Easter.
The Cross. The Resurrection.
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.
And when the meal is over and the leftover ham is packed away, I like to dream about what I’ll do with the extra ham. (And some years, what I’ll do with the extra ham that I scored on sale that week!)
If you’re having ham for your Easter dinner, I imagine you’ll have leftovers. Because there are always leftovers.
Here are some ideas for recipes to use up your leftover Easter ham:
Perfect for a holiday breakfast and a great way to use up leftover ham! A delightful dish with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry!
