This calzone pizza dough is ready in a snap; my kids love it! My dear chef friend Darrin Gleason shared this recipe with me over ten years ago while attending college. It has been a go-to recipe for my family for all these years, and I thought I should share it with my cooking community.

Tex-Mex Burger with Cajun Mayo
This Tex-Mex burger with Cajun mayo recipe yields a full-flavor, beefy burger that will tantalize your taste buds. The Cajun mayonnaise is a jazzy way to spice up any basic bland burger.
Korean Barbecued Rack of Lamb
This Korean rack of lamb recipe show's how lamb's subtly sweet gaminess works perfectly with the funky goodness of gochujang chile paste. The salt and sugar content of the simple marinade acts as a brine for the lamb, producing a juicy interior when soaked overnight. In the final stage, the marinade is reduced, doubling as a sauce. I love using the rack for this since it's more tender, easier to work with than the leg, and a little more user-friendly than chops.
