No, we haven’t gone off of our ketogenic diet.  I found a fantastic low carb pizza crust recipe online and decided to give it a try.  The crust is where the majority of the carbs in regular pizza are – the sauce, cheese and meat you put on it aren’t high in carbs (just don’t overdo the pizza sauce).

Because I wanted to start small, I used 2 cups of cheese (mozzarella and a little parmesan) and 2 eggs, along with garlic powder, oregano and basil.  It did stick to the pan, but was still really, really good.  I took it off of the first pan, got out a new pan and added the sauce and toppings before broiling it.

I guess I was in the mood to cook, because I also made broccoli and cheese soup (always good to have on hand in case you need something quick), pork chops with mushrooms and green beans, and a cheesecake is currently in the oven!

Tomorrow we face the 22-mile climb that nearly killed me a few weeks ago (yes, I’m exaggerating, but I felt terrible during it).  But we won’t be stopping there.  The plan is to continue up to Mt. Baldy, and to say it’s a steep climb isn’t doing it justice.   Stage 7 of the Amgen Tour of California will finish on Mt. Baldy and will most likely be the deciding stage.  Good thing I had pizza tonight.
