			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This has become one of Matthew&#8217;s favorites and its very easy to make!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ingredients</span></p>
<ul>
<li>4 8&#8243; tortillas (low carb if you want)</li>
<li>1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza or marinara sauce</li>
<li>sauteed vegetables (green peppers, onions, mushroom)</li>
<li>Italian seasoning</li>
<li>turkey pepperoni</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups low-fat mozzarella cheese</li>
<li>non-stick spray</li>
</ul>
<p>Directions</p>
<p>1. Spray tortillas and toast them under the broiler until browned.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/TXRJHBL35YI/AAAAAAAAC5A/HXCJWMj1FUg/s288/IMG_2024.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></p>
<p>2. Chop and saute vegetables</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/TXRJGGC0KWI/AAAAAAAAC8g/bzjjxATxtwg/s288/None.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></p>
<p>3. Spread sauce on tortillas (as much or as little as you want)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/TXRJHS86rKI/AAAAAAAAC8I/uI4bA6Wcokk/s288/None.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></p>
<p>4. Add vegetables and pepperoni (I like to use the mini kind since these are small pizzas)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/TXRJJtafP5I/AAAAAAAAC8M/-e8SeGer8kA/s288/None.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="192" /></p>
<p>5.  Sprinkle on the cheese then shake on some Italian seasoning</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/TXRJMktGudI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/sIv35aCzWGQ/s288/None.jpg" alt="" width="248" height="288" /></p>
<p>6.  Place back under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started making this a few months ago and its now one of Matthew&#8217;s favorites.</p>
<p>1. Brown 1 pound of lean ground beef</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDON7aT4I/AAAAAAAACO0/1r_-OxkzI6o/s288/S3_0499.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>2. Add 1 packet of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDOQQ5aBI/AAAAAAAACO4/MNjOmXk5_vw/s144/S3_0504.JPG" alt="" width="144" height="108" /></p>
<p>3. Simmer for 5 minutes</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDObJzrDI/AAAAAAAACO8/O2z_wdSE0I4/s288/S3_0505.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>4. Put the ground beef in the bottom of a casserole dish in an even layer</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDOuPcxmI/AAAAAAAACPA/T7BHjL1opeY/s288/S3_0506.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>5. Take 2 small tortillas and cut them into smallish pieces (I use these low carb ones) and layer on top of the meat</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDO2JCqqI/AAAAAAAACPE/Jp4FdRgy9kg/s288/S3_0508.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>6. Next take a can of refried beans (I use the fat free version) and spread over the tortilla layer</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDdbjxXxI/AAAAAAAACPg/udCl10U8hzQ/s288/IMG_2557.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDeGBA70I/AAAAAAAACPk/3jl1ET4q9n0/s288/IMG_2558.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>7. Next, add a layer of salsa</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDexz3KVI/AAAAAAAACPo/opFf9QsWOcU/s288/IMG_2559.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>8. Cover the whole thing with a nice layer of cheese, I like to use a 2% milk Colby Jack</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDPmuZx0I/AAAAAAAACPU/aCzLQpvcEZM/s288/S3_0518.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>9. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDP1BDNJI/AAAAAAAACPY/NIAc3OWiT3Y/s288/S3_0522.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>10. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 5 minutes before cutting into it</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDfpS3AQI/AAAAAAAACPs/d3HkGkjGQfw/s288/IMG_2562.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>11.  Serve with some Light sour cream and some<a href="http://www.kmevans.net/blog/2010/06/26/guacamole/"> fabulous guacamole</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/THXDgHEQCFI/AAAAAAAACPw/CRDxBdt__Bs/s288/IMG_2564.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a variation  of <a href="http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/pizza/r/deepdishpizza.htm">this </a>recipe</p>
<p><em>(Printable version coming soon</em>)</p>
<p>First, I grated some Romano cheese</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AcbOn-2I/AAAAAAAAA3E/P7_WAWV28tE/s288/IMG_2051.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>I used about 2/3 of a cup of grated romano and a little over 1/2 cup of mozerella</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AcQQLVEI/AAAAAAAAA3A/ekICbLgqBuI/s288/IMG_2050.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Spread that on the bottom of a pizza pan (with sides) that has been sprayed with non-stick spray</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_Ack6Vt9I/AAAAAAAAA3I/3p309BYleIA/s288/IMG_2052.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Next measure out 6 oz of low fat cream cheese and put it in the mixer with 4 whole eggs, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and 1 tsp garlic powder and mix until smooth</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AdB4HlzI/AAAAAAAAA3Q/Vln2GDx0Yow/s288/IMG_2057.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Then pour the liquid mixture over the cheese on the pan</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AdChEiGI/AAAAAAAAA3U/OvqYNQuSjPk/s288/IMG_2058.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Put that in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes</p>
<p>Meanwhile, I made some homemade pizza sauce because all the commercial sauces I found had lots of sugar, but feel free to use whatever kind you want.</p>
<p>I started with tomato puree</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_Adzq9JjI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/p4H_4k3kTx4/s288/IMG_2062.JPG" alt="" width="216" height="288" /></p>
<p>Then added</p>
<ul>
<li>a few cloves of crushed garlic</li>
<li>2 tbsp Italian seasoning</li>
<li>1/2 tsp red pepper flakes</li>
<li>1 tsp kosher salt</li>
<li>1 tsp fresh basil</li>
<li>1 packet of Splenda</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AeS1klAI/AAAAAAAAA3c/tqVa6gLEbMI/s288/IMG_2063.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Then I set that to simmer while I got my toppings ready</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_Aei4KIII/AAAAAAAAA3k/dZjwQl0pQ0g/s288/IMG_2065.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Use whatever you want, as long as its low carb. I used a mix of regular and turkey pepperoni, onions, green olives and mozerella</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AexsoWWI/AAAAAAAAA3o/p5ert8zIqOY/s288/IMG_2067.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Your crust should be about ready to come out of the oven now, it will be golden brown</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AfBeGk2I/AAAAAAAAA3s/ny90zCCY_4E/s288/IMG_2068.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Spread it with your pizza sauce</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AfIDfpuI/AAAAAAAAA3w/_IfjDftfKTI/s288/IMG_2069.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Load on the toppings</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AfbwJBZI/AAAAAAAAA30/QQKQrec7wbc/s288/IMG_2070.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Sprinkle on the cheese</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_Aff0H4jI/AAAAAAAAA34/qy_1cACcXRI/s288/IMG_2071.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>And return to the 350 degree oven for another 10 minutes</p>
<p>Remove and marvel at how good it looks</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AgQO1joI/AAAAAAAAA38/qFlzJwiCWNM/s288/IMG_2072.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Slice it and serve</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_FYGU3xrSztM/S7_AgffY6ZI/AAAAAAAAA4A/xsM579w6Lyw/s288/IMG_2079.JPG" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>It really does taste like pizza, not &#8220;eggy&#8221; at all.</p>
