The Famous Spagetti Squash Pizza

As you know I host a virtual online fitness group helping other women get fit too. Inside that group, I share what I eat each day my own personal recipes and this recipe has spread like WILDFIRE. One day I had some already cooked spaghetti squash in the fridge, it was Friday night, and Josh and I had been working on the rental all day. It was for sure a pizza kinda night but I have been working my way back to fit after recovering from my double mastectomy, reconstruction, and what I thought to be my body rejecting the implants nope just mono. I know fun haha! I was focused and this genius was born!

I mixed up all these ingredients not really sure what would happen, It turns out it was magic and ALL OF US make this multiple times a week and our husbands are requesting it too, so thought I would share!

Makes 2 personal pizzas

Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1 small spaghetti squash cooked and shredded ( if you don’t know how to do this cut squash in half, scoop out seeds spray with olive oil spray, salt, and pepper, put on a tin foil-lined sheet pan, cut side down bake for 30-35 min at 350. Let cool.. using a fork scrape the flesh out down to the skin

  • 2 eggs ( 2 flax eggs for Vegan option)

  • 2 tablespoons almond flour

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • olive oil spray

Toppings

  • 1 cup any cheese you like ( Vegan cheese option)

  • 1/2 cup any shredded meat ( jackfruit option) I have been obsessed with shredded pork or chicken bbq which is what I used in this recipe. I use the instant pot, 3 chicken thighs with 1/4 cup bbq sauce cook on manual, high pressure for 20 min. I put it in wraps, quesadillas, stuffed baked potato, and more importantly this pizza!!!!!!

    6 tablespoons of BBQ sauce

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and spray 2 pie dishes with olive oil spray, set aside

  2. Use a paper towel, clean dishcloth or cheesecloth to squeeze out any excess liquid from the squash

  3. place in a bowl with eggs, almond flour and spices mix with a fork

  4. Place 1/2 the crust mixture in each pie pan and pat down with a fork, cook for 15-20 minutes until firm and a little browned on the edges

  5. when done spread 2 tablespoons of sauce on each pizza , add your cheese, meat, and onions to each one

  6. pop them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly

  7. drizzle the last tablespoon of bbq on top of each pizza and ENJOY!

I would love for you to tag me on IG if you make this and let me know what you think @lisamhauck love seeing you make my recipes!

RECIPE TIPS-

I like to cook a squash each weekend and have it in the fridge for this recipe makes it super simple and we’ve been eating this each week so meal prepping it was a no brainer

I recommend roasting the squash overusing the instant pot because the squash ends up too watery. You can do it this way just make sure you squeeze the water out.

Ideas of different pizza, we have done pepperoni, roasted veggies, the bbq one and NOW I want to try buffalo mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil to do a margarita style so you can get very creative with this!


Sweet Potato Pancakes

I LOVE being part of an online community of ladies who are like minded working on their fitness like me. Not to say we are perfect, we share our successes and struggles but we also follow the same meal plan and share recipes! 

One of the ladies posted a sweet potato pancake and I thought WOW what an amazing idea. Sweet potatoes are the most nutrient dense carbs you can eat. I am always looking for new ways to have them hence all of the recipes on here featuring them. 

This one deserves a special spot in your recipe collection! Kids and adults love them and if you would like to make these Sneaky pancakes you can absolutely add baby spinach to these and get in an extra veggie for you and the kids! 

These are sweet enough without maple syrup so for me it is just a teaspoon of melted butter on top... YES... butter is ok! We all need healthy fats. I know some people still can get past it but I promise...coming from the lady who lost 50 lbs and has kept it off real butter is ok to eat. If you are still eating butter from the tub PLEASE do yourself a favor and ditch it! With all the love in the world STOP. If it is man made I want you to think Chemical SH!T storm. K.... OK.

I love to double this recipe because they go quick! This recipe serves 4 3-4 pancakes per serving depending on the size you make them! 

For those who follow Portion Fix - 1 Red, 1 Yellow, 1 tsp ( if you add spinach this would also be a green and perfect as a pre or post workout meal for 80-day obsession)

INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 cups of cooked mashed Sweet Potato
  • 8 Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon of Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 packets Stevia
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of salt 
  • Coconut oil spray or Olive oil spray

DIRECTIONS

  1.  Heat skillet or preferable a griddle to medium heat ( not too high or they will burn.)
  2. Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth
  3. spray skillet with coconut oil spray or olive oil spray, then pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto skillet. 
  4. The batter is runny so pour slowly and allow to set up before flipping

These would be wonderful with sliced banana and drizzle of melted Almond or PB over them, and don't forget they can be sneaky by adding in that spinach which I often do because who doesn't need to sneak extra veggies in!
