Ham and Cheese Sliders

24 good white dinner rolls
24 pieces good honey ham
24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip

Poppy seed sauce (you probably could half this...I had plenty extra)
1 T poppyseeds
1 1/2 T yellow mustard
1 stick butter, melted
1 T minced onion
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes. Serve warm.

Toss all to combine & roast at 400 for 15-20 mins.

Pretzel Turtles

Bag of mini pretzels

Bag of Rolos, unwrapped
Halved Pecans
M&Ms, Hersheys kissables, (optional for kids)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pretzels on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place unwrapped Rolos on top of pretzels and bake for 3 minutes. You don't want them too melted. Remove from oven and push pecan half (or candy) halfway down into the melted Rolo.

Steakhouse Baked Potatoes

Try this once and you'll never go back to the boring old tinfoil method!

8 baking potatoes
1 tablespoon EVOO or canola oil or butter
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Method:

Scrub your potatoes until completely clean. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use a fork to poke holes in each potato. Brush each potato with oil and roll in coarse salt. Place directly on baking sheet and bake for about 1 hour, or until tender. Serve with a choice of toppings. OOOOH!!
