I have such a hard time coming up with menu ideas. A few Saturdays ago I had already done my weekly grocery shopping, but still was feeling uninspired about what to cook for Sunday dinner. When I came across Marie’s recipe for kale and goat cheese pizza, it sounded so good I braved Trader Joe’s on Sunday morning to get the ingredients.
I can’t make any recipe without making it my own, and that is especially true for pizza. I used a whole wheat crust and Trader Joe’s bottled pizza sauce, omitted the fresh sliced tomatoes that Marie used, and added kalamata olives and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Because I knew I wouldn’t be putting all the kale on the pizza, I massaged the kale. Have you heard about this? When you are going to use kale in a salad, massaging the leaves with a bit of oil makes it much more tender. I washed and dried the kale and then sprayed it with Olive Oil Pam® and massaged the kale leaves until they looked softer and shiny. It really did make a difference!
To make the pizza, I basically followed the directions on the pizza dough package, but watched the baking time carefully with Marie’s warning in mind. I thought it was delicious and my husband even ate all the kale from one of his slices. 😉
Have you ever massaged your kale?
What is your favorite pizza topping?

YES YES YES the massaging is what got me to try making the chips.
now
goat cheese? never ever tried it 🙂
is it time?
It’s way past time! It’s a soft, mild cheese. Sort of like feta but softer and milder. 🙂
Oh wow, that does sound delicious! I’ve been loving both kale and feta lately.
ok i LOVE tj’s whole wheat pizza dough!!
I love goat cheese. This sounds good! I love that your husband ate the kale from ‘one’ of his slices 🙂 That’s probably more than mine would. Mine thinks that leafy greens are evil or something.
I haven’t massaged kale but your pizza sounds delicious- I love olives on pizza (I might add the tomatoes and some mushrooms, too!).
That pizza is so fancy. Please come to my house and feed me fancy things.
My kale needs some lovin’ today, so I think he will get a nice massage this afternoon 😉
You can never go wrong with pizza. It is my dinner tomorrow:)
