It's ALMOST Here!!!

The New Year is almost here! WOW! Isn't this photo pretty? Have you ever felt like this? Standing before a bridge in life that you must cross over....not really sure what's on the other side?? Oh the mystery...oh the intrigue! This new year is going to bring a lot of CHANGE to my home and life....I'm sure I'll blog about it all along the way....cuz once you're a blogger....well you're a blogger! Only my bloggie friends will truly understand that one-HA!

Did everyone have a beautiful Christmas? My Christmas isn't over until Jan 1st when I get to pack up the kids and visit with my parents...I can't wait to see them! Family is just great this time of year, aren't they?

For fun here's a partial repost that has some wonderful leftover uses for Ham. I prefer my leftover ham on a big fluffy roll with loads of mayo and a squirt of Dijon mustard as sandwiches all week long...but here's some others:
Ham
First Meal: Nice sliced Ham dinner with whatever sides you like.
Leftover meals:
Great northern beans w/chopped ham added and cornbread
Sliced hot ham sandwiches with melted American or Swiss cheese on buns, serve with baked beans.
Scalloped potatoes w/ham chunks, maybe with fruit and salad. I honestly just buy the Betty Crocker box of cheese (Au gratin?) or scalloped potatoes and make according to box recipe but add cubed ham to them...you could slice your own potatoes and make a white or cheese sauce and layer it all up but I get the box for this one.
Mac and Cheese w/ham chunks I like to throw peas in but the kids hate it this way so I don't do it as often.
Ham salad sandwiches- grind ham, add mayo and relish.
Ham and cheese omelet
Ham and cheese Quiche- this is an egg pie, just line a pie plate with a shell, fill with ham, shredded cheese, maybe some chopped veggies if you have them.Then mix 2 cups milk with about 3 eggs and some salt and pepper. Stir well and pour into pie plate till it reaches the top- you may have leftover egg mix if your pie plate is really full- just pitch it. Cook about 350 degrees till egg is set, maybe 35-45 mins....again maybe longer depends on how fat your pie is. Let cool for about 10 mins or so, cut and eat.
