Lazy Summer

I've spent almost the entirety of the past two days laying around watching movies with my kids.  It's kind of awesome.  Except that the house is showing the signs of my neglect.  Better that than the children, though.  Our meals, too, have become about as lazy as they come.  We have no pretenses about being fancy folk here, but I DO love to try new recipes.  This past week we tried two new versions of "old stand-bys" that were so fantastic I just had to share:  Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders.  My mouth is watering just thinking about them.  Who knew you could add roasted jalapenos and cream cheese to a plain ol' grilled cheese sandwich?  You should because it is to-die-for delicious!  And the ham and cheese sliders -- all gooey swiss cheese smothered in poppy seed sauce with just a hint of mustard -- my, my, my.  Too yummy.  I hope you give them a try and let me know if you liked them!
