This week's Recipe:
I am clearing out my pantry this month. Part of it is because we are a little low on cash and part of it is because I am starting couponing and I'm trying to get organized. Well, being that I didn't have the money to run to the grocery store at the time and I was trying to come up with something that would work for dinner. This is what I came up with, using things that I just had in my pantry (and fridge). It probably wasn't the most nutritious, but I'm not very good at doing that anyway, but it filled the tummies of my kids and that's what mattered!

This week's Recipe:
This is the perfect summer meal because there is no cooking/baking involved and its so much better than a regular sandwich! I made mine with Ham, Cheddar Jack Cheese, and lettuce with a Ranch dipping sauce. Plus I served this with Reser's potato salad and it was fabulous!

Deli Rolls
by Janis from Dinner Time Ideas

Flour tortillas
lettuce
tomatoes (optional)
bell peppers (optional)
Cheese
Deli meat of your choice. Turkey, ham, chicken, roast beef.....
Cream cheese

Spread cream cheese over entire tortilla. layer cheese, meat and any vegetables on the 2/3 of the tortilla. Leave the last 1/3 free. As you roll the ingredients will shift a little and you don't want alot of bulk at the end. If you make these ahead of time, you can wrap in saran wrap or foil and refridgerate until ready to serve. Then you can slice them in wheels. If you are making them last minute, just slice them in wheels keeping the seam side down so they stay rolled up and closed.

Potato Ham & Cheese Bake
by DeDe Smith

Potatoes
8 oz Sour Cream
4 oz Cream Cheese
1/2 cube butter
Sliced Deli Ham
Grated Cheese
Corn

This is how I always make my mashed potatoes: Peel, cut-up, and boil potatoes in a large pan of water until soft but not too soft. Mash up Potatoes with butter, cream cheese and sour cream. I use my stand mixer and it makes the potatoes so smooth! You can add less/more of the butter, sour cream, and cream cheese as needed.

For each serving - place 2-3 slices of ham on cookie sheet. Top with large serving of mashed potatoes and add grated cheese to the middle of the potatoes.

Bake at 375 degrees until cheese melts - about 10 minutes. Serve with Corn!
