Another Try at Pizza

In our quest for better health, and with the promise that extra weight would just, you know, fall off suddenly, we have embraced the Wheat Belly lifestyle.  Also, it's a great way to save money.  No donuts, no bagels, no way to eat out much,
Well, last week AJ made the wheat belly pizza, which was pretty tasty, but not exactly pizza.  Amanda almost cried.  There was a bunch of mushy cauliflower under the pizza toppings.  Kind of like expecting pizza and getting ...I don't even know how to describe it.  It's just that we had gotten used to such wonderful pizza.  Sigh.
So  tonight, I stopped at Barnes and Noble and bought the Wheat Belly Cookbook, which was attractive and full of really wonderful sounding recipes, two for pizza crust.  We chose the one with yeast, for that "yeasty flavor that some miss." AJ stirred it up, and put it to rise, but as far as we could tell, there was no rising.  He made a double batch out of habit, but we all only at a piece, or a little more.  It was tasty, but like everything else, super nutty.  And very rich.  The crust was like a big nutty cookie.  Trying to avoid the junky carbs, but we may have to break down and go for a pizza crust that is more like, well, pizza crust. And doesn't make me feel like I just ate a big load of nuts.
At least this time Amanda didn't cry.
