We really enjoyed these scrumptious tea sandwiches. They're slightly salty and creamy from the Bleu cheese spread. The mildly sweet and crisp slices of pear are a tasty contrast to the creamy filling. They are perfect sandwiches for parties or afternoon tea.

Bleu Cheese, Walnut & Pear Sandwich

tablespoon(s) cream cheese, room temperature

tablespoon(s) Bleu cheese

butter, softened

slice(s) bread, thin, rye, pumpernickel

cup(s) walnuts, chopped very fine, and toasted

There are so many things to love about this easy pasta dinner. It's simple, made with inexpensive ingredients, beautiful, and tastes amazing. The Italian sausage gives this unmistakenly Italian flavor. Colorful bell peppers add a mild flavor and combine with the tomatoes nicely. Pasta isn't the star of this recipe so the mild egg noodles are the perfect pasta choice. Wine adds a lot of flavor, as do the fresh parsley and basil. Topping with a bit of fresh Parmesan makes is tasty. This recipe is casual enough to be served as a weeknight dinner but could be presented on a platter and served at a dinner party. If you have leftovers, this is even better the next day.

We know everyone has seen a version of these scrumptious sandwiches floating around the internet. Everyone has their own tweak to the recipe and we loved Rhonda's butter sauce. It was tangy which balances the sweetness of the Hawaiian rolls. We love that you can prep these a day ahead of time and bake right out of the fridge. The sandwiches were toasty and the cheese was fantastically gooey. Sweet and savory, these sliders are buttery perfection.

Croquettes are a fantastic way to use leftovers. For testing we used turkey, but ham, chicken, or roast beef could easily be substituted. A great recipe to have on hand to use extra meat and vegetables from a holiday meal. After frying, the bread crumb outside is crunchy and the savory filling is soft and full of flavor. We tried them dipped in mustard and on a roll with mustard. Both ways are delicious!

Kroketten (Dutch Croquettes)

tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour

cup(s) cold leftover meat (roast, pork, chicken, turkey)

cup(s) *optional leftover vegetables (corn

tablespoon(s) Ketjap Manis (sweet soy sauce) see picture below

Very kid-friendly, this is a classic tater tot casserole. With one pound of ground meat and a few other ingredients, you can easily feed a family. Switch up the veggies with what you prefer. We opted for ground beef, but ground turkey would be great too. The soup mixture adds a creaminess that mixes with the tater tots. A weeknight meal that's perfect for a busy parent. If there is any left at the end of the meal, it heats up well for leftovers the next day.

Tater Tot Casserole

beef

2-3 cup(s) canned (drained) or frozen vegetable of choice: green beans, corn, peas

pound(s) frozen tater tots

can(s) cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)

can(s) cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)

8-12 ounce(s) cheddar cheese, shredded

Delicious southern butter beans made from dry beans. This recipe is not only yummy but easy on the pocketbook. I like to save the fried bacon for a salad topping, but my husband likes them cooked in the beans. Either way these are sure to be a hit !
 I will divide leftovers into freezer bags as sides for other meals. I hate buying canned butter beans and this way you save money and homemade just taste so much better !
We'll have a big pot of them served with a skillet of cornbread and a wedge of onion.

How To Cook Crab

Eggs Benedict is a favorite brunch item and we loved the crab twist in this recipe. The cheese and the green pepper, mix well with the flavor of the crab. A creamy mock hollandaise sauce comes together in minutes and is delicious spooned over the poached egg and crab filling. This is a very impressive dish you could serve for brunch or a holiday breakfast.

What a quick, easy, and delicious egg salad recipe. Turn into tea sandwiches for a brunch, put on top of lettuce for an easy lunch, or just enjoy it between two slices of bread. It has a unique texture from the cream cheese and butter mixed with a little mayonnaise. Typical egg salad has more mayonnaise. Cream cheese adds a slight tang and creaminess. The seasoning is mild which means you can add more to taste. This egg salad is a great sandwich.

My last test for the "grilled cheese weekend"...this morning we had panko crusted grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato. Very yummy and crusty. I used Italian bread instead of regular sliced bread. The possibilities for these sandwiches are endless! Enjoy :)
