Menu Plan Monday - October 21 to 28, 2024

It's been a while since I've added a Menu plan Monday, and I wasn't planning on doing it again, really, but just felt like it today, so thought I would bring it back and hopefully stick with it.  It helps me have a place to keep my meal plans on hand.

Hope you enjoy a peek into our meals over the next week!

4 ingredient Keto Pizza

 
 
Since I've been on a low carb diet, I have tried to find recipes that I can make that are not only easy but delicious, and will take away my cravings for those carb loaded meals, that I used to love.

Pizza is one of those.  I do love a good pizza, but I really don't want all the carbs.

This recipe is just 4 ingredients, faster and easier to make than normal pizza and it is delicious.  




4 Ingredient Keto Pizza Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (plus more for topping)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • sauce & pizza toppings of your choice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, microwave the cream cheese and mozzarella together for 90 seconds, stirring half way through.
  • Stir in the almond flour and beaten egg to combine (if your dough appears to be too sticky, add in a little more almond flour). Knead with your hands until a dough forms.
  • Place the dough in between two large pieces of parchment paper and roll the dough out into a 10" circle, or until it's about 1/3 inch thick. (*See tips in the recipe notes below for keeping the dough from sticking to the paper).
  • Remove the top piece of parchment paper, and place the bottom sheet with the dough on it onto a pizza pan or upside down sheet pan.
  • Use a fork to pierce lots of holes throughout the dough to help it cook evenly and prevent bubbling.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and top it with sauce, cheese, and the toppings of your choice.
Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Gobble up. :-)
