Cauliflower for Pizza Crust-What!

Cauliflower Cheesy Bread

Last night, my hubby got adventurous and decided to try a cauliflower pizza crust recipe. I was a little skeptical; how could cauliflower possibly be transformed into pizza crust??  Well, it worked, tasted delicious and we made cheesy bread tonight! This is the epitome of guilt free pizza!
