Tia Mowry at Home is a television show that centers around actress and chef Tia Mowry, as she cooks up delicious and healthy meals for her family and friends. In season 2 episode 9, titled "Pizza Goes Healthy," Tia invites her friend and fellow mom, Jessica Alba, over to her kitchen to create a healthy pizza recipe that both moms and kids will love.
The episode starts off with Tia and Jessica catching up and discussing their mutual love for pizza. However, they both acknowledge that traditional pizza is not the healthiest option, especially for their children. So, they decide to put their heads together and come up with a recipe that is both healthy and delicious.
Tia and Jessica begin by preparing the pizza crust using a cauliflower crust recipe instead of traditional pizza dough. They add eggs, Parmesan cheese, and almond flour to their cauliflower puree to create a dough-like texture. They then roll out the crust and place it in the oven to bake until it's light and crispy.
While their crust is baking, Tia and Jessica start preparing the toppings for their pizza. They opt for fresh and nutritious ingredients, such as spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and chicken sausage. They also use goat cheese and mozzarella cheese as their toppings instead of processed cheese.
Once the crust is ready, Tia and Jessica add their toppings and place the pizza back in the oven to bake for a few more minutes. They also give viewers some helpful tips and tricks for making the perfect pizza, such as pre-baking the crust and using a baking stone.
As the pizza finishes baking, Tia and Jessica take some time to sit down and enjoy their creation. They both agree that it is not only delicious, but it also feels healthy and satisfying. They also discuss the importance of involving their children in the cooking process, in order to create a love and appreciation for healthy food from a young age.
Overall, "Pizza Goes Healthy" is a fun and informative episode that teaches viewers how to enjoy a pizza without all the guilt. With fresh and nutritious ingredients, and a cauliflower crust, Tia and Jessica prove that healthier pizza options can be just as tasty as traditional ones.
