Cheeseburger Calzone

Hey there! Nommie here with what Chris Redfield made today for our dinner. It's a Cheeseburger Calzone from the Pampered Chef book his mom got.

I'm a big fan of the chopper from Pampered Chef. It makes a lot of things a whoooole lot easier. Although the eyes will still water from the onions.

Now it doesn't look delish yet because this is it without the meat. It actually looks really gross now that I look at it. Ew.

We put some melted butter on the topso the grated parmasan cheese would stick. Now it looks really yummy even though its not even baked.

Here's it out of the oven! It looks really good and goldeny. I totally loveeee how this thing smells I'm tellnig everyone that this smells like the most delicious cheeseburger with toppings you could ever imagine.

And here it is! It looks good but it tastes even better than it looks! Here's the recipe from Pampered Chef... You don't have to use all the fancy tools they do and you can pick and choose basically whatever you'd want in it.

Cheeseburger Stuffed Calzone
2 packages (11 oz. each) refrigerated French bread dough, divided
6 slices (3/4 oz. each) American pasteurized process cheese food
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup dill pickle slices, diced
3/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 garlic clove, pressed
1 pound 95% lean ground beef, cooked, crumbled and drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup (1 oz.) grated fresh Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Unroll one package of the bread dough onto Large Round Stone; roll and stretch to edge of baking stone using Baker's Roller. Cut cheese slices in half and arrange evenly over dough to within 1 inch of edge.

2. Chop onion using Food Chopper. Dice pickles using Utility Knife. In Classis Batter Bowl, combine onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; mix well. Add cooked ground beef; mix well. Spoon meat mixture over cheese; spread evenly. Unroll remaining dough directly over filling by matching top edges of dough and shaping to fit as dough is unrolled. Trim excess dough from corners using Pizza Cutter, forming an even edge. Roll and crimp edges to seal.

3. Drizzle oil over dough; spread evenly. If desired, grate Parmesan cheese over dough using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Using Pizza Cutter, make three crisscross cuts, about 6 inches long, across center of dough to vent. Bake 18-20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cut into wedges. Serve with toppings, if desired.
Yield: 8 servings

Cooking/Baking party :)

So my boyfriend co-hosted (originally he would have been the host haha) of a cooking/baking party and so we have some pictures of the two things we have baked. But frist a touching photo of my boyfriend Chris Redfield and the doggy he was dog sitting.

So now Nommie will post the cake made by Yum Yums. It was a strawberry vanilla cake. She makes everything herself but to my knowledge she never actually writes the recipe down? So everything (but the strawberrys, she can't make those) was made by her.

Delicious right? So now for my banana bread where the recipe I got from http://castirondarling.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-ever-banana-bread.html through the livejournal community of bakebakebake. I changed it around a bit, and used vanilla yogurt instead of plain yogurt and put some chocolate chips in and basically all the measurements were eyeballed (courtesy of Chris Redfield) because al the measuring tools were at my house xD

The next time I bake we have all decided we should video tape it because it is filled with drama. Eggshell drama, almost microwaving metal drama and the occasional dancing.

In the above picture you can see how Chris Redfield went crazy with the Pam. The Pam was butter flavored though so it didn't do anything to make the cake worse. All in all it was a yummy banana bread although it seemed like it took lnoger than the 15 minutes as said by the blog I got in on. It was more like... 45 minutes xD There's something wrong with the oven at Chris'.

First post! Sharks :)

Hello there :D This is the new blog for both Nommie and Yum Yums :) We're both new to blogging so hopefully we catch on quick! So this is the first post and I'll put up the pictures of cupcakes I made for my sister for her birthday. The designs are from the Book, Hello, Cupcake! so look that up for some fun stuff too :)
