Jamie, over on Your Lighter Side<\/a> posted a link to a low carb pizza crust<\/a> ages ago which I had been meaning to try but never got around to it. It seemed to labour intensive for the amount of energy I have at the moment (zilch!!) so I kept putting it off. When I got home from work today I did the unthinkable…I had me a lil lay down!!! I think I may have even closed my eyes!<\/p>\n

Rejuvenated, tonight had to be the night to finally make that pizza! I had the energy and the ingredients and besides, I was craving pizza! Now normally one would make this with meat but, like I said, _ I _ was craving pizza, so that means no meat was going to be on this culinary delight. I used Yves Ground Chicken in place of the meat and I had a gazillion different cheeses hanging out in the fridge so I pulled out Oscar Senior and got to work shredding cheeses: Cheddar, Monterey Jack and Mozzarella. I dumped the cheeses into a bowl and loaded the “chicken” into the processor, ground it up a bit, added the cheese and mixed the two together; I then pressed the mixture into a lightly oiled 9″springform pan, popped it into the oven for 18 – 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

After baking for 18 – 20 mins, I pulled the crust out of the oven and let it cool while I was making a salad.
\nNext I spread about 2 ounces of Tomato Paste on the cooled crust, sprinkled generously with Italian Seasoning and a bit of garlic powder.
\nThen came the toppings:
\nMushrooms, sliced
\nTomatoes, diced
\nGreen Pepper, diced
\nSpinach
\nYves Ham Slices, cut into strips
\nLotsa mozza!
\nSome more Italian Seasoning<\/p>\n

Put it into the 375F oven for 18 minutes, turned the heat up to 425F and continued baking for another 8 minutes.
\nPulled it out of the oven, let it set for about 10 minutes while I finished cleaning up all my prep dishes.
\nServed it up with a salad.<\/p>\n
