Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms

It’s been a whirl wind of a week.  It started off with another polar vortex and a two day off-site at the “Marketing The PepsiCo Way” training (not a fun time getting over to McCormick Place in -12 degree weather and even worse wind chills).  On the flip side though, if I ever visit Antarctica, I have learned the art of dressing in layers:  tights, winter running leggings, wool knee socks (thanks mom), wool dress, turtleneck, sweater, two scarves, fleece headband, two pairs of gloves, Uggs, long puffy jacket with hood – takes me a while to de-robe once I get to work. 

Homemade Calzone

When I was growing up, calzones were a staple in our house.  It was something fun and customizable. Everyone could make their own (which decreased the number of arguments of what kind of pizza we were having).  And it was always fun seeing the dough rise. This weekend, I needed to use up some food in my fridge before it went bad and I thought this would be a great way to do it.  I had most of the ingredients in my fridge below, but feel free to make your own version…pepperoni and green peppers, veggie delight, chicken and spinach, anything your heart desires!  I decided to make one large calzone, but feel free to cut the dough in two.  Enjoy!
