Four Foods on Friday 77

Here’s this week’s questions from Val at Fun, Crafts and Recipes. Play along in the comments if you’d like!

Pillsbury Crescent Calzones

For the last three years, we’ve been having pizza for dinner on Friday. Sometimes I buy a couple of DiGiornos and a California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza for me, and sometimes we get pizza delivered from Dominos or one of the two local pizza chains nearby.

This recipe, created by the Campbell’s Kitchen, uses ingredients that I always have on hand.

Chicken Fajita Salad

This recipe from Everyday with Rachael Ray requires some skill with the grill (ha!) but if you are up for the challenge, I think this sounds incredibly good!
