Ham & Cheese Sliders

Last night I showed Ben this recipe for Ham & Cheese sliders that I had recently pinned on Pinterest. He agreed that they looked tasty and we decided to make them. Of course we changed it up a bit. You will need: Brown & Serve Dinner Rolls Ham- We used pre-sliced smoked ham Cheese- We used pepper jack 1/2 stick of butter 3 cloves of minced garlic 2 tablespoons of spicy mustard Worcestershire Sauce
We cut the rolls in half and placed mini squares of cheese and ham in each one. ...
Cindy May’s Homemade Salsa Recipe
Last week with the help of our neighbor Anna's larger food processor (Thanks Anna), Ben and I made some more homemade salsa. We had some tomatoes that we needed to used ASAP, so salsa it was. Making salsa is one of my favorite summertime activities now that we have our own garden. Salsa that is made from fresh veggies from your garden taste so much better than store bought salsa in my opinion. We used my mom's salsa recipe and let me just say that my mom knows what she...
Ben’s Watermelon Margaritas Recipe
Last week for True Blood Sunday, Ben and I decided to use 1/2 of a left over watermelon from our garden and 1/2 of a watermelon our friend gave us to make watermelon cocktails. My mother in law emailed me a couple of recipes that she cut out of magazines (probably Southern Living). Ben looked over the recipes and decided to put his own twist on them. I am so glad that he did because his watermelon margaritas are my new favorite cocktail.

Banana Cereal Muffins
Yesterday I felt the urge to bake. I decided to make muffins using leftover cereal that was starting to turn stale and some bananas that were turning brown. I have made these cereal muffins a million times (my mom always made these for me when I was younger) but I have never added bananas. I was pretty pleased with the result. These muffins are easy to make and pretty hard to mess up. Ingredients: 1 egg 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup honey (I had to use 1 cup sugar + 1/4 cup water instead because...
My Tomato Pie
Sunday night I made a tomato pie using Paula Deen's Tomato Pie Recipe except I substituted cream cheese for mayonnaise. I hate mayonnaise. My tomato pie was ugly and sweeter than I thought it should be but overall it tasted pretty good. I knew I could make it better and my 2nd attempt was so delicious! I changed the crust and omitted the basil leaves. Ben and I enjoyed it very much!
Homemade Salsa
Filed under: Gardening, In the Kitchen..., Lesson Learned, Our Garden
Because of my recent tomato explosion, I feel the need to cook, bake or do something with all of the tomatoes I have on my kitchen table. So Ben and I made salsa and also a tomato pie for True Blood Sunday. I wasn't really happy with my tomato pie but I tried it again last night and will post about it tomorrow. I have been waiting to make my own salsa from my own tomatoes and bell peppers since we planted our...
