Almond Crust Pizza
This is a great recipe for pizza crust if you ever get sick of the meat crust. I tend to alternate between the two!

Usually I buy almond meal from the bulk section at whole foods or sprouts, but today I ran out and had to improvise. I grabbed a bag of mixed raw nuts and threw them in my ninja food processor and ground them up. I had to make sure I didn't grind too much or it would have created nut butter rather than nut flour. Once I got it to the right consistency I mixed the following ingredients in a mixing bowl.
1 1/2 cup almond flour (or in this case mixed nut four)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Mix it all together, then roll it out on your pan under wax paper to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin. Get it about 1/4 an inch and as even as possible so it cooks evenly. Bake it at 350 f for 12-15 minutes until slightly golden brown.
Once crust is ready, throw on the toppings. I like to add tomato sauce, fresh spinach, mozzarella, Kalamata olives, onion and peppers, nitrate free pepperoni, and more Italian cheeses. Then I toss it back in the oven on broil and cook for about 10 minutes till the toppings are nice and crispy!
