So tonight I wanted one of my favorite dishes, pizza!! Decided to try a new recipe out that calls for a paleo and gluten free crust using cauliflower. Some recipes call for a cup of cheese to hold together better, i decided to make my creamy cashew cheese substitute instead. Made a nutty delicious crust just have to make sure you cook it long enough to ensure adhesion or it will fall apart. I added spinach, dates, and goat cheese on mine- choose whatever flavors you like!
