Welcome!

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!

Hoagie Casserole

This turned out to be a very fun surprise! I was cruising around the internet trying to get some inspiration when I ran across a recipe that used salami. I had just been given some homemade salami from a friend who makes his own every year at Christmastime. And to top it off, the recipe used Crescent rolls...which I am totally addicted to right now. I'm not a fan of Swiss cheese so I changed that in my recipe to Gouda...which turned out fan-TAS-tic! Anyway...this casserole is very good and something that's different! It tastes just like a sandwich!! It could also be used as an appetizer....just cut it into smaller squares! How fun is THAT?
