After seeing some amazing results in my friends when they started the Ketogenic Diet I thought, I should try this out. I had hit a wall in my weight loss and toning, nothing seemed to be working. Seeing before and after shots of people I know in real life and not some paid advertisement I jump on the Keto bandwagon. Not before I did some research though. I mean, I NEED my half and half, and sugar. Thank goodness for stevia!
Next issue of course was creating recipes that my whole family would like and I wouldn't hate. Sometimes being on a diet means eating things you don't love. I knew if I couldn't come up with ways to modify my favorite foods this determination wouldn't last long. There is only so long I can eat stuff that taste blah. Pizza was my first challenge. We have a pizza movie night very Friday. There was no way, I would sit there eating sad salad while my kids chowed down on delicious homemade pizza. So I came up with this recipe, that is not only a Keto friendly pizza, but a kid friendly one too. My whole family loves this pizza and they don't even miss the crust!
Another reason to love this recipe: it's easy. I mean super easy. Brown the sausage, sauté veggies if you want, add cheese, and bake for 20 minutes. Done!
Keto Friendly Pizza is possible and it's delicious! Promise!!
Ingredients:
-
1 Can Diced Tomatoes
-
Package of Sausage
-
Pepperoni
-
Any Vegetables You Choose
-
Package of Shredded Cheese
-
Dried Oregano
-
Garlic Powder
Directions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350
-
Brown sausage in a skillet, drain when done.
-
While the sausage is cooking, sauté any veggies you picked out.
-
Layer a 13×9 dish with the sausage.
-
Top the sausage with diced tomatoes. I then sprinkle oregano and garlic powder on the diced tomatoes.
-
Add sautéd veggies, and cover with shredded cheese.
-
Add pepperoni on top of the cheese
-
Place in oven and heat through for 20-25 minutes.
Note: I did not use any veggies in this version because we didn't have any mushrooms. And I was not about to fight the crowds at Wegmans on a Friday night! I also use any cheese I happen to have at the house. So don't stress if you have triple cheddar and not pizza blend. Cheese is delicious no matter which package you use!
Do you have a favorite low carb/no carb recipe? I would love some more ideas!
