Welcome my friends to a new year of adventure and great food!
July we are highlighting great sandwiches of any kind. In the summer months, it is way too hot to bake or cook on the oven. For that reason, we are doing sandwiches that require little to no cooking.
For this month, I’m letting my mom take it away
❤
What you will need: Dinner rolls (we got the new Sara Lee Artesano which comes 12 rolls to the package for $3.69 – you will need six rolls); Ham of your choice (you could use any kind of deli meat – this is our favorite – don’t tell Bacon. The package costs $4.07, you will need a third of it); and shredded cheese (a block of cheese cost us $1.99 – use whatever type. We use medium cheddar and about a quarter of the block). Total price $3.71
How to prepare: Turn your over on just long enough to get a little hot. Cut the tops off of he dinner rolls trying to keep them all together. Put the shredded cheddar cheese on the bottom dinner rolls. Then top with slices of ham and more shredded cheddar cheese. Place the top back on the dinner rolls and put on a baking sheet. Put in the oven just long enough to get the cheese to melt. Take out and cut into little sliders for dinner. Trust me, they go FAST!

Okay my friends. Let’s discuss weird food combinations. What foods do you mix together that *you* think is so good but somebody else would say eeeww nasty?
I’ll start – snorts with piggy laughter. When mom/dad go to the movies, which is infrequent but does happen, mom has to have popcorn while dad is a huge nacho fan. Dad will dip his nacho in his cheese and then put the cheesy nacho in mom’s popcorn to pick up some popcorn before eating it. Can you see his nacho in mom’s popcorn. Disgusting huh? I haven’t seen such a disgrace since peanut butter bumped into chocolate.. oh wait a minute. I do like that combination.
Then there’s mom who when she fixes tuna for sandwiches, cuts up green olives with the pimentos and throws it into the mix.
Another thing that mom does – when she fixes a peanut butter sandwich, she crumbles up plain potato chips and puts inside of the sandwich. Yep, inside of the sandwich. Shakes piggy head. Unbelievable huh?
So what do your humans fix that seems weird. Please share. My humans can’t be the only strange ones.

This was a tough one this month – not so much as to a sandwich but what to pick to post. I ended picking a sandwich that we all absolutely love here at the Hotel Thompson. AND, it’s simple to fix. Really – it looks like it’s complicated but trust me, it’s not 🙂
Normally we fix this sandwich a lot around the Thanksgiving -Christmas holidays because of all of the leftovers. You are probably asking yourself well what do you call it? This is our rendition of a Monte Cristo sandwich.
What you will need:
2 slices of white bread ($0.10)
2 slices of ham or leftover ham (if you buy the deli ham this comes out to less than $1.25)
2 slices of turkey or leftover turkey (again if you buy the deli turkey this comes out to less than $1.25)
2-3 slices of cheese – any kind. In this situation, we used one slice of cheddar on top and one slice of cheddar on bottom with one slice of swiss in the middle. (we had all of these cheese on hand and it came out less than $1.00)
Pillsbury pizza dough – yep you heard it. One can cost us $1.50
Powdered sugar to top. I’m still using a bag of powdered sugar that I bought some time ago. I’m going to say this might be $0.25
And you have your choice of any kind of jam you want to dip your sandwich into before eating. Here, we prefer a strawberry jam. One bottle usually makes it 4 sandwiches so for 1 sandwich – $0.75.
Build your Monte Cristo. Lay out your 2 pieces of white bread. Add a piece of cheddar, one slice of ham, one slice of turkey, one slice of swiss, one slice of ham, one slice of turkey and one slice of cheddar. Take your pizza dough and cut it into two slices. You just need a half slice to wrap around your sandwich completely – just like wrapping a package. Get your oil hot in your pan because now you are going to deep fry your sandwich. Yep, we are in the south – DEEP FRY that bad boy. When it is nicely browned on all sides, take it out and pat it with a paper towel. Then cut it into fours, place it on a plate and lightly dust it with the powdered sugar. Dip in your jam and enjoy. This is wonderful!
