Welcome to my Blog!


I am so glad you stopped by. A couple of months ago I saw the movie Julie & Julia, where a young woman decides to take a year and make every recipe in Julia Child's French Cookbook. I enjoyed the movie very much and became intrigued. Maybe I could do something like that, so, I got out my barely used, 13 year old, Better Homes Cookbook and started flipping through. Thus began my cooking experiment.

Cooking is something I have always hated to do, it was a chore for me, not a pleasure. I am not a professional cook, and never will be, but the movie ignited a spark in me and revealed a new discovery, cooking can be fun!

I am learning that with patience, motivation, and good recipes anyone can be a good cook. Believe me, if I can do it, so can you! I hope you will experiment along with me and let me know what you think of the recipes I share.

I will post each new recipe I try along with a picture (I can't stand cookbooks that don't include pictures!) so you can see the final product. I will also share tips that I have learned along the way. For you seasoned chefs, the tips may seem like common sense, but for those of us who are dummies in the kitchen, they are epiphanies.

Happy Cooking!

Baked Sandwiches




This recipe is my husband Scott's creation. It is a very simple, easy meal, and we absolutely love it! This can be used for lunch or dinner with soup or a salad, though the "sandwiches" themselves are quite filling.

Ingredients:

Butter, mayonnaise, or Miracle Whip
1 lb thinly sliced turkey or ham (or any lunch meat you prefer)
16 slices provolone cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
2 large tomatoes (sliced into 8 circles)
8 pieces thickly cut French or Italian bread
Salt, pepper, Italian Seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*.

On 2 baking sheets lay out the French bread. Spread on the condiment of your choice (butter, mayo, etc.). Fold and stack 4 or 5 pieces of thinly sliced meat onto bread. Place one tomato circle on top of meat. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover with 2 slices of provolone.

Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Return to oven and set to Broil. Cook until cheese is golden brown.
