4 Cheese White Pizza

Don't like Red Sauce? Or want something Different? Here is your answer...

Life is busy. You know the dots on your calendars' on Ipod's, phones etc. Well, I have a dot every day. For the exception of Sunday, although I am busy on that day too.

I am not complaining. I enjoy doing what I do. But something gets neglected. And lately, it is my blog. Sorry. 

I have to say, every time I do blog, I love it. And I won't stop, even though I am delayed. 

But on to food...

Pull Apart Sticky Bites

Everyone loves these. Warmth. Gooey. Satisfies EVERY Sweet Tooth.

The best part about this is the dough. Super easy. I use my Pizza Dough recipe. And it doesn't even need to rise. Let it sit for a few minutes after pouring over the "Sticky" and cook. 

Enjoy! Over and Over again! This is one of my favorites because it is like eating little pieces of cinnamon rolls. YUM!!!

And sorry for lack of posts this month. I don't want to give excuses. So I won't. Such is life. And life it good.

Italian Stromboli

A family favorite. Well, a favorite for most people I am sure. If not, it soon might be.

Surprisingly, this does not take a lot of effort and goes quickly. You can make any type of Stromboli you like. Add veggies, different meats, different cheeses, but save the sauce for later...after it is cooked. Typically, Stromboli is meant to be rolled and the sauce is not added inside. After is is cooked, you dip or spread warm sauce on top of the Stromboli. The reason for this is if you did add sauce to the inside, it might turn out too doughy and soft. On the other hand, if you made calzones, you can add some sauce inside because the dough is not rolled.

I have learned something about myself lately. I am not one to have an empty plate. Meaning...the food I eat~I EAT and I need to always be doing projects. I just painted a few walls in my house yesterday and have big plans to do some decorating. I am going to paint my kitchen cabinets black and do some other projects. See? Empty plate: I think not. 

I tried to blog about Lasagna a few days ago and our computer is having issues. Come ON!!! What the crazy? I do not like a slow computer. Grrrrumble! 

Ok. So, stromboli...what will you put in your stromboli?

3 Cheese Tomato-Spinach Calzones with Pesto

Now, what is a Calzone? What is the difference between Calzones and Stromboli? Well, I will tell you....

Stromboli is rolled. Almost like Cinnamon Rolls, but pizza like. Stromboli does not typically have sauce inside the dough...you dip it in sauce. Now, Calzones are not rolled, but folded and they might have sauce inside. Calzones are individually proportioned and Stromboli you slice like cinnamon rolls. Does that help?

I love the pizza family. Italian food is amazing. Loved by so many. A favorite of so many. Growing up Lasagna was my favorite food.

I love to get creative with pizza's and calzones. Yes. What is not to love?

You could have a family night and "make your own Calzone night" Make the dough and have several toppings for your family to put inside their calzone. Make it fun and enjoyable to eat. Or not. Your choice.
