jessica & mike's wedding.

This past weekend was Jessica and Mike's wedding day and it was absolutely beautiful.  I definitely cried throughout the ceremony as it was so sincere and filled with love. The moment Jessica walked down the aisle was truly breathtaking.  Blake, Chase, and Jessica have been best friends for many years.  Blake had the two of them on his side for our wedding, Chase did the same, and now Jessica.  Our wedding pictures can be found here.  I adore the fact that all three of them had each other in their wedding party.  I bet growing up they never would have imagined the three of them would get married right in a row-2010, 2011, and 2012--too cool.  I took the photos below with a tiny little point and shoot camera so these are not the best quality.  However, I wanted to show some of my favorites from their special day.  Jessica and Mike had a professional photographer taking pictures so I'm sure they will have many incredible pictures to come! Blake and I couldn't be happier for the two of you.   

Congratulations, Jess and Mike! We love you guys!! xoxo

crustless (cauliflower "crust") pizza.

Ingredients: Note-This recipe makes two personal pizzas

1 16 oz. frozen bag of cauliflower 

2 eggs (free roaming/cage free is best!) or Egg Beaters

Oregano

Basil

Garlic powder

Extra virgin olive oil or any kind of cooking spray

Tomato sauce--Amount is up to you! I used one 8 oz of the sauce and one 6 oz of the paste.  Since then, I have found brands with less sodium and sugar that are much healthier.  These mixed were quite tasty and gave us plenty for two people. This was almost enough sauce for 4 pizzas!

Fat-free cheese (any kind or any cheese mix)

Toppings of your choice (stay away from fatty meats like sausage and pepperoni--those pictured are turkey) 

Mix the cauliflower in a food processor or blender.

Microwave the chopped cauliflower for four minutes.

Mix the chopped cauliflower, two eggs, shredded cheese (amount to your liking,) and oregano (again, the amount you prefer) into a bowl.

Grease the bottom of your pans with olive oil or any other type of cooking spray.  Then, pat half of the mixture into each pizza pan. 

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Once the oven is heated, put the two pizzas into the oven for about 12 minutes until your "crust" is ready. 

 

Mix the tomato sauce and/or paste, oregano, basil, and garlic powder together to create your custom sauce. You can add as much or as little of the seasonings based on your preferences.  

Once your pizza/s have cooked for 12 minutes, remove them from the oven and add the sauce.

Add your toppings (cheese, veggies, etc) to your pizza.

Put the pizza back in the oven for 5 minutes (keep your eye on it as some cook quicker than others, depending on your oven.)  

I think it's safe to say my hubby enjoyed his crustless pizza! Success!

happy birthday holly.
