Here's a little bit more about Robin

Anyway....about me, my name is Robin LeCompte I'm a 29 year old mother of 2. I've been a daycare mom for 9 years now.  I have been cooking since I was about 5 with my grandmother, and enjoy cooking with my own kids, and daycare kids to this day.

Ham and Cheese Pockets

• 1 tube of Flaky refrigerated biscuits
• 1 ham steak (cute into small cubes)
• I package of Swiss cheese (cut into cubes or stripes)
• One beaten egg, with 2 Tablespoons of water

1. Divide the biscuits.  Lay five on a nongreased baking sheet, press them into a 5 inch circle.
2. Put a small amount of ham, and Swiss on each biscuit. Flatten the other 5 biscuits, and cover the ham and cheese.  With a fork, press around the edges to seal. 
3. Brush with beaten egg and water.
4. Bake in 350 oven till golden brown
   
   Note:  These work for ANY mean of the day, including breakfast.  My family likes them so much...I usually make them for dinner and we eat the left overs for breakfast.

Wonderful introduction to the world of New Mexico's cuisine! This is a super introduction to the habit-forming, varied cuisine of New Mexico! The recipes are tested in the Cooking School, so you can be sure that they are workable. Since I have attended three classes at the school, it is with confidence that I recommend this book. The recipe for New Mexican Green Chile and Cabbage Soup with Sausage alone is worth the price! There is a good list of sources for Southwestern ingredients in the back. My only criticism is that I find the layout of the index to be confusing.
