Vegan Pizza with Homemade Cheese Sauce and Garlicky Spinach

My homemade cheese sauce was the bees knees so I had some Caulipower plain crusts so my brain was like, hmmm, let's make a vegan white pizza! And it was amazing!

What you need:

• Crust (any kind will do, I used cauliflower crust)

• 1.5 teaspoons avocado/olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon dehydrated minced onion
• 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
• little bit of olive oil to spread on the crust
• Optional toppings* hunks of vegan cheese, basil, parsley, oregano..

What you need to do:

1. Make that vegan cheese sauce if you haven't already!
2. Preheat oven based on crust choice
3. Spread some olive oil across your crust
4. Heat your oil and dehydrated onions in a small pan
5. Once you hear them crackling, add in your spinach
6. Dump your minced garlic on now and cook spinach til wilted, about 1-2 minutes
7. Remove spinach from heat
8. Add your cheese sauce to the crust
9. Top with spinach mixture
10. I added some fresh parsley and basil from my garden before serving!
11. YUM, YOUUU DONE

Vegan Spinach and Artichoke Pizza

I finally got to try the Caulipower pizza crust! It was so good! A lot better than my homemade cauliflower crust, haha. I had to make half of this a normal pizza for Sean (his half is not vegan, it has cheese). I was pleasantly surprised that he enjoyed the crust too!

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• half of a shallot, diced
• 2 teaspoon minced garlic
• 3 cups spinach
• 1 can of artichokes, chopped
• 2 ounce Kite Hill chive cream cheese
• 1/4 cup Just Mayo
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• pepper flakes to top

What you need to do:

1. Preheat oven to 425 
2. Brush crust with olive oil
3. In a pan, saute avocado oil, shallot and garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute
4. Add in spinach, artichokes, garlic powder, salt and pepper
5. Cook until spinach is wilted, then add vegan mayo and cream cheese
6. Cook until combined
7. Top crust with spinach mixture and bake on the top rack (or pizza stone) for 16 minutes or whatever the package says, I forget!
8. Let cool a couple minutes then enjoy!

Cauliflower "Risotto" Bowl

I'm such a fan of cauliflower rice because I LOVE cauliflower. This was simple to throw together because I was a liiiiittle hung over (read as A LOT HUNGOVER) today and quite tasty because of the spicy tangy sauce on top. Pile on some extras and this is a meal.

• 1 tablespoon chili paste
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• *Extras* i threw walnuts, spicy banana peppers and a couple slices of cucumber
