I was up at 5:50 this morning with a poor teething baby, so what else should I do besides bake a pan of brownies and make some homemade calzones? For those of you that think this sounds daunting, please know, that making calzones is quite easy and fast. You can go to my recipes page and see the recipe I have for homemade calzones. It takes about 7 min to prep and knead the dough, and then for these mini calzones you’ll want to put them in the oven at 425ยบ for about 20 minutes, turning them the last 5 to brown both sides. Paired with marinara sauce, it’s a great lunch and kids finger food. My kids came home today with empty lunchboxes and claimed “we loved lunch today Mom!”. Which means, I’m doing my job ;)

Ooooh I bet I could make the dough for those gluten free and Randy would love those. Great ideas Beth. Thanks!
