Another recipe inspired by leftover ham, like Black Bean and Ham Pilaf and Roasted Pepper-Rice One Pot. The utter simplicity (stupidity ;-)) of this recipe shows that I wrote it. It is nothing more than what the title says, plus chicken broth. It is very good! 3 cups chicken broth (2 cans)1 bag frozen turnip,… Continue reading Ham, Rice, and Greens

Black Bean and Ham Pilaf
We have made this countless times, especially when the kids were younger, and we were happy to see that they also liked it. It makes a lot, to serve half and freeze the other half, and that, in itself was also a good use of parental time. And a way to use up leftover ham,… Continue reading Black Bean and Ham Pilaf
Hurst’s 15-Bean “Hambeens” Soup
Hurst’s makes a couple of dry-bean combinations, and this one is from the bag of the the 15-bean mixture. That peculiar way of writing “ham beans” denotes that there is a ham-flavor seasoning packet.

We all liked it, with one criticism, that the taste of the olive oil clashed with the taste of the ham. My advice is to either… Continue reading Pasta with Peas and Ham

Potato & Ham Steak Soup
This reminds me of the creamy potato soup that you used to get at the now-defunct Bennigan’s restaurant. We had eaten there quite a few times until the end, and really, the potato soup was the only thing we truly miss. That and the “Southwestern Egg Rolls”. Everyone in our household loves this soup. But… Continue reading Potato & Ham Steak Soup
