So What Have You Been Up To Lately

It is May - YES - May!!! It's time to finish up the last few lessons of the year. It's time to plan for graduations and summer break. It's time to just relax and take it easy for a while.

Who Am I Kidding?!? If you are anything like me, (and I'm sure that you are, whether you like it or not!) you have already begun thinking about next school year. So, in all actuality, it is time to order more books. It is time to schedule your next school year. It is time to decide...

No, it's time to take a break. Push away from the books if only for a few days and just enjoy each other as a family. See if a little break doesn't calm your nerves and clear your brain. Healing Salve by Cindy's Suds

Hey, you might even find new reasons to love the people in your very own household.

Family Recipes from Sheteam

My sister actually taught my second oldest how to make these oven crisped sandwiches. They have become a favorite in our house so I thought we would share them with you.

















Ingredients List:

8-10 French rolls from the local deli

3-4 sweet large onions

10-12 ounces thinly sliced deli ham or turkey

8 ounces thinly sliced provolone cheese

1/3 C mayonnaise

1/3 C Dijon mustard

Preparations Instructions:

First slice the onions into thin rings and lightly sauté in butter or olive oil. There is no need to season the onions. While the onions are being sautéed slice the rolls into halves and set the tops and bottoms open faced on a cookie sheet. Set aside for later. Preheat oven 350 degrees.

To Prepare the bottom portion of the French Rolls.

In a small dish, mix 1/3 cup Dijon mustard with 1/3 cup mayonnaise. Using your fingers, scoop out a small portion of the bottoms of the French rolls and into the holes place 1 tablespoon of the sauce mix. On top of that place one slice of Provolone cheese and set this back on the cookie sheets.

To Prepare the upper portion of the French Rolls.

On the top portions of the rolls layer 1 piece of deli sliced meat and a good portion of the sauteed onions. Place these back on the cookie sheets.

Place both cookie sheets in the oven and allow the sandwich halves to cook until lightly golden. Serve while hot. YUM!
