Jeff's take on the PJ Pizza Parade

So on my diet Pizza is a major no-no. Flour and sugar in the crust, usually sugar in the tomato sauce, lactose in Mozzarella and pepperoni, starch as an anti-caking agent on the preshredded cheese the restaurants gets. I would spend Christmas in major pain or soaring on narcotics, neither is my idea of a good time...well narcotics are fun in a different way,

So with some research and a bit of intuition I made this up...a gluten/sugar/lactose free pizza crust.
3 cups cooked Spaghetti Squash
2 eggs
1/4 cup shredded cheddar or jack cheese
1/4 cup cooked white beans
Italian herbs and spices.

whirrrr this together in food processor, put in oiled pie plate
bake at 350. I haven't quite figured out how long to bake it...go for browned and i may be pick-upable. It was a bit crumbly...maybe oil in the crust...try it and tell my what you come up with

Mine made enough for two pizzas. Top how you like to...It's a Pizza go crazy, artichoke and olive, or change the seasoning in the crust to a more spanish style and do a taco pizza.

Family traditions are too important to skip. This is how I made it work.

Tell us about some of your favorite christmas traditions.
