Low Carb & Gluten Free Pizza (Again!)

I know I've posted it before, but I love this pizza recipe so much! 

Once you've made it a couple of times it gets really easy to just quickly knock out a pizza crust in no time at all. Then it's all about getting creative with the toppings.

This weekend, I was charged with the toppings for S's incredibly thin and tasty base. Pizza lore claims that the original margherita pizza was created for Queen Margherita and represented the colours of the Italian flag: red (tomato), green (basil), and white (mozzarella). 

I took my cue from there and added some delicious Parma ham I picked up in the wonderful Bradley's on North Main Street. It was seriously delish and the whole pizza came in at about 10g of carbs. Paired with a nice cab sauv, it's the ultimate weekend treat.

The full recipe for this low carb and gluten free pizza base can be found in this previous post.

Lunch At Italee

I recently got a great recommendation from my brother. As a footballer, he's always on the lookout for a healthy, low carb lunch. I don't often venture down to the Parnell Place end of Oliver Plunkett Street, but now I know what I've been missing!

Italee is a gorgeous restaurant with great coffee and a good selection of low-carb lunches. I had the mozzarella, parma and pesto plate and damn was it good! Everything was fresh and flavourful and I'll definitely be back.
