I LOVE what this CSA has done for my diet. I’m definitely eating healthier than ever and incorporating way more whole foods into my diet.  But I’ll be real: sometimes I just want to eat something that feels like junk for dinner. Enter the stromboli – a great way to fulfill your pizza cravings but without all the guilt, grease, and additives of frozen or delivery.

Sure, this recipe is light on the veggies with its salami, cheese, and banana peppers, but it would be great to add peppers and onions or even shredded kale to the fillings to bulk up this meal. This recipe includes homemade dough, but if you’re in a time crunch feel free to substitute pre-made pizza dough instead. After the dough is stretched into a rectangle, it’s layered with filling ingredients of your choice, rolled up, and baked until golden brown.
