Guest Blogger Katrina from In Katrina's Kitchen


Happy Mother's Day
Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

I love Katrina's blog, In Katrina's Kitchen and although I do think she is trying to kill me (although death by incredible photos of delicious food is a pretty good way to go.)   I have been privileged to get to know Katrina. 


Cookie Monster Cookies
 It might surprise you to know that Katrina has only been blogging since late January 2011 and she started on a high note, Chocolate Chip Oreo Cookie Sandwich.  Since then this delicious blog has been a chocolate drizzled, gooey marshmallow filled delightful treat.Katrina rocks and she makes homemade Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies…  yummy!




Homemade Girl Scout Cookies




I’m pleased and honored to be a guest blogger here at Calamity Kate’s Kitchen. I think Kate is just a sweetheart. She always has an encouraging word for me and I know I’m in for a treat whenever I hear from her.
I bring to you a childhood classic in its grown-up form: Hot Ham and Cheese. Do you remember having this sandwich as a child? I make ham and cheese sandwiches all of the time for my children. It is perhaps the quickest and easiest go-to dinner or lunch in my house. I think ham and cheese is so loved by kids because the flavors are usually pretty mild. And who ever refuses melted cheese on warm bread anyway? Throw in a little lean protein and you’re good to go.

This is of course a very basic recipe and can be adjusted to fit your tastes. I used smoked ham, provolone cheese, and green onions. I had intended to throw in some roasted red peppers but I couldn’t get the jar open. Fail. You’ll have to use your imagination. Oh well it was still yummy!

Ingredients:
1 (13.8 oz) can Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
4 oz deli ham, thinly sliced
4 oz provolone cheese, thinly sliced
3 green onions, chopped
¼ cup roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped (optional)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 375⁰F.
Roll out dough into a rectangle (approx. 9x13 inches) on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Arrange ham and cheese all over the dough. Sprinkle with green onions and red peppers.
Fold the short sides of the rectangle over slightly before folding the whole sandwich lengthwise twice.
Bake seam-side down for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serves 4.
