I am sure you have heard of the cauliflower crust pizza? Well try spaghetti squash instead; just keep it kinda thin. It is freakin delicious and it gets rid of my craving for bad stuff.

This intrigued me! I found a number of web sites with recipes for this pizza crust. It is higher in fat if you are on a low-fat diet but is low in carbs. I think I may give this a try!

I do try to use only egg whites and may substitute egg whites for the whole eggs, which would decrease the fat/saturated fat content.
