Home-made Goodness!


Doesn't it make your mouth water! Home-made ham and cheese hot pockets! A few weeks ago I got the biggest craving for Mom's home-made hot pockets! I called Mom and she laughed because Erin and Andrew put that on the "foods that Erin's Mom is going to tingle our taste-buds with while she's here" list. It must be the Spring air because Kari put that on her monthly menu too.

So Kari, Cassie, and I (I love that our names all start with a 'K' sound) started out by making 3 batches of bread dough. Then while it raised Cassie filled us in about healthy eating/living/exercising stuff she read about (which she will post about at a later date on the Merkley's Biggest Loser blog). Let's just say WOW! It's going to be a great summer!

Then when the dough was ready, we pinched a ball of dough flat with our bare hands and filled it with leftover ham and swiss cheese (leftover ham from a previous dinner was 100 times better than the packaged one I brought). To make it extra yummy, after we folded it over and closed the sides, we laid them on cornmeal!, and baked until golden brown.

They tasted SO GOOD! Needless to say we were so proud of our work, we're going to do this a little more often :)
