I could not have choose a better time to use Relay Foods. Last week was insane! With my birthday and work and I did not have the energy nor the time to go to the store. So I placed my order of kale, yellow onions, mushrooms, croutons, pizza dough, Italian Cheese and blood oranges (I was curious). My fridge and pantry weren't completely empty so I decided to make due with what I had and add a few things.
Now as you all know I'm a kale fanatic. Kale smoothies, juice, salad and chips are my jam. Feeling a little unhealthy from all the birthday festivities I decided to make a kale caesar salad, with grilled chicken and mushroom parmesan flatbread. I threw on my Spotify playlist and got to cooking, I might have burned myself with the oven but hey, no pain no gain aka food. Here are the results...
KALE SALAD (source- everyday maven)
2 bushels of kale
3 cloves of garlic1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Pinch of red pepper flakes
10 turns of black pepper
1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup of crushed croutons
- Wash and dry kale
- Chop kale into tiny pieces, put in a bowl and set aside
- In a smaller bowl crush garlic and add lemon juice, salt, pepper and red pepper. Once everything is mixed together slowly whisk in the olive oil.
- Then take your dressing and add to you cut up kale and massage with your hands. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes or so remove the kale from the fridge, add the parmesan and crushed croutons and toss together.
- Add some extra parmesan on top for garnish! (optional)

MUSHROOM PARMESAN FLATBREAD(source- my life as a mrs.)
1 pound of pizza dough8 ounces of thinly sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 onion
4 cloves of garlic chopped
3/4 teaspoon of salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
3/4 a cup of shaved parmesan cheese (I used an Italian blend)
flour for dusting
Olive Oil
2 teaspoons of cornmeal
- In a skillet heat up some olive oil and sauté the garlic, onion and mushrooms. When soft remove from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate so they can drain.
- Preheat your oven to 475 degrees. Then roll out your dough into three equal pieces. I could't find my rolling pin so I used a glass cup.
- I also don't have a pizza stone so I lined a cookie tray with some parchment paper and sprinkled some cornmeal on top so the dough didn't stick. Place all three pieces on the tray and bake for 2-3 minutes, poking it with a fork as it start to bubble. Then flip and bake the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the bread from the oven and change the oven setting to broil. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the bread and add the mushroom mixture and cheese. Cook until brown.
- Then try not to burn your mouth as you stuff your face with this deliciousness
