Cauliflower Pizza

              I know so many people who hate cauliflower, but for me it is comfort food. I eat cauliflower so many ways and I try to add it to almost everything. Not because it is healthy, the taste of cauliflower if cooked properly is amazing for me, steamed, fried or baked.
So it is no surprise if I was dying to try the cauliflower pizza, yet was waiting until I find lactose free cheese to be able to enjoy the meal peacefully due to me sensitivity to lactose. 

             Today was the day, I had half big head of cauliflower steamed in the fridge and I had cheese in the store downstairs so I made the pizza for dinner.
To be completely honest, I very much enjoyed the pizza but not sure it can be compared to the regular pizza since they have totally different tastes and texture, but if you're craving pizza and don't want to ruin your diet with empty carbs I totally recommend this recipe for you since it is absolutely delicious and at the same time very nutritious.
