Hi friends!

I'm back for day two of game day-ready recipe making, and it's about that time that we get in the zone.

The CAL-ZONE.

...Or as I like to think of it, the easier way to justify eating an entire pizza by yourself. Gimme eight slices, forgettaboutit. Fold it in half, and suddenly half a pizza seems like child's play.

 I don't make the rules people, it's just plain science.

Remember all that talk in yesterday's post about how I like to combine recipes rather than make the impossible choice between the two?

..yeah, I wasn't kidding. You can just call me Britney, cuz...

 Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart, got lost in the....

okay, okay I'm finished now. Really. I promise.

AND I wanted to show that just like regular ol' glutinous pizza dough, this caveman crust isn't just for slathering sauce and cheese on, but fit for numerous and indecisive recipes.

Although I have tested plenty of times and can safely say that there is nothing wrong with that either. 🙂

And what better way to sneak in as many football-ready recipes as possible than stuffing it with another popular game day food, jalapeno poppers!

This wouldn't be my first jalapeno poppin' rodeo, after making a mac & cheese version, but this is 2017 folks, and cauliflower is still QUEEN.

This version is also gluten-free, which helps me win over more friends with my outrageous food, even those with dietary restrictions. My apologies vegans and non-dairy believers, I had to draw the line somewhere.

Let us eat!
