    Calzone Rolls

    I have all sorts of recipes that I've been wanting to make for the blog but I took the weekend off from recipe development. It's hard for me to take a weekend off because even though I still get to cook for the week, I always look forward to working on the blog post during my lunch breaks that week. So glad I still had this recipe in my "queue" to keep me entertained!

    So the reason I took the weekend off was because I was working on a project. I've started a real email newsletter! If that's not as exciting to you as it is to me, let me explain. This newsletter allows me to send you updates of everything that's going on, including new recipes. I also have some email-exclusive content planned, although it's a bit far down the road for the moment. Right now, I just have an RSS style email sent to you every time a new post is published since I'm just starting out. But I think it will be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to really digging into this new piece of my blog!

    Now, if you're confused and thinking, "but I already get email notifications of your new posts from WordPress", those are something different and I don't have any control over those emails. Feel free to unsubscribe from those and sign up for the newsletter in the sidebar instead! (That's down towards the bottom of the page for the 60% of you reading this on your phones :))

    Remember back in February when I contributed a bunch of recipes to Posh Paleo Magazine? We got together again and this time, they had me write an article - "7 Clever Uses For Your Blender Bottle". I was particularly excited to work on this because I've always loved writing and I got to combine that with my favorite subject - cooking! The article can be found in their April issue, which you can download for free by subscribing on their website. I've been enjoying their magazine so far and I think either the March or April issue is my favorite. They always choose a cute theme to go with the current month. You'll have to check it out.

    If you've read this far into this blog post, you're probably growing impatient waiting for me to explain what the heck a calzone roll is. I dunno, I made it up. I just thought it would be a nicer presentation of a traditional calzone. I learned that sometimes Stromboli is rolled up this way and sliced after baking but apparently that's not the way Stromboli is typically made. Besides, I already picked out the recipe name and used it in the recipe, image texts, and Pinterest image by the time I learned that. Sunk cost fallacy.

    I think these would make a cute appetizer for a party. Plus, you dip them in pizza sauce and it's like an unwritten law that dip foods belong at parties. Each batch makes 6 individual rolls. I would say 2-3 rolls is a good serving as an entrée. I also think that you should make cinnamon rolls for dessert to stick with the theme.

    Ingredients

    • 4 oz ground Italian sausage
    • ½ Tbsp fat, I used bacon fat
    • ¼ green bell pepper, diced small
    • ¼ onion, diced small
    • 1 batch multi-purpose dough, plus extra tapioca starch for dusting
    • 2.5 oz pepperoni slices
    • 1 C mozzarella or your choice of dairy free cheese, optional
    • 5-10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
    • 1 C pizza sauce

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    2. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, brown and crumble your Italian sausage until fully cooked. Set aside.
    3. Turn heat down to medium and melt the fat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
    4. Lightly dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with tapioca starch. Roll out dough into a ¼ inch thick square.
    5. Layer the pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell pepper, onion, mozzarella, and basil on the dough, leaving about a ¾ inch strip of the dough uncovered at the end farthest from you.
    6. Carefully lift the end of the dough closest to you and begin rolling it away from you to form it into a log.
    7. If the two ends of the log are jagged, you may cut those off. Cut the log in half into two equal sized logs. Cut each of those into thirds so you end up with 6 equal sized slices that look like cinnamon rolls.
    8. Line a metal baking dish with parchment paper and place the rolls cut side down in the dish. Bake 15 minutes or until dough has firmed up. You may bake an additional 5 minutes if you like the dough browned more.
    9. Once the rolls are cool enough to handle, serve them with hot pizza sauce for dipping.

    Notes

    If the dough starts to crack, it needs more water. Try adding a half tablespoon at a time until the dough is smooth.
    I always recommend using painters tape to secure some parchment paper to a clean countertop so you can roll out your dough. You will still need to dust it with some tapioca starch but it makes cleanup easier and you can lift up one end of the paper to get started rolling up the dough.

    About Meagan

    I started out with a passion for creating unique recipes and decorating cakes. In June of 2012, I discovered I was not only severely gluten intolerant but also, many of the foods I was eating I simply couldn't include in my diet anymore. Fortunately, my love for trying new recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods made re-learning how to cook seem more like a fun challenge than an unfortunate circumstance. I'm so happy to say that my dietary restrictions haven't stopped me from doing what I love. I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do.

    I was going to write some jokes about logging but I was going to write some jokes about logging but you wooden get them. Because they’re super dumb. Ok, I’ll share anyway.
.
How do lumberjacks find a missing exponent?
By using LOGarithms
.
What did the lumberjack wear to work on casual Friday?
His favorite Tree-shirt
.
When is the most stressful time of year for a tree?
Sept-timber
.
I told you they were bad, right? 😅 Cut me some slack, they were for a kids birthday party. Oh, and I have more…
.
Why did the logger get a gym membership?
He wanted to get lumber jacked 💪
.
Why couldn’t the tree answer the riddle?
He was stumped
.
What kind of beer do lumberjacks drink?
Loggers 🍻
.
Why did the logger have back pain?
He didn’t have enough lumber support
.
Embarrassingly enough, I have a bunch more but I’ll save them for a project in a later blog post. For now, I just have the cake.
.
This is a 2 part, absolutely massive blog post on making this logging scene cake from start to finish. The cake is chocolate and vanilla layers with cookies & cream filling. And as always, gluten free and dairy free.

    Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 Bu Big news: I cleaned my house the other day 😅 But seriously, it’s amazing how much having a clean space can help. My energy levels are completely uncalled for considering we’re well beyond a month of Erika barely sleeping at night and at least one family member dealing with a cold. I’m so tired of snot 😩 And being responsible for 3 peoples noses. We’re trying to graduate one nose to self-care but apparently the art of nose blowing takes a lot more boxes of tissues to master. We’ll get there.
.
Ok enough gross stuff. My finally clean again space has made me so much more focused and motivated to get things done. I’ve burned through most of my work to-do list and made it to the fun stuff that I don’t have to do but just want to. And since I was at that point, I decided to do something for myself by working on my blog. And I went a little overboard by working on 5 blog posts at once. I probably won’t get through them all but I have 3 ready so far.
.
This first post is a 30 minute ground beef stroganoff that I made almost 3 years ago. I didn’t do a great job writing down the recipe so I wasn’t able to post it until I figured out what I forgot to write down. Figured it out the other day and it was so good!

Also wrote a recap on everything that’s been going on for the past year since I would normally write about it in my blog posts but haven’t written anything! I don’t know when I’ll be back on there. I’ve only had time for site maintenance and I really miss blogging but I’ll be back on once things slow down. The link to the new post is in my profile!

    I almost didn’t make this into a casserole becau I almost didn’t make this into a casserole because the sauce and pasta combined made a delicious side dish on their own! @beldolcefood #sponsored my most recent blog post and provided me with their new gluten free fusilli and penne to try out. I used the fusilli in this recipe and the sauce is a creamy, cheesy enchilada sauce made from just 3 ingredients.
.
I ended up adding taco meat, fire roasted tomatoes, corn, black beans, and dairy free cheese to make a taco noodle casserole. Then we ate it all and I made it again! This is one of those recipes that will be going in our regular meal rotation.
.
This is a pretty versatile recipe. It can be made vegan just by leaving out the meat and it’s just as good. And as I said earlier, the pasta with just the sauce makes a really good side dish. You can also top it with whatever you like such as cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, scallions, or salsa.

    I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers t I’ll just say it - I’m one of those bloggers that makes cakes for their blogs “birthdays”. Or uses the blog birthdays as an excuse to make yet another cake recipe....yeah, that’s probably more accurate.
.
Definitely felt like I needed a good excuse for this one because it’s my fifth variation of gooey butter cake! However, my site is seven years old so maybe I should have had seven gooey butter cakes ready to go? Guess I’d better get caught up before year eight 😉
.
Anyways, I really enjoyed this carrot cake variation of gooey butter cake. The cake layer/crust swaps out the yellow cake mix with spice cake mix and I added in some shredded carrots and raisins. I kept the “gooey” top layer the same except that I topped it with a sprinkle of cinnamon and additional raisins before baking.

    Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The carame Here are a few last minute treat ideas! The caramel stuffed crispy rice treats recipe is written below. The other recipes (gooey butter cookies, salted caramel turtles, and pumpkin snickerdoodles) can be found at the link in my bio!
.
CARAMEL STUFFED CRISPY RICE TREATS
.
INGREDIENTS
.
• ¼ C dairy free butter, divided
• 4 C mini marshmallows (regular and vegan both work), divided
• 6 C gluten free rice cereal *see notes*
• 1 tsp vanilla extract, divided
• 10-11 oz dairy free chewy caramels
• 11.25 oz can sweetened condensed coconut milk
.
DIRECTIONS
.
1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the dairy free butter in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. Add 2 cups of marshmallows and stir until they are melted with no lumps.
2. Remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp of vanilla then gently fold in 3 cups of cereal until it is well-combined with the marshmallows.
3. Using wet hands, press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 7x11 inch casserole dish and set aside.
4. Unwrap the caramels and add them along with the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir often to avoid burning. Once this has turned to a completely smooth sauce, pour over the cereal layer.
5. Make your top cereal layer by repeating steps 1 and 2. Distribute this evenly over the caramel layer and pat down with wet hands.
6. Once the treats have cooled down, they will firm up and hold their shape when cut. Cut into squares and serve.
.
NOTES
.
• Potential allergens contained in this recipe may vary due to brands of ingredients used, product reformulations, etc. Please verify that all your ingredients are safe for you to consume and always be mindful of allergen cross contamination while cooking.
• Double check that the cereal you use is gluten free. At least one brand carries 2 different versions of rice cereal and only one is GF.
• Don't make both cereal layers in one large batch then divide it up. The top layer will cool and firm up before you can layer it on which will make the caramel seep out when you press it down.
