…Christmas!

I know we are crazy, this weekend one of my girlfriends came over and we spent the entire Saturday afternoon/evening making crafts for Christmas gifts. We also enjoyed this wonderful pizza that was so delicious.

Kale, Squash and Apple White Pizza

Recipe:

  • 1 whole wheat pizza crust (I buy prepared dough from our health food store)
  • 1/2 delicata squash, thinly sliced and roasted at 375F for 25 minutes
  • 2-3 cups of dinosaur kale, chopped and sauteed with 1T olive oil and 1T garlic until soft
  • 1 small apple sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced tofu, sauteed in 1T olive oil and 1T garlic until browned
  • Garlic Base- 2T Vegan margarine, 1/2T vegan parmesan and 3 cloves of roasted garlic; blend to a paste
  • red chili flakes, optional
  • salt and pepper

Preheat your oven to 450F.

Roll out your dough and place on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal. Spread the garlic base on your pizza and then begin to place on all of the toppings.  Sprinkle with chili flakes if desired and a little salt and pepper.

Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is brown.

Last night was all about kale-

I made kale chips which are extremely easy and yummy to make. Just take some dinosaur kale and toss with shoyu, olive oil, garlic powder and onion powder and dehydrate at 115 for 4-6 hours.

Then I made some kale and white bean soup sooooo goood:
2 cans of canellni beans
4 cups vegetable broth
4 cups of kale cut into bite sized pieces
2 carrots diced
4 celery stalks diced
1 medium onion diced
2 heading tablespoons of nutritional yeast
salt and pepper to taste

I sautee the onions, carrots and celery with a little oil until soft. Add in one can of beans and mash up this will thicken the soup. Then toss in the kale and stir everything together. Add the broth and other can of beans and bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer for 15min. Add the nutritioinal yeast and salt and pepper to taste. then gobble it up.
