Creamy Ham and Cheese Sandwiches


My family knows that it's time for me to go to the store when we start having "made up meals!"

We're to that point again this month!

It comes around so often!

I had to take my boy cherub to an activity -- but before we left, he ran back in the house.  When he got back in the car he said,  "Dad's gone.  Where is he?"

"Oh, he ran to the store for me."

"Yeah!"  My boy cherub said!

"Oh!  Don't get too excited, he had to get stuff for me to take to lunch tomorrow!"

So, that was my first clue that we're needing stuff -- the boy cherub is noticing!

The second clue is tonight, we're getting a "made up meal."  But using our trusty rating system at dinner, I decided this was worthy to post -- in case you're needing a "made up meal" too this week!

This recipe will drive some of you crazy!  I just started mixing things in, without measuring, going by looks and taste.  You'll have to do the same!  I'll give you a "guess" of how much I used, but remember, it's only a gauge!  Always start with less and add more if necessary -- that's kind of how I do anyway!

Creamy Ham and Cheese Sandwiches

1/2 container of cream cheese spread, softened
1/4 cup finely chopped purple onion
1/3 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
2/3 cup finely chopped cooked ham (or chicken)
4 Hawaiian deli rolls

Combine cream cheese, chopped onion, shredded cheese, and chopped ham in a bowl and mix well.

Place 1/4 of spread on bottom of Hawaiian deli roll and spread to the edges.  Toast the bottoms (with the mixture) and tops of the rolls until golden. 

Serve warm with a side of fruit and some chips. 

Now, my girl cherub, while munching on her new sandwich, said, "Mom, this would be good as a hot dip, with pita chips or something like that!"

There ya go, sometimes a "made up meal" just hits the spot!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out! But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice! Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup 3-4 chicken breasts; cooked and shredded (or whole chicken;  cooked & shredded) olive oil 1 c onion, chopped 1 c bell pepper, chopped 1 c celery, chopped 1 c carrots, chopped 1/2 T minced garlic 2 t cumin 2 t coriander 1 t paprika 1 t red chili powder 1 T oregano 1/2 t cayenne (adjust to your taste) 1 28-oz can diced to

Chicken and Artichoke Casserole

Picture from Cooking with Paula Deen ( . . .and aren't those cute dishes!) We first had this delicious casserole on Mother's Day while feasting at "Dining on Persimmon Hill," which is a restaurant at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, OK.  Side note --- if you have the chance to visit the Museum, please take advantage of the opportunity.  It is a wonderful experience!  And don't forget to eat at the museum restaurant.  It's delish! So back to the casserole.  After eating it we knew we had to find out the recipe!  The owner of the restaurant graciously shared her secret!  It's a Paula Deen; which means it's full of fat AND yummy flavor! This casserole is a hit with my cherubs and the Mr.  Also, whenever I make it for friends, they always want the recipe . . . maybe they're just being nice, I'm not sure!  When you look at the recipe, you might think it's a pain, but really, it is so easy!  Especial
