1 cup milk chocolate chips

Laundry Detergent

Adapted from Why Not Sew?:

I know this isn't an edible recipe, but it is a recipe nonetheless, and I need to put it somewhere I can find it easy. I make and use this all the time and my clothes get totally clean and end up scented only from the dryer sheets I use, which I am fine with.

Combine in a LARGE pot (canning pot - $2 at D.I.):
1 bar of soap grated (any brand or scent)
1 gallon hot water

Put over medium high heat on stove top until soap dissolves

Add:
1 cup borax
1 cup washing soda
(both can be found in the laundry detergent aisle, usually on the top or bottom shelf, borax says "10 mule team BORAX" brand, washing soda is arm and hammer brand and looks like a large box of baking soda but says it is washing soda and the box may be a different color than cooking baking soda.)

Stir occasionally and allow to "cook" until everything is dissolved, then take it off the heat and immediately stir in:
1 gallon cold water

Pour into 2- 1 gallon jugs or in old liquid laundry detergent containers. This coagulates when it cools, if it gets too thick, use a knife to "stir" it and shake. Next time you make it don't cook it as long or use 1/2 bar of soap.

For an extra large load of laundry I use about 3/4 cup of detergent, although the place I found this said you can get away with 1/2 a cup per load, which is estimated to be $6.00 for 576 loads of laundry ($6 is the approx. total cost for borax, washing soda, and bars of soap.) SWEET!

Ham and Cheese Sliders

adapted from the girl who ate everything: 

Makes 24 sliders:

24 good white dinner rolls

24 slices of deli ham
2 triangles of fontina cheese or 24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip

Poppy seed sauce 
1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. But I usually use it all because it is so delicious! Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.

** sandwiches can be assembled a day ahead and kept in the fridge ready to bake.
