cauliflower crust pizza

Can you tell the difference- which is the cauliflower crust and which is the regular crust? My friend Heather Henderson, took these pictures after she made these.... my son's guess was the top picture was regular crust.... take a look and see what you think.

The top crust is actually cauliflower

she got the recipe from the website:

results of taste is that no one could taste the difference between the 2 crusts, same toppings, same everything except the crust!

Summer time desserts... it's starting to get closer, we can see grass!

I saw these on facebook and thought these might be good for summer holidays, the first one, a weight watchers member posted a comment too, so i'm guessing they are weight watcher point friendly, i don't know if they actually make 24 cupcakes in the first one, but all you use for the first is the cake mix, cool whip and a can of pop, then the weight watchers member posted alternate recipes. I thought it looked like good alternatives, and if it makes 24 cupcakes, i'm guessing 3 points maybe 4 tops.... but then i don't have a cake mix, and a can of pop and cool whip in front of me that i would use! the 2nd one no recipe posted, but i have an idea of what could be low in point that could make it look similar to that!


Creamsicle Cupcakes 3 ingredients White Cake Mix, Can of Orange Soda, and Frost with Cool Whip

Weight watcher recipe. also good...chocolate cake mix and a can of coke or can of root beer. Only. No eggs. No nothing. Besides the can of pop and dry boxed mix. Oh...and spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin...is also yummy
Angel food cake- made from scratch... or take the easy way out if you don't have time and buy the pre-made in stores.... cool whip is lower in point, or you could use icing, or do a mixture 1/2 and half! and strawberries... yummy summertime dessert!

These are beet pancakes- they are beet puree used in a pancake, the recipe is at the link above, take a look, talk about hiding healthy food and getting kids to eat their veggies, hmm... another way to get us to eat veggies maybe that we really aren't too fond of but are really good for us at the same time too!

sweet treat- only sugar in it is from the food, no sugar added!

3 ingredient banana bread cookies- they are healthy!
