One GRITS Journey To Convert Beloved Southern Recipes to Paleo Approved, and Darn GOOD too!

This is my story of how I am striving to change my family's life, nutritionally, for the better. Here in the deep South Keto is just now becoming more known.
After reading Gary Taubes enlightning GOOD CALORIES, BAD CALORIES I was determine to change! Armed with my own two hands, the internet (thank God for AMAZON.com), and all those wonderful blogs and podcasts available now, I am beginning my journey.
Please feel free to join me as I try to adapt all of our Southern Favorites into Gluten Free and Keto Appropriate Scrumptiousness!!! I will try to post all of the good ones, and may even blog about some failures along the way.

Pancake Pizzas- A mistake turned AWESOME.

So today I started out to try something new that I saw on Pintrest- Crock Pot Pizza-
 ( In case you wanna know-you make pizza dough, cover bottom of crock pot with some sauce, put in the pizza dough, top with sauce and toppings including cheese-2hrs on high) I am always looking for fast, or crockpot meals with soccer being so early and taking up all evenings...
BUT...I mixed up my dough recipe with a pancake recipe..basically I started out with a pizza recipe on the side of the box and midway through started reading from the pancake recipe....AAAAAHHHH, my brain these days.
GLUTEN FREE FLOUR is precious and pricey--so I had to save this right?
 So there was already garlic seasoning and oregano in it, and it was thinish...it had milk instead of water, and too much of it...wrong amount of eggs... UGGGHHH. 
So I said to myself, SELF-what could I do with this mess????
 Pancake PIZZAS???- I started to get excited!!!!!!
But who knew if the MESS in my mixer would do anything. So I heated up the griddle to sizzling hot, liberally spread olive oil, and poured some of my mess , I mean dough right on it. AND GUESS WHAT???? drumbroll please........
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have invented Pancake PIZZAS!! (I think? has anyone seen it before?)
So here is the recipe if anyone is intrigued- super easy and fast dinner!:

MAMA MIA PIZZA PIZZA

Do you see how it folds over?? It doesn't fall apart, it folds in two like a real pizza!!!!!
THIS PIZZA ROCKED.
The kids and I made it for lunch today. I had bought the mix at the local health food store, just to try out a mix...I am really more into making my own stuff from scratch. Truthfully I have yet to find a recipe for a homeade dough that I LOVE.
This one took only a short short time to put together, roll out and walaa, a pizza crust.
We did use the best ingredients. I made my own quick sauce.e used fresh mozz cheese...some feta, good quality parmesan, sundried tomatoes, steak and bacon as toppings (per my son's choice).


Doesn't this look wonderful??? I was shocked that this was so great from a gluten free mix. Rock on Bob's Red Mill!!!!!!! I will be buying this again and again. I will not stop in my quest to get my own perfect pizza crust from scratch, but this one was great. And my kids faces tell its all!


An Empty Table, Empty Plates, Full Bellies, Smiling Faces!!!!
  • one tip, when you bake this on the baking stone make sure to put some cornmeal down first, my pizza did stick in a few spots because I forgot this step!!!
  • I ALWAYS use a baking stone and always preheat it in the oven for atleast 30 to 45 min prior to placing your pizza on it!!!!!
