CJ offered to make me a pizza yesterday. At first I was a bit skeptical because she is one of those Paleo people. You know the kind; those people who go out digging in the dirt looking for caveman skulls and dinosaur bones. Oh, wait! I think that’s a paleontologist… She is a paleoist – when it comes to diet. She follows the likes of diet gurus Mark Sissom and Steve Cooksey and has a diet regimen I can only hope to aspire to one day. If you follow my blog at all you know that I cheat way too much to ever consider myself paleo or primal, but I do try to maintain low carb habits most of the time, unless I encounter one of my terrible triggers like stress, hunger, exhaustion, relaxation, sadness, or happiness to name a few. I can tolerate her paleo ways because most of the stuff cavemen ate was low-carb so it works for me.
Anyway, so she makes me this awesome pizza crust with coconut flour and eggs but says that the pizza can’t be called paleo because strict paleoists don’t do dairy. What? Are you kidding me? Cavemen didn’t eat cheese? That is amazing! I must say that I did see a guy that looked a lot like the Geico cave man drinking from a carton of milk the other day at the hospital… So I guess if you eat dairy you aren’t allowed to be called paleo, but you have to call yourself primal instead. So many rules! That’s why I can’t join their diet club…
Sidetracked again… Ok, back to this delicious pizza. She topped it with organic pizza sauce, extra large slices of gourmet pepperoni, Bob Evans Italian Sausage, diced green pepper, mushrooms, and olives. Then she added some Meijer taco cheese (with zero carbs!) just for me.
You will notice in the picture above the left side of the pizza has no cheese so that she can eat it and still remain paleo…
Who am I kidding! I ate the entire pizza except for the parts without cheese. This is the 5th or 6th low carb pizza crust recipe that I have tried of hers and I must say that this turned out the best by far. It tasted like a whole wheat pizza crust, and I would never have guessed it was made without wheat. Too bad cavemen couldn’t eat cheese, they had no idea what they were missing. Although I do have one question, where did those cavemen plug in their food processor to grind up the coconut into such a fine flower? hmmmm…
