It is Super Bowl Sunday, and I am looking forward to the big game. It seems like this year's game has the makings of a close scoring contest, the best kind. I love a hard fought game with lots of back and forth lead changes. For me, I am leaning toward the Eagles, but either …

Sunday Ham Dinner and Leftovers
Are you cooking a ham today? It is a tradition in many households, and one that usually leaves a lot of leftovers. While having nice slices for sandwiches for a few days is nice, I usually want something else before we can finish it off. See my post on Ham Dinner and Ham Casserole to …
Ham Apple Salad Wraps
I had leftover ham from baking a large one recently. I wanted to do something different with the bits and pieces too small for slicing for sandwiches.
