Good enough!

Who doesn't need a little amusement every day right?  Well we got our daily dose of that at dinner last night.

Two points I need to make:

A. I need to get better at taking pictures, and I will.
B. You know the saying not at that is nutirious is delicious and visa versa (or however that is spelled)? Sooo true about last night's dinner!

To start with I decided on calzones.  Yummmmo!  Love them.  Ever since my big bro worked as a chef in an Italian restaurant and taught me the perfect the calzone look, I have been wild about them.  So last night I'm feeling brilliant as I am thinking, what could be better than incorporating grains, veggies, and a little dairy to make a fabulous healthy calzone?  I made up my own pizza crust which, turned out to be the only good part.  I put a little whole wheat flour and garlic salt in a bowl, mixed in another bowl a little oil, honey, water, and a very little yeast. Bam.  Then cooked some spinach. I rolled out the pizza dough, put on some spaghetti sauce, piled it high and deep with spinach, and added a very little cheese and cilantro and fresh parsley.  I sealed up the calzones, baked them at 425 for 12 minutes.  They came out looking, amazing actually.  But because I appreacite honestly from myself as well as others, I'll tell you they weren't the greatest.  Like, at all!  Matt and I sat and laughed as we choked them down!  I kept saying things like "What's one meal out of the thousands we have had since we got married?"  Notably he didn't remind me that about 1/4 of those thousands of meals we've had together were in the first year or two when we were first married and all my meals were pretty . . . interesting.  Anyway, I give myself pretty high score for presentation and content but lets just say I would never make it on Chopped with that food last night.

Haha!

But seriously.  It was healthy and it was food.  No one is starving here and our stomachs were able to handle the food combination well enough that maybe it is some kind of weird success after all!
