Ham, Turkey and Cheese Stromboli Recipe

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: About 20 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ready to switch up pizza night? Gather your crew, grab pizza dough and your favorite toppings, and roll into something new—homemade strombolis!

Strombolis are rolled, baked pockets of deliciousness: a deconstructed pizza filled with savory meats, melty cheese, and tangy sauce. They’re ideal for a casual family dinner, an easy meal with friends, or a crowd-pleasing appetizer—especially on Game Day.

The best part? You can fill a stromboli with just about anything you’d put on a pizza. Leftover holiday meats and cheeses, vegetables, and meatballs—there are endless combinations to try.

This recipe features ham, turkey, two kinds of cheese, and one of our favorites: Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, which adds a bright, flavorful zing. Prefer a little heat? Try Cherchies® Hot Banana Pepper Mustard. Feeling festive? Cherchies® Cranberry Mustard is a great choice.

We’ve made this recipe dozens of times, and we love changing up the fillings to match what we have on hand. Try your own combination and let us know what you create using our products—we may feature your recipe!

For a complete meal, serve this stromboli with our Homemade Cherry Applesauce Recipe and a fresh salad.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza crust, refrigerated

• 2 (Tbsp) Tablespoons Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, Cherchies® Cranberry Mustard or Cherchies® Hot Banana Pepper Mustard

• 5-6 slices of ham

• 5-6 slices Provolone or Swiss Cheese

• 5-6 slices of turkey

• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese

• 1 egg, beaten

• Cherchies Garlic Seasoning or Cherchies Garlic 'n Herbs Seasoning Blend

• Flour for rolling

• Marinara sauce for dipping

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Rollin', rollin' rollin'.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle.

Spread the dough with the mustard of your choice, followed by a layering of ham, cheese, turkey, or whatever combination that pleases you.

Next, add the mozzarella cheese.  Starting with the long end, carefully roll up the filled dough.

Place the stromboli, seam side down on parchment paper, pinch together the ends to ensure the dough is completely sealed, cut small slits into the dough, and brush the dough with the egg.

Sprinkle the stromboli with Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning.   Cook the stromboli in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the outside is golden, as pictured. When stromboli is finished cooking, slice it and serve it with marinara sauce.  

Enjoy!

Stuffed Pepper Mummy Recipe

Stuffed Pepper Mummy Recipe

So, it's October, which means Fall.  Contrary to the typical conjured images of brilliant garnet, amber, and gold leaves, where the crisp air commands sweaters and bonfires, such is not the case in Pennsylvania.  It is 80 degrees and green!  I do not mind holding onto the tropical weather a bit longer, but at the same time, it is hard to think about Halloween when it feels like summer!

Do you like Halloween?   I don't know whether it is the inner child in me or the fact we have children, and their excitement over the years has excited us, but I have always been a sucker for party themes, themed food, theme decorations, etc., and Halloween is no exception.  

These stuffed mummy peppers are so stinking cute and the epitome of Halloween, spooky and fun (even if it is 80 degrees where you live)! They are quick and tasty, a fabulous use for leftover peppers, and are a delightful Halloween appetizer or snack. The filling possibilities are endless, but our favorite is our Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread, which is chock full of fresh vegetables and herbs.  You could also use chili or our Tomato Basil Cups filling to stuff the peppers. And talk about quality time in the kitchen!  Assembling the mummies is an ideal project for spending time with the kiddos, regardless of age.  Our children are teenagers now, but they still enjoy helping in the kitchen, especially when food is fun! Priceless!

Serve these mummies with our Festive Deviled Eyeballs, Witches Cheese Brooms, Spooky Jack-o-Lanterns, and Spooky English Muffin Pizzas for a very eerie Halloween feast!

*Note: for those with a spicier palate, instead of mini peppers, you could always substitute jalapeno peppers.

Thank you for stopping by!  Happy early Halloween!

Ingredients 

• 1 bag mini peppers (usually found in most grocery stores or bulk discount grocery stores, costco, Bj's, etc.), sliced in half, seeds removed

• Veggie Cream Cheese Spread Recipe  orTomato Basil Cup filling recipe

• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough, cut into thin strips (we used Pillsbury's newest product, crescent sheets.  You could easily use crescent rolls and pinch the seams together before cutting).

• Googly candy eyeballs (Wilton, I found these at my local party store)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Wash and cut peppers in half.  Remove seeds.  

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out pepper halves.  Fill each pepper with cheese mixture (see above).  Set aside.  On a lightly floured surface, with a sharp knife, cut the crescent rolls into thin strips (about 1/2 inch).  Carefully wrap the peppers, criss crossing the dough to resemble a mummy.  

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until dough is golden brown.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for five minutes.  Add googly candy eyes for that last minute spookiness.  (Important- do not be tempted to put the eyes on before baking, as they will disappear, literally, they will melt! Not that I've done that...ahem;) Serve and enjoy!

* Note: These pepper mummies could easily be made ahead and frozen before baking.

Serve these year-round.  Simply remove the eyes and you have a delicious appetizer or snack in minutes!

Tex-Mex French Bread Pizza Recipe

Tex-Mex French Bread Pizza Recipe

Cook Time:  10-15 minutes

Difficulty:  Extremely Easy!

I know there are some leftover haters out there. It's okay...I confess, I used to be one of them! Growing up, I did not understand the concept of eating a meal twice in a row, so as you can imagine, our dog was well-fed...sorry Mom if you're reading this...now you know;) Also, when it came to leftovers and wasting food, another thing I did not understand, my mom would often refer to a money tree growing in the backyard...except I never saw one!  Crazy parents! :)

As a mom of three, I totally get the concept of leftovers, saving money, wasting less, and of course, the money tree. (I have been known to tease our teenage children occasionally...they look at me like I am crazy...crazy kids).  

I see leftovers as a creative challenge to create new masterpieces, to save money, and to waste less. Amen!  For this round of leftovers, I made Tex-Mex French Bread Pizzas, using leftover chicken, sweet and robust Cherchies® Black Bean & Corn Salsa, savory Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning Blend, and of course French Bread and gooey cheese!  Sounds dreamy, right? These pizzas hit all the flavor notes and were devoured in minutes!

If you have not added French Bread Pizzas to your recipe cache, you need to do so, and this Tex-Mex version will quickly become a family favorite!  Your pizzas will disappear and so will your leftovers! The money tree?  Not so much!

What is your favorite French Bread Pizza Recipe?  We would love to hear from you!  Thank you for stopping by:)

Ingredients

• Leftover cooked chicken or turkey, diced (leftover ground meat or any meat for that matter would work)

• 1 baguette or Italian bread, sliced in half vertically

• Spaghetti or pizza sauce

• Cherchies® Black Bean & Corn Salsa

• Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning Blend

• About 2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese (but who's measuring?)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Slice a baguette or Italian bread in half vertically.  Place bread halves on a baking sheet.  Spread each slice with a generous amount of spaghetti or pizza sauce (maybe 1 cup?  It all depends on the size of the bread).  Sprinkle the diced chicken or turkey over the bread halves.

Next, add the Cherchies® Black Bean & Corn Salsa over the chicken.  Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of Cherchies® Chardonnay Lime & Cilantro Seasoning (or to taste).  Of course, what pizza wouldn't be complete without the cheese?  Add the cheese to you heart's delight...add some more...you decide, it's ok!

If you're wondering about the brown stuff in the first picture, it's taco meat.  I also had leftover taco meat I added to one half of the pizza (a previous pizza night:)  Plop the pizzas into the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until pizza is golden brown and the cheese is melty.  Slice into individual portions and enjoy!
