OOTD:: Travelling

If you guys are like me, you probably spend a lot of time trying to figure out what to wear, whether that's to a lunchdate, school, work, or even the airport.  You just never know who you may run into or what will happen! 

Saying that, I think going out in general, you should always look appropriate.  Yes, even on flights where you might just sleep away anyways.

Going to the airport, I always want to look casual chic.  Because yes, you still want to be comfy.  Here are my few tidbits on traveling::

• Throwing on a cute hate will eliminate having to do your hair.
• Either layer up and bring  scarf or cardigan, because no matter how hot it may be outside, it is usually colder in the airport and on the plane.
• If you are carrying on, make sure it's a rolling luggage.. your shoulders will thank you!
• Pack very light if you are carrying on! For me, the only luggage I had was carry on, and being gone for 2 weeks, it sufficed. Pack alot of basics and bring jewelry or something small to change and that will do the trick!  Try to plan your day-to-day outfits before you pack.

Safe travels everyone!  Hope you enjoyed your weekend and stuffed your faces with the calzones recipe(http://poojatiwari143.blogspot.com/2013/05/whats-to-eat.html)!

What's to Eat?? Spinach and Green Pepper Calzones

Spinach and green pepper calzones!

My two favorite calzones are spinach with cheese and also spinach, green peppers, and onions.  My mouth waters at the thought of it!  It is fairly easy to make and only takes about 30 minutes of your time.
What you will need::
a bag pizza dough works fine
marinara sauce
ricotta cheese
mozzarella cheese
flour
spinach
green peppers
onions
garlic
spices to taste

Prepping:::
Spinach::
First start by cooking 1/2 a bag of spinach and waiting for it to wilter some. Add  1/3 of a spoon of diced garlic and mix around until its ready.  You will then have your spinach done.

Sauce:: Take your favorite marinara sauce and add whatever spice you like to it.  This will be the marinara you would put inside and also as a side dipper sauce.

Other prep work:: cut up green peppers and onions and grate your mozzarella cheese.

Next, grab your dough and start playing with it to soften it up so it becomes easier to manage.  Add flour so it helps with keeping the shape and in the overall process.  

Shape a small piece of your dough in a circular shape to form the calzone.

 Add your stuffing, which in my case would be marinara sauce, green peppers, onions, spinach, and mozzarella cheese, a little ricotta cheese, and spices to taste. Be sure to put this on one half of the dough.

Fold the dough over, preferably the side that is empty, and take a fork and start gently pressing down on the sides, securing a closure.  I also like to poke a hole or two at the top to let some steam out while its baking.

Put your calzones on a lightly greased sheet and cook at 425 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until nicely brown on the sides and top.

Now you are ready to enjoy some delicious yummy calzones!

Enjoy! Be sure to check back tomorrow for Friday Favorites and my OOTD traveling!
