Okay, hold on.
You're on the right site.
Don't go anywhere.
I went Low Carb on you today. I know you're all scratching your heads thinking you hit the wrong button. But it's me!
Really it is.
I can do healthy.
Really I can!
See! Not only Low Carb but so full of flavour it will blow your mind. My friend Mellissa from I Breathe... I'm Hungry... asked me to guest post for her. Not only guest post but I have the distinct honour of being her first guest post. I could not be more thrilled and touched that Mellissa trusted me to do this for her. I am not typically known for healthy or low carb food. I'm sort of the anti low carb blog. But I love a challenge and was really intrigued to see if I could do this. It's really opened my eyes to how difficult it is to develop great recipes for special diets. I give people credit who follow a low carb lifestyle for either health or weight reasons. It's so much harder to come up with recipes without that go to sugar ingredient.
I met Mellz, I love to call her that just to drive her mad, through food blogging. I really cannot remember how we connected initially. We were reading each other's blogs and I think we were both drawn to each other's sense of humour. I sent Mellz an email and she won my heart with her sincere personality and snarky wit. I love a gal who can out-snark me. Every email I get from her has me rolling on the floor in fits in laughter. She is so sharp and so funny. She pulls off one-liners with ease. And the chick can cook. And bake. Like mad skillz people. This woman is going to end up on tv one day, mark my words. Of course I'll want a cut of the action, cuz you know, that's what besties do when one of them hits the big time. And they shoe shop. Which I'm totally down for just so you know Mellz. Manolo's here we come!
So head on over to my bestie's blog I Breathe... I'm Hungry... for the recipe to my Roasted Cauliflower Pizza with Baby Arugula and Roasted Garlic. It sounds really complicated but it's not. It is however delish. Even if you are not following a low carb diet this pizza will impress you. It's got such a rich, sweet taste to it. The roasted cauliflower just takes the crust to the next level. And the roasted garlic on top is pure heaven. I sure hope you all like this recipe. I wanted to do Mellz proud and show I can do more than just sugar laden, deep-fried food. I sincerely hope I've met the challenge today. Thanks to Mellz for her continued friendship and making me push my boundaries to explore something outside the norm. I loves ya sistah!
Toodles and smoochies! xx
Kate
Holy cow that looks good!! I've never had cauliflower on a pizza before but now I need to try it. I'll be heading right over to check out the post. Yum!
Kim Bee
It is really good. You actually use the cauliflower as the crust. Totally weird I know but so yummy.
Karen
As a LCer I've seen lots of recipes for cauliflower pizza crust, but that was just a good idea to use roasted cauliflower! Plus I'm loving roasted cauliflower right now so this is perfect. Thanks for sharing!
Kim Bee
Thank you so much. I wanted to give it an extra kick with a touch of sweetness to it. Roasting it just elevates the taste. I swear it tastes like candy. So glad you stopped by.
Amanda at the red table
I've done the cauliflower pizza crust before (not with roasted cauli tho), and it's good but definitely doesn't taste like regular crust. Pairing it with roasted garlic (I looooooove roasted garlic) sounds like a great combo. Yum!
Kim Bee
It is not the same but such a good alternative to anyone low carb or gluten free. Pizza is something many people complain about giving up. So I knew I had to come up with something with a bit of oomph to it. I love roasted everything. It just makes the flavour pop.
Laura
It looks so delish! And I can't wait to head over there!
Kim Bee
Thank you so much.
Beth Michelle
OMG Im loving this!!! I wish I was having this for dinner tonight. Going to check out the recipe now, cannot wait to try it!!
Katie {Epicurean Mom}
Whoa!!!! This sounds incredible Kim! And your pictures are wonderful! Great recipe! 🙂
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Katie. I really had fun stepping outside my normal fare today. This is something I could eat every week.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much. It is a great way for low carb folks to still get pizza. Would be really good with prosciutto as well.
Dara
Love arugula, love pizza and LOOOOOVE roasted garlic. Kim, I think this one is a winner.
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Dara. I really loved this one. You know me and sweet, so I was determined to find a way to make it slightly sweet without sugar.
kitchenriffs
Roasted cauliflower (and garlic) is great on anything! Heading over to read the guest post now . . .
Kim Bee
Thanks. I could eat roasted veggies every day and never get tired of them.
Juliana
So interesting...cauliflower pizza, but from the list of ingredients...arugula and roasted garlic, must taste delicious Kim!
Thanks for the link and hope you have a wonderful week ahead 🙂
Kim Bee
Thanks so much Juliana. It's such an interesting way to do it. I really wanted to find a way to make pizza for people who can't do gluten and then make it low carb as well. I am a sweets gal so this seemed the way to add the sweet without actually adding sugar.
I'm so glad you came by. Have a wonderful week too.
Lauren @ Part Time House Wife
What a beautiful looking pizza!
Kim Bee
Thanks Lauren. It was really good.

Lol, it is good stuff. I love me some pizza.
Tina@flourtrader
Kim you did step outside of the box on this one-yum! Popping over there now for the details...
Kim Bee
Thanks Tina. I wasn't sure I had it in me but I managed to make it happen. Lol.
Emily @ Life on Food
Those garlic pieces look oh so good. I am drooling. Did you have a turtle brownie for dessert?
Kim Bee
Thanks. Oh man, I made extra roasted garlic when I did it. I could just gnaw on roasted garlic all day long. But of course.
Ramona
I love this cauliflower pizza so much!! Now I know what to eat before I have my oreo ice cream. 🙂
Kim Bee
Bah, see I'm thinking ahead. Always looking out for you!
Eliot
I can't get enough of roasted cauliflower! This is genius!
Kim Bee
Thank you so much. I am a huge fan of roasted garlic. Just takes the pizza to the next level.
Happy When Not Hungry
I've never had cauliflower on pizza before, but this looks awesome!
Kim Bee
Thanks. I think the cauliflower makes a great pizza crust. I love it with wild rice too. Just something a little different from the usual.
DB-The Foodie Stuntman
Healthy food? Don't let it happen again! LOL!
Kim Bee
Lol, I had to sneak one in there. Every now and again I get a hankering for something good for me. Not often but it happens once in awhile. I promise I'll make up for it.
Baker Street
I've never tried cauliflower on pizza before but it does sound like a brilliant idea.
Kim Bee
It's a cool way to make the crust if you're low carb-ing or GF. Just a fun twist to pizza.
Jessica | Oh Cake
Wait, where are the Rolos? 😉 I better go over and check this out. Maybe they're under the cheese?
Kim Bee
Lol, I'll have to make a Rolo Pizza just to make up for this I suppose.
Suzi
Oh boy, low carb and all. This does sound delicious and the arugala and roasted garlic there on the top is calling my name. Going to check out the recipe.
Kim Bee
It was really good. I love the taste of roasted cauliflower so I figured it would work well with pizza.
Lori Lynn
Been seeing this cauliflower crust o blogs for a month or so now, I just need to make it! Your version sounds absolutely terrific.
Going to visit Mellz for the recipe.

Kim Bee
It's such a cool idea. Try roasting the cauliflower first. I swear it makes all the difference. Mellz is one cool chick. You'll love her.
