The calzones were hard to make. The filling was easy, but it was hard for me to wrap them up properly. Although they tasted good at the end, they didn't look pretty! My husband loved the filling and ended up disassembling the calzone and eating the filling over rice. In the future I would add 1-2 more bell peppers and just eat it over rice instead of making calzones.
0 HelpfulThis was true comfort food! I served the calzones with homemade pizza sauce on the side. I made extra filling and used it as a topping on gluten-free pizza crust for my child who needs to eat GF.
0 HelpfulLOVED the simple oregano dressing for the salad so much I went back for seconds after the kids went to bed.
0 HelpfulI did it as a pizza instead of calzone but ended up having to eat it with knife and fork anyway. Very tasty!
