IMG_1887

Ingredients
1 head cauliflower
4 eggs
1/2 Cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups + 4 cups shredded mozzarella
Dried oregano
Marinara sauce (for dipping)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425.

Prep 2 baking dishes with parchment paper.

Pulse cauliflower florets in food processor until it resembles rice. Place in microwaveable container & cover with lid. Microwave 10 minutes. Place in a large bowl with 4 eggs, 2 cups of mozzarella, spices of choice & mix together.

Separate in half & place each half onto prepared sheets into round for pizza crust or rectangle for breadsticks.

Bake crust for 25 mins.

If making as pizza crust, once golden, top with remaining ingredients & finish baking.

We discovered that this recipe needs a lot of seasonings or else it is quite bland! We tweaked the original a few times until we got it just right!

A few notes on the ingredients: we preferred shredded Parm instead of grated. We purchased the block of good quality Parm and did a larger shredding. The cans of inexpensive already grated cheese made it salty and the texture was off.

We also found that making the mix into a thin crust pizza thickness turned out perfect. Any thicker made it taste spongey!

Hope you enjoy!

The Wahl’s Protocol Step 1

2015/01/img_1535.png

When transitioning to the Wahl’s Protocol, this is the first step. I have to eliminate gluten, processed foods, eggs and dairy from my diet. The point isn’t to live forever without the eggs and dairy, but if once I try them again to see if I have a reaction to them. It’s an elimination allergy test. I also have to keep sugars to a minimum.

Now for the additions. I have to eat 9 cups of vegetables every day, broken down as 3 cups of greens, 3 cups sulfur-rich and 3 cups colorful. I also have to add 100% grass fed meat and wild caught or responsibly farmed fish several times per week.

I also have a large list of supplements that I’ve added to my daily routine. I’m B12 deficient and don’t absorb the vitamin without an injection. So I have to self inject B12 shots every few weeks.

Vitamin D- nightly
Coenzyme Q-10 200mg 1 nightly
Fish oil 1-3g Morning
Kelp 600mg x1 Morning
Algae 500mg x2 Morning
Matcha green tea leaves daily
B12 shots- every 3 weeks
