Moon-sized Calzone

We had some home-made pizza dough left in our fridge after a pizza party. Jose's been hinting at me that calzones would make him very happy. So I looked through the fridge for things to fill the calzone with, left over chicken sausage, half tub of ricotta cheese, a bunch of rainbow chard and some mushrooms.

Once the veggies been sauted separately, just roll out the dough and start layer things on half of the dough.

Fold the other half of the dough over and seal along the edges, brush the outside with egg wash and cut a few slits for venting.


Pop it in the oven at 350 for 30min or so and voilĂ , you have yourself a fulfilling dinner.

First time hosting friends at our new house

Sorry for not posting for a while. Lots has happened in the last two or three months. First and foremost, we have just moved to a new house a week ago. We've spent last week unpacking and putting things away.

Ceci brought a couple friends from Germany over for dinner. This is the first time we put our new dinning space to use for entertaining. Not much to write about the food. But we had a great time chatting with this couple who've been traveling around north America for the past few months and who will continue their year-long trip after a few days in Portland. Their stories are very inspiring.
