RECIPES BEGINNING WITH 'h'

Crescent rolls are fabulous to have in the refrig for last minute meals. Better than a plain sandwich, it's ham and cheese with a buttery, flaky texture.

When you need a hands-off bakes-by-itself recipe, start with ground pork and think meatloaf -- only better. This takes less than 10 minutes to mix, shape and then slide into the oven. Bake potatoes at the same time and voilĂ , a perfect dinner from your oven one hour later.

This makes a satisfying meal that the whole family will like. The milk, peas and potato combo is especially comforting on cold, rainy days.

These are quick and delicious for snacks or appetizers: crispy slices of baguette topped with herbed cream cheese and veggie slices. Excellent with either thinly sliced cucumbers or tomatoes with a sprinkle of basil.

I was having dinner at The Cookery in Fish Creek, WI when another journalist commented on the 'homemade ginger ale' on the menu. I just had to try it! I was not disappointed with its pure zingy ginger flavor and zestiness of 'real fresh ginger' ale. Commercial ginger ale can't compare! Thanks to The Cookery for generously sharing their recipe here.
