Old Fashioned Southern Ham Salad Recipe

    Our family really does love ham salad.  Ham salad makes a great sandwich that is quite satisfying.  We love it on some homemade white bread or homemade wheat bread but it can also be served on crackers or on a bed of lettuce.

• 3 c. cooked ham, diced
• ¾ c. mayonnaise
• ¼ c. celery, diced (optional)
• 2 T. relish (dill or sweet)
• 1 tsp. mustard (can be yellow or brown mustard
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• ¼ tsp. minced garlic

Place the diced ham into your food processor and pulse a few times to get it to a good consistency but don’t do so much that it turns into a paste. Put the finely chopped ham into a bowl and add in the other ingredients.  Stir well.  Serve and enjoy!

The Best Grilled Cheese and Turkey Sandwich Recipe

    This is an easy and quick twist on a grilled cheese sandwich.  I love making these about once a week.  So comforting and makes a delicious and wonderful sandwich the whole family will love!

• 3-4 slices deli style turkey
• 2 slices of bread (I use either white or wheat)
• 2 slices cheese (I use either Monterey Jack or Provolone)
• 2 slices tomato
• 2 tsp.-1 T. mayonnaise (depending on personal preference)

Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up for a minute or two.  Spread one side of each slice of bread with the mayonnaise, coating evenly.  Lay down the meat, cheese and tomatoes onto the bread that is NOT coated.  Top with the other slice of bread with the mayonnaise side out.  Place into the pan and fry it until the bread is nice and brown.  Flip the sandwich and repeat for the other side.

I prefer using mayonnaise instead of butter because it provides a great flavor and gives a nice crunch to the bread too. 

 

 

This truly is one of my favorite sandwiches in the world.  Great when served with some potato salad and tomato soup or with a bowl of chili. Yum!

DIY Indian Spice Mix Recipe

    I like to keep spice mixes on hand so they are readily available.  I do not buy them premixed, I mix up my own.  This spice blend is the perfect mix of spices that will give your food a big blast of flavor. This is easy and fast to whip up.

 

2 T. cumin

2 T. pepper

1 T. turmeric

1 T. crushed red pepper

2 tsp. ginger

1 tsp. curry

1 tsp. pepper

½ tsp. cinnamon

 

            Place all the ingredients into an airtight container and store for up to 3 months.

           

            Use this spice mix to add flavor to fish, chicken, soups, curries, rice or even sprinkle on a salad.  It also makes an excellent rub on chicken, fish or vegetables.
