Howdy Hey! It’s Friday and I made you a warm and flavorFUL and melty grilled cheese sandwich today! Also known as *theeeee* sandwich that I will serve leading up to AND in between the Holidays. Also, after school and sometimes during lunch… dinner, too.

I think we’ve already talked about this, but my favorite thing in life, during this time of year, is flavorful and quick, but comforting and delicious, quick snacks and meals. And even though I adore 5 course meals and candlelit dinners, sometimes, nothing else can hit the spot like a good ol’ grilled cheese can.

I’ve been trying to come up with something that I might be able to serve the day before we feast on that turkey, or even the day after. Something easy, something quick, and something good. With all the people coming in and out, and with all the conversations that will take place around the couch, I don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen missing all the fun. Besides, I want to avoid a FOMO episode at all times. I’m picturing a feast of sandwiches in the living room while we all talk and watch the game. I don’t know which game, but any game will do!

I was at Sam’s Club browsing around to see what I wanted to include in my sandwiches when I walked up to the deli cooler and found this brand new product: NatureRaised Farms® Uncured Smoked Sliced Ham. Looking closer, I saw that this particular sliced ham is without antibiotics, and no added hormones or growth promotants. Didn’t take too long for me to pick up a few packages and place ’em in my cart. #EatGoodCleanFun

So when I came back home, I was inspired to make a sandwich with my newfound ham, some crusty Italian bread, lots o’ cheese, apple slices, and apricot jam. Grey Poupon, too!

    I make something similar to your sandwich. I toast half a everything bagel, then I turn on the broiler, put the ham on top of the toasted bagel, top it with apple and red onion, then I put sharp cheddar cheese on top and broil till the cheese is browning and bubbly. The apple and red onion marry together so well and oooooooh does it taste delicious!!

  2. Michelle Cabana says:

    I would make a creamy Ham and Potato Soup. Since it is so dang cold, I am all about the soups. Just found your blog and I LOVE IT. Your pictures are amazing, your recipes are simple, hardy and healthy and you are funny to boot.

  3. Brenda Haines says:

    I would make a yummy twist on eggs benedict. Thanks for the chance!

  4. amanda whitley says:

    I think I would make Monte Cristo sandwiches

  6. Kim says:

    I would make a ham, cheese and egg breakfast burrito – not very inventive, but super yummy!

  7. David says:

    I would make some “cinnamon rolls”, except in place of the cinnamon and sugar, put ham and cheese. We make them whenever we have company over and they are a hit. Either that, or they are too polite to tell us otherwise!!

  8. Taylor Kiser says:

    I totally agree – quick, easy, and delicious is a must around the holidays! I would definitely make this ham and apple grilled cheese sandwich! Looks so delicious!

  9. Ali says:

    I would make ham biscuits!
