Oh Pizza how I love you!! Pizza is one of my favorite things to eat but I thought I had to give it up when I went gluten free... Think again!! Unlike the regular carb overload then crash, stuff your face then feel disgusting, sit on my thighs for a month, pizza... this recipe is made with almond meal, guilt free, still feeling amazing, full of energy, no slowing down, and taste fantastic!! No need to give this goodness up!!

2 cups almond meal

2 eggs

3 TBS olive oil

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp fresh rosemary chopped

toppings - whatever your heart desires

My favorite was organic marinara sauce, mozzarella, Italian sausage, and olives.

preheat 350 / 12 inch pizza

~ mix all crust ingredients together until it becomes thick

~ grease cookie sheet or pizza pan with olive oil 

~ with your hands form a ball with dough. place in the middle of pizza pan and then begin to push the dough down into a 12 inch circle. (as this as possible).

1 red pepper (chopped)






Servings 4

~ add onion and cook for another 5 min or until done
