Reuben sandwiches

8 slices bread
butter
3T mustard
4T dill relish
8 slices swiss cheese
2/3lb ham
1/3lb corned beef
saurerkraut

Mix together mustard and relish. Spread on one side of sandwich, then layer cheese, meat, and cheese. Top with sauerkraut and other slice of bread. Grill sandwiches in butter on medium heat for 5 minutes per side.

I know the relish sounds odd, but it makes the sandwich.

After Thanksgiving (which I am suddenly hosting this year - eeks!), this blog will take a turn. I have posted all of my unique recipes, and would now like to share my favorite recipes that others have created. My plan is to post a year of meal plans, with links to recipes where possible. Eventually, we should have 365 dinners, as well as quite a few lunches. Then I'll have a master yearly meal plan that I can tweak for my schedule, adding in new recipes where I had unfortunately planned flops.

I won't post regularly until after the holiday, but until then, here's a preview of what's to come:
