I missed this the first time and clicked in to suggest soup and quiche! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1468167 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 21:25:00 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1468167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Yay! What you made sounds delicious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1467849 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 19:22:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1467849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: thanks for the soup suggestion! It came out delicious!<br /> My ham actually had a bone so I cut that out and let it simmer while I was doing prep. Then added a quart of pork stock I had made previously and frozen. I used celery, carrots, onions, garlic. I had no beans actually so I added one white and one sweet potato and some leftover Kale. Some fresh thyme and just a pinch of garlic salt &amp; pepper. It came out delicious, fragrant and hearty! </p> <p>@looch: also made ham, spinach &amp; cheese quiche! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1466528 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:13:54 +0000 Thenetexan 1466528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I add green onions and black pepper, but we love these and they do great in the freezer. <a href="http://weelicious.com/2010/09/20/ham-cheese-muffins/" rel="nofollow">http://weelicious.com/2010/09/20/ham-cheese-muffins/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1466497 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:07:03 +0000 PurplePumps 1466497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Potato and ham casserole! <a href="http://southernfood.about.com/od/scallopedpotatoes/r/bl30204v.htm" rel="nofollow">http://southernfood.about.com/od/scallopedpotatoes/r/bl30204v.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1466480 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:01:28 +0000 Dandelion 1466480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ham salad...my gramma used to make it. It's like chicken salad, but with ham. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1466471 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:56:42 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1466471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: This is probably what I would make (which is really close to the recipe I used on Sunday. I also added mushrooms and cabbage):<br /> I would saute carrots, celery, and onions, maybe some garlic, in a soup pot with olive oil for 5ish minutes.<br /> Add the ham, maybe some spinach or spring mix, and some herb/spices for another 3 minutes to heat the ham, wilt the spinach, and make the spices aromatic. I use Herbes de Provence a lot, or rosemary, thyme, or oregano would be good too.<br /> Then I would add beans (one can), a carton of chicken broth (maybe 4 cups) and any dried pasta you have. I did not pre-cook the orzo and the soup was definately more of a stew, but it didn't soak up too much of the broth. I simmered the soup for 15 minutes and added salt and pepper to taste.</p> <p>Hopefully you can use up a ton of your produce! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-ham#post-1466410 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:39:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1466410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: good idea! But we just had spaghetti on Saturday and LO had it for lunch yesterday. So I think she's a little Spaghetti'd out. LOL</p> <p>I think I'm going to do soup and quiche for tonight. That way I can freeze the extra quiche for breakfasts! And if there's enough ham I'll do fried rice tomorrow since I'll be flying solo again and will likely be late due to work.</p> <p>Thanks ladies!</p> <p>@TemperanceBrennan: how long do you simmer it for given that the ham is already cooked. And do you pre-cook the orzo a bit separately before putting into the soup since it soaks up so much liquid. I actually have a bunch of pork stock in the freezer I can use too!
