As we begin the New Year it seems that everyone is making resolutions. Mine is to get more fruits and vegetables into my children. We do really good at dinner time. We usually have at least one or two vegetable sides plus a spinach salad with all kinds of vegetables. It is breakfast and dinner…

Confetti Macaroni and Cheese
After a long weekend of being sick and not being able to tolerate any solids I am at least back to cooking. Not eating but cooking. This was a dish that my children helped create because we needed to get everything ready to go to dance class and I was trying to figure out how…
Sweet and Sour Ham
My kids go back to school the day after Labor Day. We are trying to take advantage of every minute we can at the beach and playgrounds. So, that means we often don’t even think about dinner until 8:00 pm or later. I tell my children we eat like Europeans. This was one of those…
Ham and Swiss Quiche II
So another day of me not thinking about dinner until just about 30-45 minutes before I need to have something on the table. I stood in front of the dwindling refrigerator wondering what I can have that will not be a repeat meal for my family. I came close. Not a great picture but this…
Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
Croque Monsieur
This was a hard meal to get a really good picture of as the top was all white with cheesy cream sauce. My children were especially fearful of this dish until I told them it was a toasted ham and cheese with cheese sauce on top. They were all for it after that….
Ham and Egg Cups
Dinner on Thursdays has become breakfast for dinner. I found this recipe in a Rachel Ray magazine although it is not a Rachel Ray recipe. Ingredients: 1 dozen slices of deli Virginia Baked Ham 1 dozen eggs diced green pepper, red pepper and onion (about 2/3 cup total) 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese…
Ham and Swiss Impossible Pie
I needed to find something quick using all the ingredients I had in my refrigerator and I came up with this. It is a take-off on Impossibly Cheeseburger Pie from Bettycrocker.com. It was a hit. Quick, easy and cheesy all the things my family and I love. Ingredients: 1 lb diced ham 1 Tablespoon of…
Cheesy Ham and Broccoli Casserole
Having left over ham from last night’s Hawaiian Pizza I created a casserole with bits and pieces I found in my cupboards and refrigerator. I usually don’t follow a recipe when making casserole because too often they contain a can or two of Cream of Something soup. Having a gluten-free son we don’t use creamed…
Hawaiian Pizza
Sorry for the horrible picture. It was done quickly before dinner was devoured! This is a dish that I pull out every once in a while and every groans and complains about until they taste it and remember how much they actually love it. I made it very easy this time starting with a…
Crockpot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
I found a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu at Allrecipes.com. I don’t like using canned soups in my cooking so I altered the recipe to: Ingredients 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1 1/2 cups of low-fat sour cream 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup chicken stock (low sodium) 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 4…
Cheese Potatoes with Ham
There is a story to go with the strange picture of our dinner above. There always is…. I made dinner last night but went out to dinner with friends. As it wasn’t completely cooked by the time I left I asked my daughter to take it out and take a picture of it before they…
