Not since Zane began the Ketogenic Diet 5 1/2 months ago has he had pizza. But last night we gave "keto pizza" a try and I believe it was a huge success. It consisted of maybe a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch rectangle of low carb bread, a thin layer of tomato sauce, shredded mozarella cheese and tons of hormel original pepperoni (by tons I mean about 6 or 7 slices). In fact there was too much pepperoni for his pizza so he ate some on the side. I can make adjustments to the meal for the future so it's not so pepperoni heavy. Prior to the diet Zane didn't even care for pepperoni but I didn't hear any complaints last night. I heated it in our toaster oven and it came out beautifully in just a few minutes. He wanted it to be shaped like real pizza so I cut the rectangle diagonally to make two triangles. Zane was super stoked and LOVED it. That will probably be all he asks for now. And I won't mind one bit!
