8 slices mozzarella or white American cheese (2-oz. slices) I used mozzarella
Salt and pepper to taste

This cookbook has recipes from Holiday Inns all over the world. It's got quite a variety of dishes in it. This recipe is from the Holiday Inn located in Marshall, TX (well, it was there in the 60s-70s, I'm not sure if it's still there). It was simple but tasty, and even with all that cheese (I definitely could have used less) it somehow didn't seem too heavy. I could see making this again.
Now that grocery night has rolled around again, it's safe to tell you that I spent less money on groceries this past week than I have in a long time. I hit my main store and the auction for produce and that was it. Well, I picked up a head of cauliflower in Wal-Mart for a buck but I usually hit the other local grocery store at least once on the weekend or during the week but I didn't. I forgot to buy croutons but I made some out of hamburger buns I had in the freezer and they were great. I'm really trying to spend less money on groceries. Hopefully I'll do as well this week.
Blast From The Past: Crunchy Baked Chicken from April 2006. I can't believe I haven't made it again since I loved the recipe.
Question of the Day: Have you ever stayed at a Holiday Inn?

We used to stay at a Holiday Inn when we'd go watch the Lethbridge Air Show, I think. They had an indoor pool, which was nice because we could float around after spending the day in 100' weather in a field. Is that zucchini on the plate too? Looks good.
Yep, that's just some zucchini I sautéed with Italian seasoning and then I added a bit of tomato sauce that I had in the freezer, leftover from something else.
Oh, yes. A long time ago it seems there weren't as many choices as there are nowadays. So we haven't been to one in a long time. But back when, it was usually that or "No-Tell Motel".
Yep! We don't have a usually place we stay, but HOliday Inn is in the list of options.
Not only have I stayed at a Holiday Inn...I spent my wedding night there after having my reception there as well :)!

I am looking for a recipe from the Holiday Inn Cookbook from the early 70's. Millionaire salad with black cherries, a fruit salad.
Also Stuffed mushrooms with sausage.
These were delicious.
My book got destroyed in a house fire.
