Croque-Madame for Monsieur

Since I'm such a Francophile,
I celebrate Bastille Day.

Plus it's a great excuse to leave up all my 4th of July decor and the hubs gets to eat meat.

So in honor of Bastille Day,

I bring you a Croque-Madame and les frites (Basically it's just a fancy grilled cheese sandwich with ham and egg with fries on the side).

1 large croissant, split in half
1 Tbsp Butter
Mayo
Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
Gruyere or Swiss cheese, sliced
Ham, the hubs use Petit Jean peppered ham
1 egg

preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put butter in skillet and heat over medium. Add croissant, top with mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Add cheese, ham and grill on both sides until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove sandwich from skillet, then cook 1 egg over easy. Place sandwich and put egg on top into a oven safe pan and bake for 5 minutes.
Bon Appetit!

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
