cauliflower (4 Greens)

1 egg, well beaten (1/3 Lean)*Or 1/4 cup egg whites

1 cup shredded reduced fat mozzarella (2/3 Lean) 

  1 teaspoon minced garlic (1 condiment)

Directions:

~Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
~Mix cauliflower, egg (1/4 cup egg substitute can be used), shredded mozzarella, and garlic together in a bowl until combined.
~Line a small baking sheet with parchment and lightly Pam sprayed.
~Divide into 2 portions then scoop each onto parchment about 1/4 -1/2 inch deep in the shape of a rectangle or circle, as thin as you can.
~Bake at 400 degrees F for 25 min or until starts to hold its shape. Lay a second sheet of parchment paper lined baking sheet over the crust to flip over to continue baking for 15 more minutes at 400 degrees F.

MARINARA For the CHEESY BREADSTICKS or Pizza :

[2 servings: 1 Green, 1/2 Condiment]

1/4 cup Rao's Marinara Sauce (1 Green)
1/2 cup Italian diced tomatoes (1 Greens)

1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning (1/2 Condiment)

1/2 teaspoon Garlic, minced (1/2 Condiment)

Pinch Salt or Pepper

~Puree ingredients a few times in a personal blender.
~Pour into a small sauce pan and simmer to reduce some liquid, if needed.

*Note: You can just use 1/2 cup total of the Rao's Sauce if you prefer to save a step.  OR if you don't have Rao's Sauce you can use 1 cup diced tomatoes (I prefer the Rotel brand with green chilies).

For PIZZA Option:

[Add 1/2 Lean for each crust]

Spread Marinara sauce over each crust evenly then add the 1/2 lean of your choosing.

For example: 3 ounce reduced-fat cheese on each crust for Cheese Pizza ....OR ....

2 ounce shredded chicken+1 ounce reduced-fat cheese....OR....

2 ounce Ground Turkey+1 ounce reduced-fat cheese

(OR *veggie sausage or Morning Star Meal starter crumbles for Vegetarian Friendly recipe ONLY if you can have *SOY*).

 For CAULIFLOWER CRUST SANDWICH

[2 Servings: 1 Lean, 3 Green, 1/2 Condiment, 1 Fat]

Make crust recipe then make smaller circles or squares.  (This batch made 8 small rounds so 4 rounds was a serving.) Bake as directed above.  Spread  with a serving of light mayonnaise or wedges Light Laughing Cow cheese (1 Fat) over crusts. Add 2 slices of reduced-fat cheese plus 2 ounces low-fat turkey (OR 1/3 serving of Meatless options) along with 1 serving of green like lettuce and tomato.
