Happy Monday everyone. Hope everyone on the East Coast is doing ok. Winter weather is coming, and depending on where you live, may already be there! I didn't get to make sushi as planned tonight, but that's ok. I played around with the sushi kit, and attempted rolling a tuna and cream cheese roll. There was way too much nori and not enough filling. It ended up tasting like chewy nori and not much else. Oh well, at least I have one bit of experience before I dive headlong into it tomorrow.
I don't think I'll be posting recipes on Saturdays because I usually go out to dinner. Possibly not Sunday either, especially if I'm not home. But weekdays I will try to post something every day. For today, a quick snack idea:
Ingredients:
2 slices Ham, turkey, or roast beef lunch meat
1/3 c. cream cheese
1/2 c. baby spinach
2 oz solid cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, etc)
1/2 tsp paprika
basil and oregano
Needed: sharp knife, cutting board, toothpicks
Lay meat flat on the board. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with the spices. Spread mixture onto meat. Take off stems if you want and lay spinach leaves on the meat. Slice cheese thinly, about 1/4 in thick, 1 in wide, and 4 in long (or two 2 in pieces). Lay cheese along the edge of the meat and roll up everything. Stick 4 toothpicks in the top with equal space in between. Use the knife to cut rolls apart and serve. I dipped mine in some leftover pesto sauce.
While you can make this for a quick snack, it will also work for a party. Stay warm and drink your tea!
