Reuben Sandwich

Reuben Sandwiches are a family favorite at our house.  Actually anything with sour kraut is a sure family favorite.  There is nothing better on a cold night than corned beef, sour kraut and Swiss cheese on grilled pumpernickel and rye swirled bread.

Beer Battered Grilled Ham, Bacon and Cheese Sandwich

Yum 

Happy Mothers Day.  I had a terrific day today, just wish the weather would have been better.  Here it is May and we have a fire going in the stove tonight.  I do not think we have ever had a fire this late in the spring.  This morning Cally made me egg in the hole for breakfast...oh boy I love those things.  Both of the kids had to work today.  But I was able to spend yesterday with Billy and this evening with Cally.  I am going to be a lucky Momma next weekend as both of the kids will be home.

This is my new favorite grilled cheese.  The beer battered outside grilled up real nice and toasty.  The outside of the sandwich was a little sweet tasting.  It reminded me of french toast grilled cheese but I did not add any sugar so I am guessing it was the beer that made it taste that way.

I have a quick and easy sandwich for you.  This is nice when you have been busy all day and need to make supper.  It is just a chicken breast patty, deli ham and swiss cheese on a bun with grey poupon mustard.

Hot Hoagies and my Cinderella

Tonight is Cally's homecoming dance.  We were busy today with hair and nail appointments.  After her appointments we took some pictures around town.  This pumpkin carriage has been in the city park ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved it and thought it would make a neat picture...I love it!  Watch for more of her senior pictures to come as Bill and I will be taking her pictures in the next 2 weekends with the leaves turning. 

Now on to the hoagies...These hoagies have become one of our favorite sandwiches.  They are easy and fast to do.  You can put whatever meats and cheese you like on them, I like ham, turkey,salami and provolone cheese but Bill does not like salami so on his I put ham, turkey, roast beef and pepper jack cheese serve them with chips for a fast meal.
