Pizza
Cauliflower Crust…Yes, It’s Possible
What you need:
•
1 Cup Grated Cauliflower
•
1 Cup Mozzerella Cheese
•
1 Egg
•
Teaspoon of Sea Salt
•
1/2 Teaspoon of Garlic
•
1/2 Teaspoon of Oregano
•
1/2 Teaspoon of Olive Oil
Pre-Heat Oven to 450
First, take a head of cauliflower and either use a cheese grater, blender, or food processor to get a cups worth of
grainy looking substance. Make sure not to over blend or process, you dont want a puree. The cauliflower
should look like little rice grains.
Next take that grained goodness, place it in a bowl and microwave it for about 7 minutes. While that is going,
in a big bowl mix one egg, mozzarella, sea salt, oregano, olive oil and garlic.
Once the cauliflower is done cooking, mix it into the big bowl with all the other ingredients to dough
consistency. Then place in a slightly greased pizza pan, cookie sheet, or cast iron skillet and spread into pizza
form.
Cook the crust in the oven for about 12-15 minutes to get it hardened.
Once that is done, add your sauce and toppings. I recommend going light on the cheese since the crust will
already have a cheesy taste. Try some turkey pepperoni for a lower fat option. Then stick the pizza back in the
oven for about 7 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
That’s it! I also recommend letting the pizza cool outside of the oven for about 5 minutes to help it harden more.
Now enjoy your delicious low carb pizza, guilt free. I will include my secret pizza sauce recipe below as well.

Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients
•
3 tablespoons plain dry breadcrumbs, (see Tip)
•
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
•
1/4 teaspoon paprika
•
1 16-ounce or 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
•
1 3/4 cups low-fat milk, divided
•
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
2 cups shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
•
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
•
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
•
8 ounces (2 cups) whole-wheat elbow macaroni, or penne
1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat an 8-inch-square (2-quart) baking dish with
cooking spray.
2. Mix breadcrumbs, oil and paprika in a small bowl. Place spinach in a fine-mesh strainer and press out excess
moisture.
3. Heat 1 1/2 cups milk in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming. Whisk remaining 1/4 cup
milk and flour in a small bowl until smooth; add to the hot milk and cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce
simmers and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar until melted. Stir in cottage cheese,
nutmeg, salt and pepper.
4. Cook pasta for 4 minutes, or until not quite tender. (It will continue to cook during baking.) Drain and add to the
cheese sauce; mix well. Spread half the pasta mixture in the prepared baking dish. Spoon the spinach on top.
Top with the remaining pasta; sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Bake the casserole until bubbly and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

Lift Inc.’s various locations all display the
American flag. We often get emails or phone calls
regarding our flying of the flag. The Reading
Tractor & Equipment location got such an email
back in November. It said:
“Today I was driving home on route
61 in Leesport, PA. The upper 2/3 of
the sky was dark grey. The bottom
1/3 was light grey. Your flag was lit
up by the floodlights, billowing
against the darkness. Not flapping
wildly, just a gentle billow that made
me smile. It was beautiful. Thank
you for the inspiring sight. I wanted
you to know I appreciate your
patriotism.”
