Easter.
The Cross. The Ressurection.
Family. Worship. Celebration.
Food. Ham. Potatoes. Asparagus. Carrots. Pies. Puddings. Cheesecake.
I can almost taste that delicious, sweet, salty, perfectly baked ham. Can’t you?
I love gathering around the table. I love gathering around the table with family. I love gathering around the table with family and catching up, telling stories and cherishing the moment.
If you’re having ham for your Easter dinner, I imagine you’ll have leftovers. Because there are always leftovers. I shall leave you with a few different types of recipes to use up that leftover ham:
Ranchero Black and Pinto Beans
Pasta with White Beans and Broccoli
And remember, if you don’t think you’ll use the leftovers right away, slice and/or dice the ham…then freeze!
What’s your favorite recipe that uses up that leftover holiday ham?

These recipes look wonderful and I am always looking for ways to use up that leftover ham. However, did I miss something? I’m only seeing 3 recipes.

I like the fritata.
I love to use the bone to make Soup Beans and cornbread. We use leftover ham to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
