Recipe for Tuna Melts:
1 6 oz. can of tuna, drained
1/2 cup of mayonnaise or Miracle Whip (you can use less or more if you want)
1/2 cup of grated cheese (I like using Cracker Barrel 2% sharp cheddar)
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 big squeeze of yellow mustard
6 pieces of bread
butter or margarine

Mix all the ingredients except for the butter and bread in a bowl. Butter the bread on one side. Place butter side bread in a skillet over medium heat. Top with the tuna mixture. Top with another piece of bread with butter side up. Toast the bread for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side. Makes three sandwiches.

Recipe for Apple Turnovers:
3 to 4 apples (any kind of apples will work, this is a great way to use up apples)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup of sugar
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
Pillsbury Just Roll Pie Crust
Sugar in the Raw (optional)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix cinnamon and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Peel, core, and chop apples. Mix apple with the cinnamon and sugar. On a greased cookie sheet with edges, roll out pie crust. Place equal amounts of apple mixture in each corner leaving a small edge. Place the other pie crust on top. Cut the pie crust into four section. Seal edges with a fork. Cut a small slit in the top of the crust to vent. Brush egg wash on top. Sprinkle with Sugar in the Raw. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Makes 4 turnovers.
