Reuben Roll, Collard Greens, and Meatballs

 Now that i am back home, I need to catch up on Kris and my favorites …… Rumor is, Tyler Florence, is quite nervous about me. I just might be the next food channel star!

Here it goes:

Reuben Roll

• french loaf bread 
• sauerkraut
• swiss cheese
• sliced corn-beef
• thousand island salad for dipping
• a 4 year old "assistant executive chef"

Yep, that is all you need.
Roll out the french loaf bread, add all ingredients, fold and roll the bread, smush down and seal, and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Collard Greens

• 1 1/2 quarts of water
• 1 1/2 lbs. ham hock
• 4 lbs. collard greens
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 1 finely chopped green bell pepper
• 1 finely chopped jalapeno, seeded and deribbbed
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• salt and pepper to taste

 Place ham hock and water in a pot with a tight-fitting lid. Bring water to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes.  Add collards and chopped ingredients to the pot.  Simmer covered for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add vegetable oil for the last 30 minutes.

Meatballs - Hummmm, I lost the recipe.  I'll be getting back with ya!
