         For all of us who have gone gluten-free and tried to go out with a bunch of friends have gone through the trials and tribulations of trying to figure where and what to eat. Having steaks and seafood all the time can get expensive, and having Mexican and Asian food can also get boring as your trash bins fill up with containers of Chinese to-go boxes. So then what, Pizza joint? Can't have the gluten-laden crusts.
   
  So what about making your own pizzas?
 
Hey there's an idea: Get your friends, yes even the vegan ones, together at someones house, gather up some ingredients and have fun making your own pizzas!


Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Gluten-free)

1 small or medium head of cauliflower or two cups of cauliflower rice (stems and leaves removed)
1/3 cup of goats milk cheese or chevre
1/3 mozzarella
1/3 romano or asiago cheese
1 egg
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried italian oregano
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1 pinch of sea salt
Pizza topping of choice (pepperoni, sausage, chopped onions, cheese, chicken, the sky's the limit, etc)


To Make Cauliflower Rice:
To make cauliflower rice, grate cauliflower with a cheese grater or pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until it is a grainy texture but not pureed. Boil cauliflower in a pot with a small amount of water, about 1 inch of water, for about 5 minutes until soft. Drain cauliflower into a sieve or collander lined with a tea towel in the sink. Allow to cool a few minutes before handling. Wrap up cauliflower in the tea towel into a ball and twist the top of the cloth to squeeze all the moisture out of the cauliflower.
