Cookbook Challenge: Day One.

Tonight, as promised, we had "Cowboy Calzones" from The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Technically, I made two recipes from her book. The pizza crust, and the calzones themselves. I did modify them a little, which took them from "Cowboy Calzones" to normal calzones. It's okay though. They were for Chris, and Chris is not a cowboy.
(Modifications: The recipe called for sausage, ground beef, onion, mozzarella, monterey jack, ricotta, Rotel, and an egg. I skipped the egg, monterey jack, and ricotta, and added pepperoni and bacon pieces.)

I also made The Best Spinach Salad. Ever. from PW's blog since I didn't get around to making it last week. I knew Chris would never touch this salad, and I'm not a fan of calzones, so it worked out well.

Both recipes were...hits! Chris really liked the calzone, and that salad really is, "the best spinach salad ever."



Bring on Day Two!
