Cranberry and Ham Crescent Rolls

Where does the time go? Im pretty sure everyone feels the same way, but this week has flown by. I don't know where the days are going.

 I spent an hour printing a powerpoint presentation out at work. It felt like 20 mins of messing, but before I knew it I spent an hour in the work room waiting for the print jobs to spool. Remind me never to put large graphics in powerpoint presentations that are 60 slides long.

So, when you spend all day printing (okay, an hour) things you just want to come home and make something easy.

This is the result of easy. Not the healthiest thing in my list of recipes, but the easiest indeed.

Cranberry and Ham Crescent Rolls

1 lb cooked ham, diced

1 c whole berry cranberry sauce

1 container pillsbury crescent rolls

Pop open the container of crescent rolls and spread them out. Put about 2 tablespoons of the diced ham on the wider side, top with a tablespoon of cranberry sauce and roll. Bake on a parchment covered pan as indicated on the package or until crescent is golden brown.

Also, I'm pretty sure you can stuff anything into a crescent roll and it will taste amazing. Cream cheese, jelly, hot dogs all turn out well. So, I'm curious as to what you've stuffed into your crescent rolls. Anything interesting? Let me know!

Sweet n' Tangy Turkey Ham Sandwich

Late night blog post folks....

So, we decided to go fishing today. Entirely because this was the first day that we had off work together. Anyway, I knew it was cold, but it was teeth chattering cold.  How does it get this cold in May? Obviously, if today was a day in December it would have been considered warm, but it's not December! And we didn't catch anything!

I digress. All in all today was a good day. The Pens won, ending the series for Ottawa. And I made this seemingly weird, but perfectly palatable sandwich. I think most people would shy away from the combination of pickles and cranberry sauce.  I was leery myself. However, I gave it a try, after I spent a good bit of time convincing my sister-in-law that I was not pregnant and craving out of the ordinary food combinations. Let me tell you, it was delicious. It was sweet and tangy...the perfect flavor combination.

This sandwich is influenced by a sandwich I saw on a menu in a local restaurant, this is my remake of it.

Sweet n' Tangy Turkey Ham Sandwich

2 slices ciabatta bread

2 slices baked ham

2 slices smoked turkey

2 slices swiss or provolone

2 tblsp whole cranberry cranberry sauce

1 dill pickle, sliced

2 tblsp horseradish sauce

butter

Butter on side of each slice of bread, on opposing side slather 1 tblsp of horseradish sauce on both slices of bread. Layer on one slice of cheese, turkey, cranberry sauce, ham, pickles and then another slice of cheese. That is the exact order that I layered it. It worked well. Then throw on the grill or panini press until the cheese is melted and gooey and the bread is golden brown.


It's a little messy to eat, but definitely worth the sloppy fingers. Enjoy your night!
