victory

i have a weird stomach.

i can't eat eggs, broccoli, peppers, cabbage, and am sensitive to dairy (but only seasonally, and I'm not crazy - it's a real thing).

recently, i made some delicious pizzas with ehler - covered in veggies and other yummy things. this pizza left my stomach hurting for a while, and i decided that enough is enough. i wanted to take on broccoli. so here's what i did.

anthony recommended a good no-rise pizza crust that was mostly wheat flour, and i added some broccoli to it. first i steamed the broccoli and "pureed" it (i put it in a blender - not ideal results). because the broccoli was so wet, i didn't add all the water called for in the recipe.

baked those little crusty-crusts for like 12 minutes.
pulled them out to cool while i made pizza sauce. I added cauliflower (also steamed and blended) to the pizza sauce.
waited for all that to cool before constructing 7 little pizzas, and then popped 'em in the freezer to be consumed at my convenience.

i ate one last week - i was really nervous i'd end up with a 5 hour stomach ache
BUT IT WORKED!
i hate broccoli AND cauliflower AND MY STOMACH DIDNT HURT!
plus i really liked making a lot of things at once, for me to eat later. i also don't feel as bad eating them as i did the bajillion mini pizzas i got at costco (whooops).
