Trim Healthy Mama Cheesy Bread Sticks or Pizza Crust Review - Pizza Crust Review

Good morning! Happy start of a new week to you! I hope you had a great weekend! We were gone four days this last week and had company this weekend! It was fun.

The Salesman is a fan of the meat lovers pizza at one particular pizza establishment here in town. In my pre-Trim Healthy Mama days, I always preferred a place with fresh toppings. We have both been known to be bread lovers, for sure. Since The Salesman had a heart attack last month, I am focusing on making foods that are healthy for him, and are appealing alternatives to replace what he had been eating. This time, I decided to try the pizza crust option, and top it to make it a Salesman Healthy Meat Lovers Pizza. Just so you know, one meat lovers pizza box has been to our home since the heart attack. I don’t want any more pizza boxes here. Way to much sodium in one box!

You may remember that I have reviewed this recipe before from the bread sticks side, so I won’t rehash the whole post Cheesy Bread Sticks. Here are the details I shared, and I think are important to post again with the Pizza Crust version:

“This week I tried a recipe from the new Trim Healthy Table cookbook in the Breads, Wraps, Biscuits and Loaves chapter. The recipe for Cheesy Bread Sticks or Pizza Crust is on page 252 and is categorized as an S (satisfying) meal. It is a NSI – No Special Ingredients recipe.

I have made other gluten free bread sticks and pizza crust. This one was good. Hands down, I believe it is the quickest prep one that I’ve ever done. Most GF crusts call for cauliflower and this one does; but it gives the option to use frozen cauliflower – what a convenient form, right? Well, it is actually quite amazing at how you use the frozen vegetable in the recipe and that it turned out good.

I made the recipe as bread sticks and served it with sugar free sauce. The Salesman was not really thrilled with them. I have several more to still in the refrigerator. I don’t think I am going to make these again unless I am in a big hurry. But who wants to sacrifice taste for convenience? Not me.

They do look delicious though!”

Making the recipe as a pizza crust verses the bread sticks, gets a thumbs up from both of us!

I used lean ground grass-fed beef, chicken sausage, turkey pepperoni, green peppers and cheese for the toppings. All the toppings were placed atop a sugar free sauce purchased at Aldi.

The fact that I could use frozen cauliflower was a big plus once again. It is such a time saver for me. This recipe made two large baking sheets of pizza. We ate at least four meals from this recipe. Audra tried some when she was home. I served it with a large salad and pizza dip, which is also pictured, with fresh cucumbers, cauliflower, celery, etc.

Enjoy!
