Invest in yourself. Hold yourself accountable to yourself. You are responsible for your health, mentally and physically. You are responsible for your peace of mind.
Be mindful, be courteous, be strong, and protect your heart, mind, and body.
Invest in what you have left and take care of you.
If you’re thinking about giving up, this is your sign to keep going. No matter who or what gets in your way don’t stand down. If your own thoughts are deterring you from what you need to get done, change your train of thought.
There’s no one on this earth that can stop you from doing what’s best for you. Occasionally, outside factors may creep in and try to alter your thoughts and beliefs. That’s when you have to listen to the vibes that your heart and gut instincts are sending you. They’re connected. Listen to them.

Okay so when I get home from work I usually just wing it for whatever I am going to make for dinner. Tonight I had a hankering for grilled chicken bbq pizza. I have Celiacs Disease so I always opt for the cauliflower crust when I have pizza. Honestly, I like it better then regular crust. It’s whatever your preference. My kids would say, “yeah no.”
I never realized how much I love to cook. Especially when it’s not under pressure etc. I have been having fun with it so I am going to try and post more.
Here is the recipe. I take bits and pieces of other recipes and make it into my own. If you make it, let me know how it comes out.
BBQ Chicken and Bacon Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Ingredients:
1 premade cauliflower crust (about 12 inches) Use the brand you like best
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose a low-sugar option for a healthier version) I use Sweet Baby Rays Sweet and Spicey
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (diced mine and cooked it in a fry pan with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup cooked crispy bacon, crumbled
1 cup shredded thick cutt mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced (I sauted the onion first)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cauliflower crust package.
Prepare the Crust: Place the premade cauliflower crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Cook to a golden brown
Add BBQ Sauce: I like to spread the BBQ sauce evenly over the crust first.
Add Toppings: Put shredded chicken and crumbled bacon over the BBQ sauce.
Add Cheese and Onions: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and bacon, then add the thinly sliced red onion.
Bake: Bake the pizza according to the instructions on the cauliflower crust package, usually around 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish: Remove the pizza from the oven and add seasoning of your choice. I used salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder
Serve: Slice and serve hot. Serve ranch on the side for dipping.
