Breakfast Anyone?
Breakfast Anyone?
The funniest things can happen when you allow your 4 year old son to choose the breakfast for the day. I do allow them to make decisions every once in awhile ;-) Anyway, on this particular morning his request was pizza, my response... "UGH? Pizza?!" His reply was even cuter than the request "Please momma, can we have pizza for breakfast? maybe eggs?"
"Eggs, I can do"
"But what about having pizza momma?"
Silence from momma, pleading blue eyes from son. My heart melts.
"well sweetie, how about we try something different and make egg pizza?" I am really still clueless as to how I am going to pull this off...but I agree to give it a try anyway.
"yay!!! GUYS, mom's gonna make EGG P-I-Z-Z-A!!!" he sings as he dances around the house still in his pj's.
Ok so how do you do Gluten Free Pizza crust without a pizza mix? How do you make a breakfast pizza? (These things are just not common place in our home) I am, by this time, brainstorming and digging through the cupboards for a clue. Nothing is happening in my brain, I just can't seem to get my tongue around it. I send the children off to get dressed and reach for my remaining bag of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Baking Mix
I measured out about 3/4 cup of Bob's Mix and add 2 teas.Xanthan Gum
I took out my favorite bar pan and "buttered" it with some Olive oil. I then thought it might be smart to oil my hands as this really looked sticky. I began patting it down to about a 1/8-1/4" thickness and popped it into a 325 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes until the top looked like it was baked and not doughy...it actually started to look like a nice 'whole wheat' crust.
While it was baking, I scrambled a good 5 organic free range eggs.
I removed the pizza crust from the oven and splashed some tomato sauce, fresh Italian herbs, and then added the eggs over the top. Being Dairy free, I finished it off with a casein free shredded soy based cheddar and the same brand mozzarella cheese and popped it back into the oven just until the cheese was melty looking.
To my and my beloved's delight, the pizza was a hit!! The crust was actually crunchy on the edges and tender in the middle, no mush, no bleh flavor.... it was GOOD!
IT WAS PIZZA!!

Great Post, kids can be so sweet and honest.
I read an article entitle:
Coffee Table Reading - All About Espresso Cups
True espresso drinkers are the ones who will be more likely to make a big deal out of the cup or drinking glass that their espresso is in! However, if you're an average individual who simply prefers the taste of espresso over other coffee beverages then you may not care all that much about the specific cups that your espresso sits in. However, in other countries besides the US

One of the good things MarS, is that there are alternatives and they are TASTY too! If your neighbor would like some great recipes and advice, I would be thrilled to send you some links! It is not always easy to live with, but there are ways to get around it.and then things aren't so bad at all ;-)

I love pizza's, with cheese, tomato and egg is great!. Pizza is one of the global dishes, you can finf it almost everywhere but always local way prepared.
But this gluten problem is very serious. I know child from neighbour who must not eat anything which contain gluten. Poor guy, his menu is very restrict, because gluten is almost in everything.

Wonderful use of your skills and talent! :)
You are GOOD, Kiddo! Pizza is very popular around here-- We have about a thousand parlors and shops, and we also have a huge mix of people from around the Globe because of the Universities and Colleges....
One iof the most humourous blending of cultures and food was a Mexican Cuisine and Pizza Parlor that had African and Ethiopian style dishes on the menu, talk about getting people together! :)
They made the best Quesadillas I have ever e

but it works!! (don't hit enter before you finish fishie *duh*)
Just be careful when using other "cheeses" that you check to be sure they don't contain Casein (milk protien).
I have been dairy free much longer than Gluten free, so if you are looking for some good store brands, I can hook ya up.

Gluten is part of wheat, not dairy.
BUT, I am also dairy free-- so i use a lot of soy, goat or rice based cheeses, milks and yogurts.
If you are lactose intolerant, might I suggest trying Goat milk? I was shocked to find that I could digest the milk proteins in Goat milk or goat cheese. The flavor is a bit different unless you have awesome neighbors who 'free range" their animals so the flavor is mellower.

That was what I was going to say.
I know I LOVE breakfast burritos...covered in salsa. So I know it would be awesome for the pizza!
Yes the potato pizza is off the chain!!

Omgosh Jen, that sounds Yummy!!
These things are kind of new to me again since going gluten free & dairy free. So when I find things that my family likes as well, I know it is good. Hubby was a chef and is pretty picky, but even he thought this was good. Of course he had to make the comment about how breakfast pizzas are supposed to be made with a white sauce or cheese, not tomato and maybe add a breakfast meat next time. *rolls eyes* Personally, I thought salsa would have been good too. heehee
