This “pizza” substitutes a traditional flour crust for a crust of solid meat. The meatloaf-style base is smeared with tomato sauce, loaded with vegetables and topped with shrimp, homemade salsa and homemade mango guacamole to become a complete Zone-able meal.
True to the Paleo Diet, meatza forgoes all grains and dairy products.
“This is going to be cheese-less, but it’s going to taste good,” Massie says.
In Part 1, learn how to prepare meatza.
“This looks delicious. It’s a fork-and-knife job, obviously, but looks nice and crispy,” McKernan says.
In Part 2, Massie demonstrates how to prepare your own salsa and guacamole. The tomatillo salsa and guacamole round out the meatza and add a burst of sweet ’n’ spicy flavor.
Part 1
10min 07sec
Part 2
4min 17sec

Joey!
There you are!
I'd wondered about you occasionally and wished I'd got (or kept if you gave it to me) your email address.
Hope things are going well with you.

Great video but clearly Greg Hammond needs more air time! LOL This comment was in no way added by Greg himself. Thanks to Nick, Erik, Ro and Heber. 2nd best "work" trip only to a weekend spent at Travis Pastrana's house but this was way safer!

Jeff.
That is a good questions. It all started with washing dishes when I was fourteen. I've been cooking ever since. I attended culinary school in Denver and Hotel and Restaurant Management School in Anchorage, Alaska. I've worked in over 25 restaurants throughout the past 15 years. Although good mechanics, nutrition, sanitation and food science are learned in school, most real learning happens in the restaurant. It's practice, just like in CrossFit, that sets one cook apart from another. Like Glassman says, if you do anything daily for 5-7 years, you will become proficient and successful.
Thank you for your interest in my life!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Nick
