These little pizzas are a snap to throw together one a busy work night. Buy the flatbreads so you don’t have to make crust. Even your kids can make these. And the salty/sweet combo is amazing.

My new job is great. It is not great to home at 630pm (at the earliest) every night and still have to fix dinner. I know I could just not cook but what would I eat for lunch the next day? Cafeteria food is ok sometimes but it’s greasiness and boring flavors get old. I mean, how many slices of pizza and chicken strips can one person eat?!? This meal is quick and good for any of the three meals in busy day.

Ham, Cheddar, and Potato Frittata (from Alaska From Scratch)

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cup russet potatoes, peeled and chopped in small, uniform cubes
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1-1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1/3 cup green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Heat a 9 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt butter. Add potatoes and cook, stirring frequently, until  tender (mine took about 12 minutes, but it will depend on how small you cut them). Add diced ham to the potatoes and cook another 2 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, 1 cup of cheese, green onions, salt and pepper. Pour into skillet, give a quick stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Remove lid from pan and top with remaining cheese. Transfer skillet to broiler and broil until eggs are set (no longer jiggling and firm to the touch), cheese is melted, and top begins to only gently brown. Garnish with more green onion. Cut into wedges. Serves 6.

I made these little sandwiches to accompany some Sketch-Free Broccoli Cheese Soup (recipe to follow). I love fresh apples but sometimes struggle to find savory ways to use them. Be sure to use a tart apple with a firm texture. You really want a punch of flavor and a good crunch when you bite into this delicious sandwich.

Brie, Ham, Apple Grilled Cheese with Whole Grain Mustard

  • 4 slices good bread (think sourdough, etc)
  • 4 ounces of sliced ham
  • 4 ounces of sliced Brie
  • 1/2 apple, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp whole grain mustard
  • Butter

Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices of the bread, butter side down in a non-stick skillet. Layer each sandwich in this order – 2 oz ham, 2 oz brie, 1/4 apple, 1 tbsp whole grain mustard. Top each sandwich with the last slice of bread. Grill until browned on each side and the cheese is melted. Serves 2.

Yay for football season! It heralds the beginning of fall. And pumpkin lattes, apple cider, root vegetables, pumpkins, and creative costumes for little trick-or-treaters. One of the best thing about football season is all the good food. These sliders are a snap to throw together and would be great any time. Maybe a baby shower or a church supper. And if you don’t consider yourself much of a cook, I bet you can still make these.

Ham and Swiss Hawaiian Sliders

  • 1 pkg Hawaiian King rolls
  • 1/2 to 3/4 lb shaved ham

  • Swiss cheese slices

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter and mix in mustard, minced onions, and poppy seeds together. Split the rolls and paint the butter mixture on each side of the rolls. Place ham and Swiss cheese on the bottom half. Apply the top of each bun. Bake until the cheese is melted.
