Beach and Butternut Squash Calzones

Image
First of all, I'd like to state the obvious: I love calzones! They're easy to make and so wonderfully customizable for whatever I've got hanging out in the fridge.  Er...maybe not ANYTHING, but at least the stuff that hasn't developed it's own ecosystem. Secondly, before I tie that statement to anything relevant (like, say, a recipe) I want to talk about my week.  Not this one.  Last one. Last week, The Huz took a week off from work so we could have our first real family vacation.  We took a trip to Albany to visit his grandfather (very enjoyable trip, though unfortunately he passed away this morning, BDE), took The Boo to the library for the first time (she had a blast in the baby room!), took a trip to the beach (deets and pics to follow), and spent the weekend out of town with some friends. All in all, it was a wonderful, though exhausting, week. Let me focus for a minute on that beach trip. Ahhh....thanks... I've been craving the beach

Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

You're gonna hate me. I hate myself for this. I made AMAZING stuffed portabella mushrooms on Tuesday, but I was so hungry that I ate them before getting any pictures. :( I know. I'll accept my punishment. But trust me. These were amazing. Served with roasted veggies=FULL MEAL OF AWESOME! Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms Portabella mushrooms 1 package garlic couscous, cooked (or whatever couscous you want to make is cool, too) Ricotta/cottage cheese Shredded mozzarella Optional: sauteed spinach, sauteed onions, fried crispy onions, Any other awesomes Wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel to clean and remove stems.  Rinsing mushrooms waterlogs them. They're little sponges. Place in a pan, gill side up. (Some people remove the gills, but I love their flavor so I keep them.) Sprinkle mushrooms with a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spread a layer of ricotta/cottage cheese on.  Don't skimp.  If you're going to add any other toppings

Hey guess what!  You can now follow The Bunny Box on Twitter! I mean, I can't promise it will be too interesting, but I'm likely to post more there than I do here. I will probably mostly use it to say what I'm cooking and share recipes I've found. Also, there may be mention of cute babies. Also, there may be random thoughts. Also, there may be nothing at all.  I promise you nothing. In any case, I'm here @BunnyBoxTweets . (Can you believe someone already had TheBunnyBox?)
