I got this recipe for cranberry cream cheese dip from a neighbor while living in Germany and modified it a little. She was an American, too. It was always a hit at every get-together we had! Fresh cranberries with jalapeños, sugar, green onions, and cilantro make for great salsa. Add the cream cheese, and you have a great dip! Serve with Ritz crackers or Wheat Thins.

Chef John's Ham and Cheese Calzones
Today calzones are most commonly stuffed with the exact same toppings that go on a pizza which, besides the crust issue, was one of my main problems with it. I mean, why not just fold a pizza in half, and call it a day? So, I decided to do what I hear is a more traditional filling featuring ricotta, fresh mozzarella, and ham. The result was as enjoyable as it was surprising.
