How are ya? Are you good? That's great, if all the questions were positive and assured. If not, I hope things get better for you. I know it is a rough road or time for you, however, it will only last for a little while and then before you know it it's over. Trust me, I have been going through quite a rough week and it felt like it was not going to get easier. More so, every negative thing you could imagine in your mind, came across mine and it was not fun. However, with some good friends and people in my circle, they changed my perspective and told me the sun still shines during the rain, its just the clouds you see that cause the deception. So be encouraged my friends and enjoy a laugh or two in the rain.
By the way, doesn't this pic look super fun. The only way I will ever have paint in this thick mane of mine, is if this is washable. I am sure it is but you can never be too careful, but the point is too laugh and smile still. Don't let others of this crazy world still your joy.
However, let's talk dishes and when I mean that, I mean fooooooooddddd. Yes, don't we love it, some more than others, but the point is. With the holidays coming around the corner, there will be no funny business, when your elder is in the kitchen throwing down a storm and your mouth waters at that savoring delight soon to be put on the table. So here is one of the dishes that I found most appeasing for our holiday coming up. In what mood to put you in then in a "hungry mood" for these festivities.
And many of us are this right here, just saying:
So here is the dish I thought was quite interesting for halloween and the perfect movie to watch with this would be, "Hocus Pocus" I love that movie during this time. All time kid favorites of mine back in the day (wow I am old). Can anyone say Mummy Calzone?!
Ingredients:
·
2 batches of Pizza Dough
·
1 batch of Meatballs
·
1 cup Ricotta Cheese
·
1½ cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
·
2 tsp garlic powder
·
2 tsp dried basil leaves
·
½ cup sliced black olives
·
5 oz sliced mushrooms
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, basil, mushrooms and olives into a large bowl, including the meatballs (reserving a few meatballs and sliced olives for the mummy eyes) and mix together.
- Divide pizza dough into 8 equal dough balls.
- Roll out dough into small circles, and place a nice helping of Ricotta mixture in the center.
- Take a knife and make slices in the dough horizontally along the sides of the mixture, leaving a larger slice on the top and bottom.
- Fold the bottom of the calzone up towards the top.
- Start over-lapping the dough across the body of the mummy from the bottom working your way up to the top.
- Leave room for the eyes (two meatballs with olives) to stick out the top. Place on a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Brush with a lightly beaten egg and bake for 30 minutes.
- Serve with a small dish of marinara or spaghetti sauce
Have a good day and enjoy.
