Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sammies

Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sammies

I just made these Sammies for my quilting friends, but the recipe was given to me from my niece’s sister. She served them at Jenna’s wedding shower a couple of years ago. I have made them several times and everyone loves them! In the picture above, I used the Hawaiian Sub rolls.

You will need:

Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sammies

2 packages of Hawaiian rolls

thinly sliced ham (I used leftover ham from Easter)…@ 1 1/2 lbs

Slices of swiss or provolone cheese @ 1 lb

Dressing

1 stick of butter

2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard

2 Tbsp poppy seeds

2 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce

1/4 cup of brown sugar

Melt butter, then mix all of the remaining dressing ingredients together over medium heat until well mixed. Slice all of the bun in half (like a sandwich) and spoon some of the sauce on the bottom halves.

Lay meat and cheese on the bottom half of the buns, then top with the top part of the bun.

Pour the remaining dressing over the top of all the buns and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes (or until the cheese melts) I used one 9×12 inch pan and on 8×8 inch pan. I lined the pan with foil to help with clean up.

You may need to tent with foil to prevent the tops from scorching if you need to keep the sandwiches for longer than 15 minutes.

I am trying to “Think Spring” and with Spring, we will be celebrating Easter. I am always in need of ways to use up all those boiled eggs and I just came across this amazing Egg Salad at www.bunsinmyoven.com. She said, “not the baby type”, she likes to bake.

Yes, I know it calls for 6 eggs, but my hubby ate one before I got the salad made!

After you boil and peel the eggs, place them in a bowl and mash them with a fork.

In another small bowl mix, mayo, mustard, vinegar, parsley flakes, salt (I thought mine was a little too salty) and pepper.

Add the bacon, cheese and the mayo mixture to the mashed eggs!

I had my first sandwich on muffin and enjoyed it with a glass of OJ for breakfast. It was wonderful! Someone suggested grilling it and adding some lettuce and tomato. I might give that a try next time around. “Hop” on over to www.bunsinmyoven.com and check out all of her other goodies.

Ingredients:

6 eggs 4 slices bacon 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon vinegar 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions:

Add the eggs to a medium sized pot and fill with water to 1 inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 15 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water or place them in an ice bath until cold. While the eggs are cooling, chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry until crisp over medium heat. Drain the fat and set aside the bacon. Peel the eggs and mash them finely with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, parsley, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Stir in the bacon and cheddar. Serve as a dip with crackers or between bread as a sandwich.

Who doesn’t love the smell of gingerbread baking on a cold winter day? I recently needed a dessert to take to a pot-luck and the thought of gingerbread baking won me over.

This was so easy to make. Just make the gingerbread according to the directions on the box. Open the can of lemon crème and you have a great tasting dessert.

Spooky Deviled Eggs

I was invited to a wiener roast at my sister’s house this month and I thought it would be fun to make these “spider” deviled eggs that I had “pinned”. I just looked at their picture to see how to cut the olives.

To make my deviled eggs I use just three ingredients:

Oh yes… and 6 boiled eggs…

1/4 cup of yellow mustard

1/4 cup of Miracle Whip

1 tlbs of sweet relish

Cut the boiled eggs length-wise and place the yolks in a bowl. Add the relish, mustard and Miracle W hip. Mash with a fork until well mixed. Place this mixture back into the egg white. For my Spooky Eggs, I cut black olives to make the spider and it’s legs…

Clayton and Craig

The wiener roast was to celebrate the birthday’s of these two handsome young men! Happy Birthday Clayton and Craig!!

Pumpkin Spice Cake

If you want to make some simple cupcakes that bring with them the great pumpkin flavor, you can buy this limited edition Duncan Hines cupcake mix.

Included in the mix is a wonderful icing. I think the icing is what makes the cupcakes.

The pastry bag is included the cake mix, The instructions state to put the bag into a tall glass to fill it and this worked great. This was the first time I had used a pastry bag and the first few cupcakes didn’t look so great.

I just smoothed the icing on the first tries and added some sprinkles. They still tasted delicious . The mix makes @ a dozen cupcakes.

The card was made by my dear friend, Francie. She sends me tons of beautiful cards throughout the year and I love it when they arrive in the mail. Thanks Francie!!
