Another Favorite Meal, Restaurant Style Sub Sandwiches

This is a meal that we don't have too often, and I'm not exactly sure why.  It's delicious and super easy!

To make these awesome sandwiches you'll need the following ingredients:

Hoagie Sandwich Rolls
Canadian Bacon
Pepperoni
Salami
Mozzarella Cheese
Ranch Dressing

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Place desired amount of hoagies open faced on a cookie sheet.  On one side of the hoagie, line with Canadian Bacon to cover and then top with Pepperoni.  On the other side line with Salami.  Top with desired amount of Mozzarella Cheese on both sides -- a little goes a long way.

Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese starts to turn brown on the edges.  Keep a close eye on them, they cook quickly!  Cool for 3 minutes, top with a small amount of Ranch Dressing, and fold sandwich together.  Slice in half and enjoy!

Honey Balsamic Chicken Breast

Ingredients

4 - 6 Chicken Breasts

1/2 cup European Dipping Oil- Mediterranean Balsamic
1/2 cup Honey
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Soy Sauce 

Mix the Balsamic Dipping Oil, Honey, Brown Sugar, and Soy Sauce in a freezer bag. Shake and squeeze the contents of the bag to dissolve the honey and brown sugar. Add the chicken to the bag. Remove air and either marinate 2 hours or freeze. Defrost in fridge. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Place the chicken breast on a foil-lined and greased baking sheet. Bake until the skin is caramelized and very dark in spots, about 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, place leftover marinade in a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil for 5 minutes, in order to kill bacteria. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 30 minutes and set aside. Use a pastry brush to brush the cooked marinade onto the cooked chicken or serve marinade alongside as a sauce/gravy.

Chipotle Lime Summer Salad

Ingredients

3 ears Corn
1 1/2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
1 1/2 teaspoons Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub
1 bag Spring Mix Lettuce
1/2 cup Shredded Carrots
1 Cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 cup diced Onions
1 large Tomato, chopped
1 Avocado, diced
1/4 cup Wildtree Italian Dressing, prepared 

Cook or grill corn on the cob, then cut corn off the cob and place in a bowl while still warm with butter and chipotle lime rub. Stir until mixed. In a separate large salad bowl, combine the greens and veggies. Top salad with corn and avocado. Serve with Italian Dressing on the side.

My All Time Favorite Childhood Meal - Tunafish Casserole

My Mom used to make this recipe for me ALL the time when I was little.  It was my absolute favorite.  I believe she got the recipe from a church cookbook, but I'm not sure what church or even how long ago. Normally I cook this in a glass casserole dish about 8x8, but in this case I only had a metal pan available and it worked just as well.  Not only is this quick and easy to make, but it's also budget friendly!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Ingredients:

• Can of Tuna, drained
• Can of Cream of Chicken Soup (or Cream of Mushroom)
• 1 Cup Cheddar, shredded (I prefer Sharp)
• 1 Small Onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces Elbow Noodles, cooked according to package directions
• 1 Sleeve Saltine Crackers, crushed 
• 3 Tbsp Butter

1.  Preheat oven to 350.

2.  While your noodles are cooking, in a casserole dish combine Tuna, Cream of Chicken Soup, Cheddar Cheese, and Onion.

3.  Melt Butter in Frying Pan and add Crushed Crackers, stirring continuously on Medium Heat until browned.

4.  Once noodles are cooked, stir into soup mixture.  Smooth evenly.

5.  Top casserole with crushed crackers

6.  Bake for 30 mins.  

Update:  I'm on a healthy living track and I made a healthier version.  It turned out just as great.  See below for alternate ingredients and nutrition info.
