Calzones

Tonight we had some friends over for dinner so I made one of my favorite meals.  They all said they loved it, so either it really is good, or my friends are just too nice.  One asked for the recipe because her husband ate three.  So there's that.  

Sorry, I'm no good at tutorials.  But here is the recipe!  I was introduced to this by a lovely woman in my ward who had the Activity Day Girls make these for me after I had a baby.  I've only altered it slightly since then.

The kids inhaled the leftovers for lunch today and I didn't think fast enough to get a picture, so this is the best I've got.  They turn out to be rectangular in shape and this is one of the short ends.
