Ham N' Cheese Stacks

This was one of my favorites when I was growing up.

1 pkg pie crust mix
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1 small onion chopped
2 Tbsp chopped green pepper
2 Tbsp butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 C diced or cubed ham
1 C shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 C milk
1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 hard boiled eggs diced

Heat oven to 450.  Prepare pastry as directed on package except stir in mustard and roll into a rectangle.  Cut into 12 3 inch squares.  Prick with fork.  Place on ungreased baking sheet.  Bake 6-8 min. or until light brown.

Cook and stir onion and green pepper in butter until onion is tender.  Stir in remaining ingredients.  Heat until bubbly.  Pour mixture over pastry.

Chinese Cabbage Salad

This is a little variation of the "normal" ramen salad. We like both of them.

2 1/2 pounds napa cabbage
A bunch of green onions
3 packages ramen noodles
1/2 C butter or margarine
1/4 C sliced almonds (I usually put a lot more)
1/4 C sesame seeds
Diced cooked chicken (optional)

Dressing:
3/4 C peanut oil (I found that peanut oil was more expensive than I wanted to pay and not easy to find so I put 2 to 3 Tablespoons peanut butter and filled the rest of 3/4 cup oil and whisked it up)
1/2 C sugar
1/4 C rice vinegar
2 T soy sauce

Crush ramen noodles.  In skillet heat butter and add ramen, almonds and sesame seeds.  Cook until toasted brown.  Let cool.

Shred cabbage. Slice green onions.   Mix all ingredients in large bowl.  Add dressing just before serving.

New Blog

I am excited to start this blog not only to share all our favorite recipes new and old but also to have them all organized and easily accessible.  I don't know about everyone else but I have a LOT of recipes that are written or printed on a piece of paper and shoved in a drawer so when I want to find it it seems to be a nightmare.  Some of them were from TV shows or websites I happened upon and wouldn't be able to find them again if they got lost.

I also thought this would be a great place to post new recipes from pinterest that were tried and how they turned out.  I know I have tried a couple that were not that great but looked really good.  I wish I would have known before I tried them. 

My goal is to post at LEAST one a day (hopefully more).  I am also going to try to post pictures with each recipe.  Since I don't make these recipes everyday I obviously don't have pictures of all of them so I will start posting without the pictures and add them as I make the recipe.
