Calzones

Calzones
-Heidi P.

This recipe is a favorite in our house because it's versatile and easy.  You can mix it up and use whatever ingredients you have on hand and whatever flavor combination you want  Plus, if John is in the mood for ham and cheese and I'm in the mood for feta and spinach, we can each have what we want!

1 can (13.8 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust
16 slices  Deli Honey Ham
1 cup Shredded Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese
1/4 cup Ranch Dressing
1 tomato, cut into 8 thin slices

Other great combinations taste-tested include:
Pepperoni and Cheese
Spinach and Feta
Bacon and Onion

Heat oven to 400°F. Unroll pizza dough on lightly floured surface. Pat out dough to form 16x12-inch rectangle. Cut into quarters.

Top dough with ham to within 1/2 inch of sides. Mix cheese and dressing; spread on ham. Top with tomatoes. Fold each rectangle in half; seal edges with fork. Put on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.

Bake 16 to 18 min. or until golden brown.

Serve with a side salad and some pasta/pizza sauce for dipping.  Delicious!

Smoked Sausage & Rice

Sausage & Rice
-Christine B.

Smoked sausage
One box Zatarains Jambalaya Rice

Serve with a fresh garden salad.

1. Slice sausage into small pieces and pan fry on medium heat until browned on both sides.

2. Cook rice according to package directions.

When the rice and sausage are done, you can combine them in one bowl or have them separate. My son, Joe, doesn't like the rice because it's a little spicy for him, so we have to keep them separate. The salad is a nice contrast of texture and flavor to the rice and sausage.

Start to finish - about 30 minutes.
