Lunch:

Not only that, a regular cheese pizza is only 37 carbs for 1/2 of a pizza. Choose from Margherita, veggie, three-cheese or plain crust (my daughter made a tofu pizza with the plain crust one). All of them taste great. My son even had seconds. I love that I can have pizza and not worry about having a huge amount of carbs! Check out my round up of Cauliflower Recipes for other great ideas!
The tofu one was definitely different but was still good. I liked the pre-made ones that I could just throw in the oven.
Dinner:

The flour can be used inside of recipes, like quiche or for a shake-and-bake meal. They can also be used to replace wheat flour in desserts. They are made by Pereg Foods and are all Kosher.
