I’m always looking for quick and semi-healthy snacks to make. Snacking is probably my favorite activity of the day. These garlic cauliflower breadsticks fit the bill.

People use cauliflower to make pizza crust all of the time, so why not turn it into breadsticks? It only makes sense.

These tasted so good that my DH actually ate a couple without complaining about vegetables. Hallelujah!cauliflowerbreadsticks-3

I think it has to do with all of the garlic and cheese. That’s all that you taste (and that’s the good stuff)!cauliflowerbreadsticks-4

House of Cards Season 3 is officially on Netflix today and I’m doing everything in my power not to start watching it before my DH comes home from work. It’s like a Pringles can, “once you pop, you can’t stop!” …or something like that.

Anyways, working and making dinner at the same time is no easy task. I hardly have any time since my hours at work are so sporadic and by the time I get home, I’m exhausted. That means more crockpot recipes for you guys!

I’m sill trying to be a quinoa lover, but it’s just not happening. I don’t think quinoa will ever be a staple in our household. Don’t get me wrong, this is a tasty recipe. It’s just too… quinoa-y for me.

Pizza Hut’s Gluten Free Pizza

by 122 Comments


IMG_4476 I was invited to try Pizza Hut’s® “Gluten-Free Pizza” made with Udi’s® certified gluten-free crust and of course, I said yes. I’ve never said no to pizza  (nor will I ever!). I grew up eating Pizza Hut because it’s my parents’ favorite store to order pizza from, so I was familiar with their pizzas already. I was excited to try a new product! Since I had a Pizza Hut only a couple of miles from my place, I decided to order it for carryout. I pulled out my computer, went to pizzahut.com, and started personalizing my pizza. There was only one size gluten-free crust pizza to choose from, a small ten inch. I went with that option and added some chicken and went light on the cheese. You could also opt to go plain cheese, pepperoni, or personalize it however you’d like. Fifteen minutes after I submitted my order, my pizza was ready for pickup. IMG_4471 Sure enough, my pizza was right there waiting for me when I showed up. I love when stores have the food ready when they say it’s going to be. My total was just over $12 because I added an extra topping. The Udi’s Gluten Free Pizza starts at $9.99. IMG_4473   I had no idea what to expect because I’ve never had gluten-free pizza before. The crust was very flat and crispy, which reminded me of bruschetta or a cracker. IMG_4475   The rest of the toppings were great as usual, but it did take me a while to get used to this pizza. I felt like it was more of an appetizer than a meal because of how light it was to eat. I didn’t feel sluggish or overwhelmed after eating a couple of slices. That’s a good feeling. IMG_4478     Pizza Hut partnered with the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG) to make this “Gluten-Free Pizza” preparation possible. The pepperoni and cheese-only pizzas are the only pizzas certified by the GIG. All of the Pizza Hut team members are trained in order to take specific precautions when making these pizzas. IMG_4483   Although Pizza Hut does offer gluten-free ingredients, their entire kitchen is not a gluten-free environment. That means that they cannot assure that every menu item will be completely free of gluten. Still, they’re taking a huge step ahead by offering those Gluten-Free ingredients.
