This, That, and the Other

Good morning all.  Hope you had a great long weekend with family and friends.
This morning I am going to ramble a bit in between doing laundry and filling up the dehydrator racks!

I thought I'd share the recipe for the sandwich spread I made this weekend.  That stuff runs about $4 a pound at the deli's around here.  I made it much cheaper - of course I got my bologna cheap.  You can make this with any cheaper lunchmeat.

SANDWICH SPREAD
1 lb. bologna or lunchmeat of choice
1/4 C relish
1/2 C mayonnaise (can add more to taste)

Grind up your lunchmeat (I used the Ninja) and then mix in relish and mayo.  Easy peasy!

This was two pounds of meat ground.

This is the bologna chunks I bought on clearance.  One went into the freezer to make sandwich spread at a later date.  It sure does make for tasty sandwiches at lunch, breakfast, or even a quick dinner.


I made jalapenos poppers this week too.  I posted in Sunday's comments how I did them - but in case you didn't read the comments - here we go!

JALAPENO POPPERS
I made approximately 2 lbs. of peppers worth.
1 - 8 oz. package cream cheese (softened)
2-3 big dollops of sour cream
seasoning (I used garlic)
I added a couple tablespoons shredded cheese (your fav flavor)

I cut the ends off the larger peppers and cut the membranes and seeds out.  Filled with cheese stuffing.  I cut some in half and added the filling.  I then rolled in egg wash and coated with flour/Panko mix.  Baked at 400* for approx. 25 minutes.
I did several and placed on a cookie sheet in the freezer and froze, then bagged for future dinners.
AS YOU CAN SEE - NO SPECIFIC RECIPE - I JUST KIND OF WING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
My filling was sort of derived from the zucchini boat recipe.

This is an 8 x 8 pan.  I placed a fork in there so you can see just 'how large' these peppers were!  Close to 4" long each!  YUM - and they weren't even hot!

I started doing a little bit of fall decorating yesterday as well.  My decorations are pretty generic for fall, so I can usually leave most out till Thanksgiving.  I will put a few odds and ends out for Halloween a little later.

This was just made from this and that.  A basket that I got last year when buying fruit, a country napkin, mason jars and a decoration I have had for years.

My front door wreath.  I have had this for years and last fall I added a bunch of new flowers (I had on hand) to improve it a bit.  (My security door gets a paint job this fall! - YIKES)

What are you doing to start your week?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!
