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.

Yum, the grilled corn looks delicious! I so wish I had a grill to make this myself although I may try it with a grill pan!
i definitely need to try this. there’s a cuban restaurant near me that makes the best grilled corn like this, and i’ve been wanting to try making it forever. yours looks delicious!
Ummm corn with cheese and spices? You can’t go wrong! That sounds delicious!
Oh my…that is taking corn to the next level for sure! Yum!
I bookmarked this a while ago and can’t wait to try it. Um, I better not wait much longer or else there might not be any corn left to do so!
This is my favorite way to eat corn. It’s so gosh darn delicious I can’t get enough of it. Yours looks absolutely perfect.
Oh yeah, I made this too (here: http://healthyandsane.com/2010/08/new-meatless-favorites/) Couldn’t help but lighten it up a bit but it was still delicious!
