I’m an Italian food gal at heart. Even though I don’t allow myself to enjoy it often, I love anything and everything Italian from stromboli to pasta to gelato, the latter being my favorite.
I miss Venice. I still have dreams of their stracciatella gelato. In fact, when we were in Baltimore, we went to a gelato place and tried their version.
One word. Disappointment.
Today’s calzone recipe is stuffed with mushrooms and spinach. I don’t know what it is about that combo but I love anything with mushrooms, spinach, and garlic. And in this case, it’s in calzone form, served with a generous helping of pasta sauce.
3 garlic cloves, minced 8-10 oz sliced mushrooms 6 oz fresh spinach leaves
1/2 c ricotta 2 oz crumbled feta
1 tsp salt
*Tomato/pasta sauce
DIRECTIONS
Prepare dough according to pizza dough directions. Once dough is allowed to rise, divide out into 4 equal balls/portions. Cover and rest for 15 minutes. In the meantime, sauté minced garlic with olive oil on med-high for 2 minutes. Add in mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes. Add spinach and salt and stir until spinach wilts. Remove from heat. Add ricotta and feta to spinach-mushroom mixture and mix well. Roll out each ball of dough into a circle. Spread spinach-cheese mixture on to the center of each portion, leaving about a 1″ edge without filling (so dough can seal). Fold in half and pinch edges to seal. Place on well-oiled baking sheet at least 1″ apart. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes. *Serve with tomato sauce.

Every season I find some new trend to love. This spring/summer it’s cold shoulder tops. Initially and a bit hesitantly, they made their debut last year throughout a few stores here and there but this season, they’ve appeared full-fledged in every single store. You can spot them everywhere from Nordstrom to TJ Maxx to Target. And best of all,…

Today’s recipe is a simple peanut butter oatmeal breakfast smoothie that truly can double as dessert. It’s not low in calories (darn you peanut butter for raising the bar) but it is healthy and very filling, cutting out the incessant need for snacking that usually succeeds holiday binging. Sweet enough for dessert and wholesome enough…
**sponsored by zappos** We drove down to North Carolina last week because A wanted to attend a furniture trade show in the furniture capital of the USA: High Point. There’s really nothing to do in the area so I took the pups on a hike while he visited a few vendors’ booths and then we…
Good morning! Nothing seems more fitting today than a tasty recipe for some soft, buttery and flaky brioche rolls, best fresh out of the oven (or warmed up). I’ll be honest – these are not “light” rolls but they are OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. They’re easy to make but sound super fancy – think Valentines…
