The hiatus is over!

After a much needed summer hiatus I am back with tons of new recipes to help get you through the busy holiday season. I spent the summer vegetable, herb, and flower gardening so I am trying to incorporate a fresh element to a lot of my recipes. I also spent the summer geo caching so I tasted some very ummmm interesting food at times some of which I'm still trying to forget!  However, some was down right delicious and has been the inspiration behind a few new dishes. Today I am feeling in the holiday spirit so I am going to bake a sweet and savory ham roast and some creamy Mac and cheese. These recipes and pictures of the finished product will be posted later so make sure you check back! Happy holidays now lets eat!

1 lb black forest ham
1/2 lb Swiss cheese
6 hoogie buns, halved width wise
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup butter (see recipe)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a large baking sheet. Place the bottom half of each hoogie bun on it. Place 2 slices of ham and a half slice of cheese on each bun then put the top on. In a sauce pan on medium heat melt the butter then stir in the mustard, onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon over the top of each bun. Then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Place in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 20 minutes. Serve immediately. Makes 12 sandwiches. Serves 6.
