Baked cauliflower - no carb

Hello there,

I was feeling a little bit more experimental with my food yesterday.  Lately, for some reason, I cannot stomach cauliflower anymore if its not made a little more interesting.  I have no idea why, I used to not have a problem with it.

I have never tried the cauliflower crust for pizza, so I guess I tried to copy that to use it for pizza base later.  It might really work if you top it with bacon and feta.

Ingredients: 
200g cooked Cauliflower
30g medium fat cheese - grated
1 egg

Pre-heat the oven to 200deg. Put everything in your food processor and blend well.  Pour the mixture in a silicon baking tray.  I baked it ... (  I forgot to time lol) I'd say 20-25 mintues.

Glutenfree bread



Hello there, 
This will be a quick one to share this delicious glutenfree bread recipe with you.  I made my first gluten free loaf yesterday and I must admit that I was very sceptical at first.  It did not look like it was going to rise. 
But as the dough started cooking in the oven, the smell that filled my kitchen told me everything was going to be okay. :) 
You  need:
250g Gluten free bread flour
1 teaspoon guar gum
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 cup of water
80ml coconut oil (melted)
1 Tablespoon xylitol 
2 eggs
Pinch of salt
Optional:  2 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisin,  1 tablespoon crushed nuts 
Mix everything and scoop mixture in a breadpan. 
Bake for 60 minutes at 180
These types of bread tend to go stale quite fast, so I cut mine in advance and put it in the freezer to take it out as I need.

20g soaked and chopped almonds ( I love soaked almonds) 
5g chia seeds

150ml water
