Ham Sliders

These are YUMMY! My kids ate them up and begged for more! I have tried several pinterest recipes lately and for every 5 I try maybe 1 is worth keeping. This one did not disappoint!

Take about 20 dinner rolls (mine were homemade and soft) and put a little mayo on the inside with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss. I had cheddar and mozzerella on hand, so that is what I used.

Place the sandwiches close together in a baking dish. I used two 9x13 pans.  Butter the tops with this sauce.

Sauce:

1/2 c butter, melted
1 T poppyseeds
1, 1/2 T mustard
1 T minced onion
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

You do not have to use all the sauce. Cover the pans with foil and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Uncover the dish and bake another 2 minutes.

Zucchini Cake

When Kevin and I were in Logan our neighbor across the street became my best friend. LuElla gave me this great recipe. I added the Chia seeds and Wheat Germ. You don't have to have those. Chia seeds are really good for you. They are packed with Omega-3 oils and anti-oxidants!

Mix:

2 C zucchini, grated
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil

add:

2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

add and mix well:

2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Pour the batter into greased 9x13 pan. Then mix and sprinkle the topping.

For the topping mix:

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup nuts (I used almonds)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp chia seads
1 tsp Wheat Germ

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Rice Pudding

My Mom use to make this when I was growing up. I love it hot. And I love it cold! It is a great item to throw into the school lunches, too.

Throw everything in a large pot on stove. Bring to a slow boil. Cover for 45 minutes. Stir often.

5 cups milk
1 cup rice
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt

You could also add 2/3 cup raisins and 1 tsp cinnamon. I prefer to just sprinkle a little cinnamon on mine.
