It’s meatless Monday!!!
Whoa, I am just realizing that um all of my recent Monday posts have been semi packed with meaty things. So sorry to all those vegetarian readers. I guess all those cozy winter foods sort of took over for a while. Oh well, I mean they were all pretty good, so I had to post them sometime.
Anyway, today I am going meatless and loving it. Well actually, to be honest I kind of love meatless meals anyway, but I just have so much fun exploring all foods, that you guys just end up seeing a little bit of everything (plus, I have brothers who LIVE for meat!).
Sometimes though? Well, sometimes you really just need a good buffalo pizza. Like one full of sauce and cheese and semi greasy goodness. Yes, you do.
Typically when you think of a buffalo pizza you think buffalo chicken, but umm, I will not lie I have never made a buffalo pizza WITH chicken. I know, is that weird? Probably, but I kind of find that chicken on pizza is really not all that awesome – for me at least. I’m sure there are some really amazing chicken pizzas out there that I just have not yet tried, but to me, a buffalo pizza is all about the sauce. The sauce and cheese, together they are everything!
SO – instead of chicken, I have always made buffalo chicken pizza, minus the chicken, plus some broccoli and loaded it up with my homemade buffalo sauce. It’s weird, but it’s honestly one of the best pizzas I make.
Today I made a cauliflower version though, and it is so good! Now, if you read any food magazines, or are into food at all, than you are probably well aware that cauliflower is having a major “moment”. Like MAJOR. It seems to be the base of every other recipe these days: raw, roasted, steamed, you name it and its been done. Truthfully, I have always enjoyed cauliflower. I was even making cauliflower rice back when I was sixteen and went through a serious health food phase. This was back when I thought I wanted to be a nutritionist…then I got a little bored and went back to what I always loved styling clothes…then LA happened and I freaked a little…and then I started this blog thing and… now I am happy. <– Life story in about ten seconds right there.
Thing is, I have yet to jump on this whole cauliflower craze. Apparently, I have been way too busy with all my pineapples!
While, today I am changing that with this buffalo roasted cauliflower pizza. It’s a recipe to love and make…weekly!! Or even for March Madness. Ahh, has that started yet, or does that happen more towards the end of the month? Not really up on those things.
This pizza is pretty simple. It’s all the flavors of a buffalo chicken pizza, only instead of chicken you get a healthy dose of cauliflower. Pretty good swap if you ask me.
I also made a little avocado drizzle to balance out the heat. It’s not a necessity, but it is really good, and the blue cheese, oh the blue cheese. Well, I know there are those of you out there who really dislike blue cheese, but I am most definitely not one of them. I am a firm believer that you really can not do buffalo anything with cheddar and blue cheese. You just can’t.
Ok, ok, okay. Now can we all please just make some pizza tonight? I mean, I personally could not think of a better way to spend a Monday night.

Veggie pizza for the win!
This looks amazing! Buffalo anything is always my jam 🙂 hahaha. And your ten second life story made me smile 🙂 Beautiful post, as always!
This looks and sounds absolutely amazing. I’ve become such a disciple of this site! Anything that combines cauliflower (which I’ve always loved) with gorgonzola, buffalo sauce, and avocado simply can’t be anything but delightful! Thank you!
Gorgeously colored cauli! And that Chipotle Blue Cheese Avocado Drizzle sounds simply amazing!
Oh my goodness, I swear every recipe you post just GETS. ME. This pizza!!!! Those buffalo cauliflower bites, the avocado drizzle, oh my goodness. This is just everything. I can’t wait to try it ASAP!! (Also, this: “This was back when I thought I wanted to be a nutritionist…then I got a little bored and went back to what I always loved styling clothes…then LA happened and I freaked a little…and then I started this blog thing and… now I am happy. <– Life story in about ten seconds right there." made my morning. Your posts always make me smile!!)
Your comments ALWAYS lift my spirits. It like you know when I need to smile! 🙂 THANK YOU!
This looks so good right now! Your pizza recipes are always delicious, so I’m excited to try this one!
This looks delicious! I love cauliflower and pizza so what’s not to love about this??
This pizza looks amazing. My husband wouldn’t even care that it was meatless.
Oh my gosh, this looks so good. Definitely going to defrost my frozen pizza dough so I can make this tonight! I made the cashew Indian butter paneer last night and it was a HUGE hit. Seriously, better than any takeout Indian I have ever had.
Your pizzas always look amazing and the times that I have made them, I’m never disappointed! These meatless buffalo pizzas look perfect and I don’t think anyone would ever miss the meat because they’re packed with so much flavor!
I have never really been one to jump on the meatless Monday trend. This girl, she be carnivorous.
BUT BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER?! WHATTHEWHAT?! If this is what MM can look like, I am ALL IN. Pinned!
Tieghan, you can meatless Monday delicious! And coming from a girl who likes her meat, that’s a big thing 😉
You mixed butter with Frank’s Red Hot to make Buffalo sauce? I find this shocking. But I’m ready to try. I have never thought to do that! Cauliflower is awesome, I’ve been on that train for awhile. I’m most excited about your pizza dough recipe, I’ve bombed pizza dough. Again. And again. And again. I get so frustrated! I hope this works for me.
I love anything buffalo and this just looks so good. I could just eat the buffalo cauliflower with that blue cheese drizzle…yum. Can’t wait to make this.
Yum! I don’t know which layer of goodness to love more, the crust, the toppings, or the sauce! Meatless monday is looking pretty good right now and I love that you added avo to the drizzle! Pinned!
I think the cauliflower craze might have gone to far when they used it for the pizza dough. Your use of cauliflower sounds and looks good.
