Today's Lunch


Picture of Spinach and Ricotta Calzone Recipe

Today, I am making home made calzones for lunch.   I bought a whole wheat pizza dough from the grocery store for $.99 so it doesn't pay to make my own.  I will be splitting it into 2 and filling the calzones with fresh ricotta cheese, onions, hot peppers and pepperoni.  They will be served on a bed of tomato sauce spiced with lots of oregano and garlic.

Hash Brown and Egg Casserole
Servings: 6
Ingredients:

1 (2 pound) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 pound pork sausage
1 1/2 cups frozen chopped broccoli
1 small onion, diced
4 eggs
1 can evaporated skim milk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste (because the sausage and cheese are salty, I only add pepper)
12 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart baking dish. Place the hash brown potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.

2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir the sausage and onion until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink; drain. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and pour over the potatoes. Layer with half the Cheddar cheese, the broccoli, the sausage mixture, and the remaining Cheddar cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove cover; return casserole to the oven and bake until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Find favorite foods in a new location - PIZZA

We are in the process of moving from a suburban area not far from New York City to a rural area in the mountains of western Massachusetts. The choice of the move is mine, all mine! I have been waiting since 1985 to be able to call the Berkshires my home.

One thing that has occurred to me lately though is that I need to find some "special" foods. For example, I love Pizza! It is a weekly necessity for both my husband and I. If we miss a week, we get irritable and have withdrawal symptoms. Most people think you can't find good pizza if you get too far away from NYC. Well, we have found two places that we love. The first is called Athena's Pizza in Lee, MA. They have a full Italian menu that we haven't tried yet, but the pizza is very good. The second place we found is on Route 20, in a tiny town called Russell, MA. It is in the Russell Inn. The pizza is great and the rest of the menu is just as good. The bar is so friendly, that even though we are new to the area, we felt like we were home.


Stay tuned for the next entry about our quest for good food in the mountains.
