Broccoli And Cheese Calzones

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and chopped
• 1 (10 ounce) prepared refrigerated pizza dough
• 3 green onions, chopped (white and light green parts)
• 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

PREPARATION:
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 425. In a med bowl, mix the broccoli, green onions, ricotta, gorgonzola, parmesan and fontina. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 2. Sprinkle a large baking sheet with flour. Unfold the dough and gently stretch and/or roll the dough to an 11-inch square; cut the dough in half diagonally, forming 2 triangles. Place half of the filling in the center of each traingle. Fold one side of each triangle over the filling, forming 2 triangle calzones. Press the edges of the dough to seal. Cut 3 slits in the top of each to allow steam to escape.
Step 3. Bake the calzones for about 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot with marinara poured on top or on the side to dip.

Twice Baked Potato Poppers

Step 4. Mash scooped-out potato centers in a bowl with green salsa and butter; season with salt and black pepper.
Step 5. Spoon the mixture lightly into the hollowed-out potatoes; do not overfill. Top each filled potato half with a pinch of white Cheddar cheese.
Step 6. Turn on the oven's broiler.
Step 7. Place potatoes under the broiler about 6 inches from the heat source until tops are browned, about 5 minutes.

Alan's Vegetarian Vegan Bean And Rice Burger Mashup

INGREDIENTS:
• 1 lb uncooked black beans
• 1 lb uncooked pinto beans
• 2 cups uncooked brown rice
• 1 (15 ounce) container breadcrumbs
• 2 (16 ounce) bottles picante sauce
• 6 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 2 tablespoons oregano
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (optional)

PREPARATION:
Step 1. Soak beans in a large pot, covered (quick soak method: bring to boil, then turn off the heat, leave covered for 1 1/2 hours).
Step 2. Drain beans and refill pot with fresh water, cover, bring to a boil again, simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Drain again and let cool at room temperature for at least 5-10 minutes (don't worry about using warm water, we aren't worried about keeping the beans in tact).
Step 3. About halfway through the cook time for the beans, start cooking the brown rice. Add 4 cups of water and 2 cups rice to a pot, covered. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30-40 minutes (or as directed on package).
Step 4. Combine all seasonings and breadcrumbs in a large bowl (I combined the seasoning in one bowl to mix it, then divided it between 3 large bowls to prepare for the large amount of food this makes).
Step 5. Once both the rice and beans have cooled enough to be able to mix by hand, combine the beans and rice (I found that the large pot I used for the beans had enough room to add and mix up the rice).
Step 6. Combine all of the dry seasoning with the beans and rice mixture (or if you split the seasoning up between multiple bowls, split up equal amounts of the bean and rice mixture into each bowl).
Step 7. Start mashing! I start off using a potato masher, but always end up using my hands to get the beans and rice mashed up enough. Slowly add the picante sauce until you get the right texture for you (I prefer at least 2 pounds in this recipe, use less for a tougher/dryer mix).
