Frankly, I miss nasty carnival food sometimes, but this weeks recipe can cure the craving for a big fat naughty gyro. I realized, after I made this for the first time, that I was not missing the gyro itself but the yummy (and healthy!) tzatziki cucumber sauce.

Healthy Recipe of the Week - Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Posted by Juliet Ames

Aug 19, 2011

Confession: two months ago, if you had told me that I would write healthy food recipes for a health club, I might have laughed at you. Not for lack of kitchen experience, but for lack of *healthy* kitchen experience. Two months ago, all of my recipes included liberal amounts of butter, full fat cheese and pasta. Lots of pasta. I am not sure how, but something clicked two months ago and I realized that I can use my kitchen knowledge for good. I changed the way I ate, started moving more, and drank a ton of water and I sit here today 20lbs lighter. I don't claim to be a nutritionist or a healthy food guru but I am happy to be here to share some of the recipes that helped my family get healthy while still looking forward to dinner time.
