Italian Tonight!

This week's featured recipe is Beef 'n Cheese Calzone and if a favorite among kids of all ages. The one thing I like about this recipe besides it's good taste, is that it is so versatile. You can fill the pizza crust with any meat, vegetable or cheese that you and your family like. This is definately a one dish meal because you have almost all of the food groups included in this recipe. It is so simple that you can get your kids or grandkids involved in preparing this easy dish. It is also packed with many vitamins and other nutritents that our bodies need. The meat gives us protein that we need to build and repair all body tissue, the vegetables are packed with Vitamin C that we need to aid in healing wounds and over course the cheese gives us calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Have your kids get involved in selecting the ingredients and you could even make two different calzone's to fit everyone's taste buds. Don't forget the pizza or spaghetti sauce for dipping! To complete this meal serve with a tossed salad and orange slices. I hope you and your family will enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.
