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.

Sweet and Sour Borscht Shooters
This is the classic sweet and sour summer beet soup served as a shooter any time of the year. You can add a little vodka to it if you like, but I usually leave it out. The piquant taste is enough for us. Fix a tray of shooters at once so people can just help themselves.
Wet Burrito
This is a recipe for wet burritos baked in a casserole dish with meat and beans in the traditional West Michigan style!
