Step-by-step
- Add the shredded cheese, cream cheese and almond flour in a microwave bowl and heat it in 30 seconds bursts until the cheese has slightly melted.
- Carefully use a fork and mix the warm ingredients together.
- Add the egg, salt and rosemary seasonings to the dough and mix it thoroughly.
- The cheese must be warm and melted for it to mix correctly but not terribly hot that it will cook the egg.

- Remove the top layer of parchment paper and poke holes in the dough.
- Bake it at 350 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is a golden brown.
- Remove the pizza crust from the oven and add your toppings!
- Once your toppings are complete on the pizza be sure to heat it for another 5 minutes to allow the cheese and toppings to heat.

Beyond the Pizza: Tips for Busy Weeknights
Making healthy eating a priority as a busy mom requires strategy. Here are some of my go-to tips to simplify mealtimes:
- Meal prep on the weekend: Spending a few hours on Sunday prepping ingredients (chopping veggies, cooking chicken, etc.) makes weeknight cooking a breeze.
- Embrace one-pan or one-pot meals: These minimize cleanup and save time.
- Stock your freezer: Keep a stash of healthy, quick-to-cook meals on hand for those nights when you're truly short on time.
- Get the kids involved: Age-appropriate tasks like washing vegetables or setting the table can teach responsibility and free up your time.
- Don't strive for perfection: Some nights, it's okay to opt for a simpler meal. The goal is consistency, not perfection.
