I also wanted to say my husband started working this week. Yeah!!!! We made it. I know we did fine in great part because of all your prayers and well wishes. Thank you so much. I love all my bloggy friends so much. Now on to Slow Cooking Thursday.

I have two recipes today. I made both on Monday and it was a good and easy dinner.
I made Hot Ham Sandwiches and Black Forest Cake.

Hot Ham Sandwiches

( I cut this recipe in half for my family)
from Quick Cooking, Taste of Home's Magazine
3 lbs thinly sliced deli ham ( about 40 slices)
2 cups apple juice
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
12 kaiser rolls. split
additional sweet pickle relish, optional

Separate ham slices and place in a slow cooker. In a bowl, combine the apple juice, brown sugar, relish, mustard and paprika. Pour over ham. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through. Place 3-4 slices of ham on each roll. Serve with additional relish if desired. Serves :12

I served this with Cole Slow, Potato Salad and Veggies with Dip.

For Dessert we had:
