Delicious Disaster

As of lately, I have been reading a lot of food blogs and exploring new recipes.

Today I decided that it was time to find and try a healthier pizza crust recipe. I started the search on Pinterest and came across a recipe for cauliflower pizza crust that was gluten-free, egg-less, grain-free, right there on Tickling Palates page: Best Cauliflower Pizza Crust
THIS would be the one!

It seemed easy enough, and I gathered my ingredients (which I just so happened to have). Perfect!

As I got to work, I was excited. So excited that I rushed a bit, making a HUGE mess while ricing the cauliflower. I did not properly allow my riced cauliflower to dry out either.

While baking, the smells coming from my oven were making my mouth water. The pizza itself looked like a cookbook picture- it looked so good that my mushroom-hating son was standing over it with plate in hand.

Cutting it, I realized that it was still too moist and falling apart, but baking it any longer would have left my new found crust a burnt mess. So what's a girl to do? Scoop it up and plop it on a plate! (And eat it)

The flavors made my taste buds happy! I loved this recipe, and will try again to perfect my technique and patience! Oh, and next time, I'll remember to take a picture too!

Humble Beginnings

This is my very first, ever, blog entry. I have tossed the idea around for some time...so here I sit creating a blog while I am supposed to be studying Anatomy and Physiology.
I am a chronic student, a master procrastinator, and I absolutely love to cook (and eat!). I seem to make things harder than they have to be and take on too much at times...but cooking is my escape and allows me to enjoy myself and unwind without feeling guilty- after all, my family DOES have to eat!

I hope you will join me as I find reprieve (and make a mess) in the kitchen. I tend to experiment with different foods and ingredients, sometimes it turns out wonderful, and sometimes even tried and true family favorites-> disastrous.
