Cauliflower Pizza

So all over Pinterest is this new pizza recipe using cauliflower instead of pizza dough for the crust. I was curious and decided I might as well try it. This would give my kids their vegetables and pizza all in one. A win - win situation.

I got the crust recipe here.

The sauce I used came straight from Shirley J.

Alfredo Pizza Sauce

1/2 c. Shirley J Whisk Bliss

1 T. Parmesan cheese

1/2 t. garlic powder

1/8 t. black pepper

1 1/2 c. water

To make the sauce put all of the ingredients into a sauce pan and whisk. Whisk it occasionally until it starts to boil. Once it starts boiling, turn down the burner to simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Once the sauce is done and the pizza crust is ready spread it on the crust.

This sauce will cover 2 good size pizzas.

If you still don't have some of Shirley J's Whisk Bliss you can order it from my website.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much we did.

Olive Garden? Well...almost.

I made it! I finally had all of the ingredients to make my husband's favorite soup, Zuppa Toscana. I will have to say I think I did a better job than Olive Garden with this recipe. I know that sounds a little conceited, but it did taste wonderful.
This recipe also contained a Shirley J product: Chicken Bouillon.
The Chicken Bouillon from Shirley J contains no MSG, preservatives, and contains less sodium than other similar products. Yeah! It is concentrated and well worth the price.

So you are probably saying, by now, "Get on with it lady and give us the recipe!"

Zuppa Toscana

	1   pound Italian sausage
	2   large russet baking potatoes sliced in half and then in ¼ inch slices
	1   large chopped onion
	1/2 can. Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits (these are less fatty than real bacon)
	2  cloves garlic, minced
	2  cups chopped kale or Swiss chard
	29 oz. water and 1 and 3/4 teaspoons Shirley J's Chicken Bouillon
	1  quart water
	1  cup heavy whipping cream Cook sausage in a 300-degree oven for approximately 1/2 hour; drain on paper towels and cut into slices. Place onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, and garlic in a pot and cook on medium heat until potatoes are done. Add sausage, bacon, salt, and pepper to taste and simmer for another 10 minutes. Turn to low heat; add kale and cream. Heat thoroughly and serve. ** I didn't cook the sausage in the oven like the original recipe called for. The original recipe all commented that if you wanted a low carb. option you could substitute the potatoes for cauliflower. I will have to keep that in mind next time, since my husband and I are trying to lower our weight.

Potato Cheddar Soup

So, I decided to cook something special for my husband and then I went to get out all of the ingredients and found that I was missing a key ingredient. Ugh... I had already started cooking some of the ingredients from the recipe and thought to myself: "What can I do with potatoes?" Then I remembered I could make Potato Cheese Soup. So....Whisk Bliss to the rescue.

I got out my White Cheddar Whisk Bliss bag and started cooking it.
I measured out my 3 cups of water and then put the mix into the water.

After putting it into the water I whisked it up and waited for it to start boiling. While I waited I stirred it up a few times so as not burn the bottom of it.

 This is how it looked as it started to boil.

Meanwhile, my potatoes were boiling and cooking in another pot. Once the potatoes were done I smashed them up a bit and then threw them into the White Cheddar Whisk Bliss.

Finallly, I added a little salt and pepper for taste and dinner was ready. My husband enjoyed his soup and I was able to save some ingredients from a previously failed dinner plan.

You can also make this same recipe with the Original Whisk Bliss by just adding shredded cheese and potatoes to the Whisk Bliss.

This recipe easily freezes. I love to cook it and then put a little away for leftovers. The rest I put in a freezer bag and store away for another day. I have a family of 4, 2 of which are young and only eat small portions. This makes 2 meals for my small family. This can easily feed 8 people.

Whisk Bliss, What are you?

Many of you are wondering what is Whisk Bliss? Well...let me tell you. It is amazing, delicious, easy to use cream base that chefs in restaurants have been using for years. It was developed by Shirley J and has now been offered to the public.

I love it! It has made cooking so much easier for me and grocery shopping so much simpler. How you ask?
Well...Whisk Bliss is a universal sauce that can be used in MANY different ways. I will list just a few.

• Do you use condensed cream soups? If you need cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, or cream of celery you can substitute it with Whisk Bliss.
• Want pasta tonight? Alfredo is a favorite meal in my house and is often eaten 4 times a month. Instead of making your own or buying the jarred kind, Whisk Bliss can take the place.
• You can use it to make macaroni and cheese. Yes, you don't have to eat that awful powdered version from the store.
• You can use it for gravy, country gravy that is. Biscuits and gravy take a whole new level when you use Whisk Bliss as your gravy sauce.
• Want to make cream based soups? Use Whisk Bliss for broccoli and cheddar, potato and cheese, corn chowder, and many more.
• Love potatoes? Try Whisk Bliss with your scalloped potatoes.

This is just a tip or the ice burg when you think of all the cream based items you make. Shirley J's Whisk Bliss comes in a 2 lb bag. You can use as much or as little as you need for each meal. I love that because in my house left overs, more than not, get thrown away. This is my way of controlling how much is made and therefore I get to save money in my kitchen. And if you know me I am cheap. I LOVE to save money. My husband often laughs when I tell him what I did to save money. He also complains about other things I do, but we won't talk about that.

Not only does Shirley J's Whisk Bliss offer all of this. It also offers a Gluten free version. I love this too. I have tried it in many of my own recipes and actually prefer it to condensed cream soups. So, if you have a Gluten allergy I have an answer: Whisk Bliss Gluten Free.

There are other health benefits to Shirley J's Whisk Bliss. One, is that there are no MSGs. Two, there are no preservatives added. Three, it contains NO hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Four, it's 100% trans fat free. Five, it's 100% free of saturated fats. Six, has less sodium than other cream bases on the market. Seven, is lower in calories than other products that you would use. Eight, Shirley J's Whisk Bliss is high in monounsaturates because of their use of heart-healthy sunflower oil.

Gosh, with all of that information why would you not want to use Whisk Bliss?

I will be sharing recipes and more as the weeks pass.
