Here is what I have been working to store all of our favorite recipes!

Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf

Yesterday and last night we were a little pressed for time due to Vacation Bible School and Thomas' baseball game. So I found this quick little recipe that I knew the kids would love, and it turns out that Jon and I liked it too! We loved the filling and even came up with a couple others to try to change things up! Nothing glamorous, just Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf and a fresh garden salad (and I mean fresh...lettuce picked out of the garden!).

Ham & Cheddar in a Loaf

1 pound frozen bread, thawed

1 package (9 oz) shaved smoked ham

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup miracle whip

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon parmesan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place dough on lightly floured surface; flatten slightly with hands, then roll into 12x8 inch rectangle with rolling pin. Top dough evenly with ham, overlapping and leaving 1/2 inch border around all edges. Mix cheese and miracle whip; spread over ham. Moisten edges od dough with water. Starting at one of the long sides of dough, fold 1/3 of the dough over filling, then repeat with the other side. Firmly pich ends of dough together to seal. Place seam side down on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut 3 diagonal slits in top of dough. Brush evenly with egg; sptinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving!

So we like to cook!

Seems like every week we are trying a new recipe that has been found in a magazine, cookbook, from a relative or friend. We also like to try new things out on date nights. So we thought why not write about it! Enjoy reading our culinary adventure!!
