Grilled Cheese with Tomatoes and Garlic Mushroom Kale

 I wanted to try kale again, since I didn't get much of it in the Spanish Tortilla with Kale and had never had it at another time. I also saw grilled cheese with tomato in a store earlier so I made that as well to go with it.

Ingredients:
  • Grilled Cheese
    • butter
    • 2 pieces of bread
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheese, such as cheddar jack
    • 2 slices of tomato
  • Garlic Mushroom Kale
    • 2 TBSP olive oil
    • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
    • 1/2 cup mushrooms
    • 1/2 cup kale, stems removed and chopped
Directions:
1) Place a pan on medium heat and add some butter.
2) Assemble the grilled cheese and place it in the pan.
3) Heat the oil in another pan and add the garlic.
4) Once it starts simmering, add the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
5) Turn over the grilled cheese.





6) Add the kale to the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes, or until wilted.
7) Both should be done.

Roasted Vegetable Tostada

Using the green pepper, red onion and some lettuce from the Boston Organics box. Recipe taken from here.

Ingredients:
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 4 cups cherry tomatoes, chopped in half
  • 2 cups green peppers, chopped
  • 2 cups red onion, chopped
  • spray olive oil
  • garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 cups Cheddar jack cheese (and more for toppings)
  • 2 cups black beans
  • lettuce
  • sour cream
  • salsa
  • whatever else you want to put on top!
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 425F/220C.
2) Spray oil on a baking tray, place the tomatoes, peppers and onion on it and spray again. Salt and pepper.







3) Roast for 30 minutes.











4) Remove from the oven and toss with the beans and cilantro.
5) Decrease oven temperature to 375C/190F.
6) Spray each tortilla once with olive oil and dash garlic powder on it and then brush the oil and powder all over.





7) Spoon mixture evenly over tortillas and add the cheese on top.











8) Bake for 10 minutes.
9) Add the lettuce, sour cream and whatever else you like!



 Don't do this and try and make tacos. Corn tortillas are too fragile for this and they will break (as you can see the front left one is trying to do)
