It has been way too long since I’ve made a pizza! Trader Joe’s pizza crust makes it too easy not to, and it’s also really fun and easy to have a pizza party. I had half a bunch of kale left over from my Thanksgiving quiche, and was looking up recipes for inspiration. I came across a pizza recipe on epicurious with mozzarella, goat cheese, and kale. I threw on some capers (because I will never say no to a caper on a pizza) and lots of red pepper flakes. Delish! Plus, all the greens mitigate the damage from the cheese. Trust me.

Sauceless pizzas are the best, just brush a slick of olive oil on thinly rolled out crust, and top as you please. I sauteed the kale until nice and tender with just a bit of salt, and used about 8 oz. of mozzarella and 2 oz. of goat cheese. Added a tablespoon of chopped capers for tang. Cooked at 450 on just a regular cookie sheet (look, I’d love a pizza stone but I only have so much room in my kitchen) for about 20 minutes and it was good to go.
