    Ingredients

    • 24 Ritz crackers

    • 6 slices ham

    • 6 slices cheddar cheese

    • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

    • 2 tablespoons mustard

    • 1 cup lettuce leaves

    Directions

    • Gather all your ingredients including the Ritz crackers, ham slices, cheddar cheese slices, mayonnaise, mustard, and lettuce.
    • Lay out 12 Ritz crackers on a large platter or serving board to form the base of your sandwiches.
    • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each cracker, ensuring an even coverage for added creaminess and flavor.
    • Place a slice of ham on each cracker, trimming the edges if necessary so the ham fits nicely on top of the cracker.
    • Cut the cheddar cheese slices into quarters, then place one piece on top of the ham layer on each cracker.
    • Add a small piece of lettuce on top of each cheese slice, ensuring it doesn’t overhang too much from the cracker.
    • Mix the mustard and remaining mayonnaise in a small bowl, then spread a thin layer on the lettuce leaves.
    • Top each sandwich with another Ritz cracker, pressing down gently to hold the layers together.
    • Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Jack in the Box Teamed Up With Hot Ones — And You Have Until July 22 to Try It

    Spicy food has a few genuine health benefits — capsaicin, the compound that creates heat in chili-based sauces like the Hot Ones Sriracha, has been linked to temporarily boosting metabolism and reducing inflammation. That said, the sandwiches in this collab are still high in sodium and saturated fat. The Jr. Chicken Sandwich at $3.99 is a meaningfully lighter option than the full Chick-N-Tater Melt, delivering the Hot Ones Buffalo flavor experience with less overall calorie and fat load. And if you’re adding The Last Dab Apollo — the 3 million Scoville hot sauce — start with a tiny amount; a little goes a very long way.

    The Food of Summer Evenings: What to Cook When Time Slows Down

    The Mediterranean evening meal pattern — characterized by a long, gradual meal with multiple small courses, eaten slowly over one to two hours, often outdoors in the company of others — has been associated in nutritional research with lower rates of overeating, better digestion, and greater meal satisfaction compared to the rushed, single-course meal common in Northern European and American eating patterns. The pace of the meal, not just its content, affects how much is eaten and how satisfying the eating experience is — making the summer evening long table a health practice as much as a social one.
