Simple Meal

The other day I made grilled Munster cheese with turkey.

With simplified version of Cheddar cheese broccoli soup.

They were awesome but so simple that you could make it in a hotel or dorm room.

I made the soup with frozen broccoli and canned cheese soup.

I had a portable panini sandwich press.

Comfort food: grilled cheese and tomato soup

I made grilled cheese and tomato soup the other day. It was always a comfort food and something I remember as a kid.

I love the many combinations with grilled cheese.

There are so many combination s

  • Munster
  • Honey mustard
  • Grilled chicken
  • Grilled onions

Or

  • Swiss or Mozzarella
  • Roast beef
  • Mushrooms

The combo we had

  • American cheese
  • Bread n butter pickles
  • Bacon

I added rice and bacon and golden fish crackers to my tomato soup.

Its just yummy comfort I had from my childhood.

Easter Dinner (Happy Ham Day!)

Happy Easter! Or Happy Ham Day!

Over the weekend, we have been cooking ham and other goodies to celebrate the holiday as we have done in past traditions.

Sandwiches. . . growing up we joked because we would make our sandwiches “Bleed” as we had an egg Easter bread, beet horseradish sauce, ham and cheese.
Cvikla s Chrenom – Beet and Horseradish Relish (http://slovakamericankitchen.blogspot.com/2014/04/cvikla-s-chrenom-beet-and-horseradish.html )

Easter bread: Paska (https://dcslovaks.org/slovak-easter-traditions-paska-bread/)

Easter Cheese: Veľká noc Cirák (https://slaviccooking.com/slovak-easter-cheese-cirak/)

We kept it simple (we didn’t make Cvikla s Chrenom, Paska, or Veľká noc Cirák but do remember them as a kid.)

 

We made three hams (actually my friend and my brother made the hams.)

I focused on the sweet potatoes with marshmallows.

What is awesome is that with ham. . . there are so many things you can do with the leftover. . .

  • You can add it to scallop or augrutin potatoes.
  • You can add into bean or split pea soups.
  • Add it to Mac N Cheese
  • Yes of course you can just keep it simple and make a bunch of ham sandwiches.

Note: Ham has a lot of salt, so make sure you drink a lot of water to get a lot of the salt out of your system.

This ham is addicting that I’m dealing with a stomachache from eating too much. So I am taking a nap now.
