Happy Wednesday! I’m interrupting your regular day-of-eating routine with something more exciting than my half-eaten bananas and salmon patties.
I’m partnering with The Blooming Oven to share game-day inspired recipes just in time for the big game. No matter which team you cheer for, you can always root for team FOOD.
People often ask how I come up with my recipes. Mostly because they’re a little unusual — the polite term is “unique,” and the PC term is “weird.” I take it as a compliment. When I can’t decide between two foods, I combine them. Exhibit A: Nacho Pizza.
What’s more perfect for game day than nachos and pizza? Why choose one when you can eat both with one hand and avoid a melted-cheese catastrophe in your lap? Call me strange, but I prefer to cheer on football and critique commercials with clean hands.
Shout out to Mr. Man-friend for being my hand model. 🙂
I’ve tried plenty of cauliflower crusts. Most have been soggy, overloaded with cheese, or both. That’s why I fell in love with the Cauli-Crust from The Blooming Oven the first time I tried it. It passed my personal crust test:
- Crispy, not soggy.
- No added cheese in the crust.
- Sturdy enough to pick up by hand — no fork and knife required.
- Pre-made and convenient.
- Tastes great.
Bonus: it’s boyfriend-approved, which is always a win. Over the next few days I’ll share more ways I’ve dressed up this paleo- and gluten-free-friendly crust for game-day spreads. For now: Nacho pizza, you’re up!
