What if the Pizza Tower wasn't leaning?







IT'S NO SECRET! I LOVE PIZZA! You can tell from the pic that it loves me too!
Today I am continuing the Food Portion of my blog with my next recipe. Keto is the new way for me to cook now and like I've said before, it is a healthier way to eat also.
I'm going to be posting easy recipes to prepare for people who want to change their way of eating.
But I'm also going to post instructions for those who are "culinarily challenged" or who are living with Dementia but still want the freedom to participate in meal preparation.

Low Carb Pizza's is on the menu today.

Not just any crust will do. You'll need to use a Low Carb version of a crust. There are several out there on the market, but one of my favorite is this one:

I purchase mine at WalMart, but they are sold at other stores also. It doesn't have to be this brand, but make sure that the carbs per serving are low. How can you tell? Look at the ingredients on the package where the nutrition information is located. Find the Total Carbs then find the Fiber grams. Subtract the Fiber grams from the Total Carbs. For tortilla's you want to keep the total number below 6 if possible. There are many of them that have 20+ carbs, so make sure you do your homework. These tortillas have 16 grams of carbs, minus 11 grams of fiber, for a total of 5 net carbs. PERFECTO!

Next you will want to find the lowest amount of carbs in a pizza sauce. It is hard to find a low carb pizza sauce. Make sure again that you find one that has the lowest total net carbs. There are many recipes for making your own, or WalMart sells several that are lower (not as low as homemade, but easier to do than homemade).

Every pizza calls for Mozzarella cheese. No matter if you want to add any other toppings, Plenty of Mozza is the deal!

I made my pizzas with pepperoni. You can add whatever ingredients you want to have on your pizza. Every person likes different things. The one thing I do not recommend is to put Pineapple in your pizza is you want to do Keto as it is not recommended since it's loaded with natural sugars.

So here is what you need to make the pizzas that I had for supper last night:

1 serving

2 Low Carb Tortilla Wraps
Pizza Sauce
Mozzarella Cheese
Pepperoni (again, you can add or substitute toppings as you would like)

You will need:
1/2 Cup Measuring Cup
Tablespoon
Non Stick Aluminum Foil
Metal Pan

1. Preheat Oven on High Broil
2. Place a section of Aluminum Foil on the Sheet Pan, nonstick side up if you're using that type.
3. Place 2 tortilla wraps on the aluminum foil if you have room. If not you'll have to do 1 at a time and repeat.
4. With the Tablespoon, place 2 servings of sauce on the wrap. Using the bottom side of the spoon, spread the sauce out to about 1/2" from the outer edge of the wrap.

This is what it should look like:


Then spread the cheese around on the sauce using your fingers to sprinkle it in circles

5. Add the toppings that you want. I added pepperoni following the pattern I had made on the crust. It took about 13 slices to cover the pizza.

6. NOTE! IF YOU HAVE DEMENTIA, GO GET YOUR LOVED ONE TO HELP!
Making sure you use oven mitts, place the sheet into the oven.

7. Set the timer for 5 MINUTES! No Longer!

8. If you took the Oven Mitts off, PUT THEM BACK ON! GO GET YOUR LOVED ONE AGAIN TO HELP OR DO THIS PART FOR YOU!

9. Take the tray out of the oven and set on the counter to cool for 2-3 minutes.



10. Cut the pizza's in half to better hold them in your hands.

11. Enjoy. These pizzas are just as good as any pizza from a restaurant, but about 1/4 of the carbs that you don't need. Remember, SUGAR IS THE ENEMY OF THE BRAIN! Carbs turn into sugar. Regular pizza is loaded with carbs!!!!!

I hope you enjoy these. Let me know how yours came out and what toppings you applied to your pizza. As always, Bon Appetit' and #EndAlz!
