Also, Sam and I just made calzones for dinner tonight on a whim and they turned out pretty darn good. I got a recipe for an awesome pizza dough from my bridal shower. We made the whole batch and froze the dough we didn't use and it freezes and thaws beautifully. It does expand as it freezes so give it some room to do so.
Pizza Crust
2 1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbs dry yeast
2 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs salt
6 cups flour (more or less)
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Add salt and 3 cups of the flour. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes or mix with a hand mixer. Stir in the remaining flour by hand and make a moderately stiff dough. Let rest for 10-15 minutes. Stir. Let rest 10-15 minutes. Stir. Let rest once more for 10-15 minutes. Divide into 4 portions for a thin crust, or 3 for a thick crust.
Roll out each portion with a rolling pin or toss. Lightly oil each pan with olive oil. Pat the dough to fit the pan, using a had greased with olive oil.
Place in preheated oven at 425 degrees and prebake each crust for 5-7 minutes (cooked but not browned.) Spread with sauce, toppings and mozzerella cheese. Cook each pizza for 8-10 minutes.

That looks so yummy! How is everything?
Things are going well. I love being married! It's so fun, and I love the fact that when the night comes that one of us doesn't have to go home to our parents' house! ;)
I'll have to try out the bacon cheesburger chicken- my hubby would think he was in heaven
