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.

Ultimate Patty Melts with Special Sauce
This patty melt recipe is phenomenal, but is nothing remotely close to a health food. I highly suggest this for an occasional treat or to accompany some beers, peers, and sports. I've developed this recipe from a combination of other recipes over time and out of practicality based on what was in my kitchen at the time of experiment. I purposely left out Worcestershire and other burger flavorings to keep it simple and not detract from the Thousand Island-like sauce. Serve with french fries or hash browns.
Vegan Pumpkin Pancakes
This vegan pumpkin pancake recipe takes on a hint of fall with the savory goodness of pumpkin, cinnamon, and pecans! Serve with your toppings of choice, including additional pecans and maple syrup.
Easy Mini Quiche
I made these for a tea last month for a Waco federation woman club. Garnish with green olives or pimiento.
