Cauliflower Crust

This alternative to pizza crust pairs so well with your usual toppings like pepperoni, cheese, bacon, mushrooms, and even pineapple. It tastes so amazing that you may forget that it’s made from cauliflower.

Portobello Mushrooms

Portobello mushrooms make a great burger substitute, but they also work well for a substitute for the bun. Just grill them and use them instead of a bun or for an open-faced sandwich with avocado, tomato, and lettuce.
