Calzones

As I blogged about before, we have pizza every Friday evening.  Today my eldest daughter had to rush off to swimming right away so I thought I'd tackle the calzone.  Easy enough to finish eating in the van if need be, and I could make everybody's a little bit different.  As it turned out I was also able to make enough to freeze for a few lunches in the next couple of weeks.  We had spinach and feta, veggie pepperoni and cheese, red and green pepper, and some with all of the above.  They were a giant hit, and will definitely be added to our regular meal rotation.
