Ham Panini Sandwiches with …

November 15, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I had a few nights this week where it was just me for dinner!  Wow. Not used to cooking for one.  I had some ham so both nights ended making ham paninis with various fixings and a simple green salad with tomatoes from the garden. First up was a Panini sandwich with some thinly sliced [...]

Oh So Simple White Bean and Ham Soup

November 8, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

This is from The Supper Book: 10th Anniversary Edition by Marion Cunningham. Kind of funny–you can buy a hardcover of this on Amazon (used) for $3 (plus shipping) but the paperback version, that I have is $8 (still a deal!). This is so simple, but so delicious. Certainly frugal, let’s see $1 for the beans, [...]

Ham, Cheese and Apple Panini

October 6, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I made some macaroni and cheese tonight for dinner but felt like we needed a bit more as well, plus I was bringing dinner over to my broken-leg neighbor. I decided on a small panini and brought him some vegetable soup from last night as well.  I had some ham and cheddar cheese as the [...]

Leftover Turkey and Leftover Ham

My sister is a wonder. She manages to host a fantastic Christmas dinner for our extended family AND send me home with some leftover ham and turkey. In addition to making our traditional turkey sandwich spread, I made a turkey pot pie with the turkey. With the ham, I did a few breakfasts of scrambled [...]

Applesauce glaze for baked ham

January 2, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I baked a half a ham shank for New Year’s dinner, going with the southern tradition of collard greens, cornbread, and blackeyed peas as well. I’ve basically been happy with every ham I’ve baked and the only changes I make are with the different glazes. The maple syrup/brown sugar/mustard glaze is delicious but I felt [...]

Split Pea Soup / Leftover Ham

March 31, 2004 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

When I bake a ham, there are always lots of leftovers. I always make sure I dice up a bunch of the ham and freeze it in two cup portions, roughly. I don’t actually measure. I fill a few sandwich bags of diced ham and then put each sandwich bag in a gallon freezer bag. [...]

Never-The-Same-Way-Twice Soup and Ham Lo Mein

Leftovers. A blessing and a curse at times. I went all out for Christmas and roasted a turkey and baked a ham. Our turkey gets used up pretty quickly between sandwiches and a great turkey soup I made. I made the broth from the carcass on Christmas evening after dinner. Refrigerated it in a big [...]

This is similar to macaroni and cheese but is made with egg noodles and Swiss cheese. I cut the [...]
