Calzones!
Calzones are great because they are so easy to make and you can throw whatever you want in them! After making these the first time (thanks to inspiration from Jessica found here), we made them again for our big Midwest road trip. They were pretty good even cold out of a cooler.
Calzones
pizza dough – I’ve only used the canned kind and got 4 fairly large or 6 smaller calzones out of 1 can. I want to try to use some homemade dough sometime…
toppings of your choice
Varieties we have tried and LOVED:
Besto-Pesto – Inspiration for this guy came from the Sunset Grille‘s Besto-Pesto sandwich
Cooked chicken
Lots of pesto
Sauteed Mushrooms
Provolone cheese
Pulled Chicken w/ Bacon and Cheddar
Pulled chicken – I cooked chicken breasts in BBQ sauce for about 3 hours on Low then shredded the chicken
Bacon
Cheddar Cheese
Preheat oven according to directions on dough.
Roll the pizza dough out and cut into however many calzones you want to make (kitchen scissors work great for this!). Roll dough out.
Put some foil on a cookie sheet and spray with PAM or olive oil.
Place dough pieces on foil and spoon some topping onto 1/2 of each piece of dough.
Fold the dough over and be sure to seal it shut.
Bake according to directions on dough.
I have found taking pictures of soup to be more challenging but you make it look easy!
I agree – soup is hard to photograph. This soup was very thick and chunky. Our bowls are all navy blue so I didn’t want to use that, so I just used my square plate since it was white.
Inspired by your post, I made this yesterday. The texture was tough for me to deal with (I blended it with a food processor), but Scott liked it. Next time I might try it without the cinnamon (and without blending it), maybe make it a little less sweet. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry you didn’t like it
It is sweeter. Have you tried the other butternut squash soup in my blog. That one isn’t so sweet. And its very creamy.
