 Today i am going to talk more about my journey with keto and losing weight., My journey started when i was standing in my local walmart, getting ready to get some groceries with my then fiances, now he is my husband and i got a call from my doctors office following an appointment. He talked to me about my blood test results and basically, i was just down the road from a heart attack and diabetes, so i  started to tear up in the middle of the store.. I told my husband that i was tired of tiring to lose weight and it not working, and believe me when i say that i tried everything. He told me that he would talk to our nephew, who had done the keto diet, so right there in the store, we picked up some products that were low carb and low sugar and i started my keto journey.

Image
I have been seeing others making pizza using cauliflower so i thought i would give it a go SO here we go I am using this package of cauliflower mash that you can find in the product section of walmart. It does have pieces of cauliflower and a package of cheese, bacon and chive spice mix. I am also gonna use some pepperoni and some mozzarella cheese. I am spraying my pizza pan with some coconut oil Then i pour the cauliflower into a microwave safe bowl and heat until soft. For this package i did 7 minutes. Then i mash it up and heat my oven to 375 i mix in the cheese, bacon and chive spice mix and spread it on the pizza pan and stick it in the oven to brown Then we add some cheese over the top and top with some pepperoni and stick it back into the oven until the cheese is melted Here is what it looks like out of the oven. This is so good. I do not have a time limit as far as how long to leave it in. Let me know if you make this.
