Along with desserts, we've got lots of Honey Baked Ham leftover. Hey, wish I could serve you all. That would be less I would have to eat.

I bought eggroll buns for ham samies. I plan on using the end piece for my red beans and rice.

Was wondering if ya'll had any good recipes you could share with me using the ham. What about a good ham salad recipe? Suggestions, recipes?

My mother has a one of those mini processor's you can leave on the countertop like and it just does a quick chop~up job of the meat...
She'll use either a ham or a ham steak piece, or smoked pork chop and grinder' up and then makes a mayo spread with it on either wheat or rye and pickles.. or tomatoes.. *or what ever your liking would be*.. gives the sandwich a twist..

Hi joclyn,
Thanks! I am going to use the butt end for my red beans. Today I'm cooking white beans and will add some of that great ham. Look forward to your ham salad recipes! Thanks again.

weezie,
Sounds de-lish. Thanks!

Brunch Salad

1/2 cup uncooked macaroni, 1 cup diced cooked ham, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1 can (8 oz) green beans drained & sliced, 1 can (8 oz) pineapple chunks drained, 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds, lettuce leaves

dressing: 1/4 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayo or salad dressing, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp ground allspice

cook the macaroni in boiling water to cover for about 8 minutes (until tender) then drain and rinse under cold water.

while macaroni is cooking, combine ham, celery, beans and pineapple and set aside. then, blend sour cream/mayo, lemon juice & allspice in a bowl.

mix the drained macaroni into the ham mix. fold in the dressing and transfer to lettuce lined serving dish (or individual bowls/dishes). sprinkle with the almonds and serve.

can be doubled or halved. can also use cooked turkey or chicken instead of ham. can be chilled for a couple of hours beforehand or served immediately.

make the dressing by putting the yolk in a bowl and adding the mustard, vinegar and salt and blend well. add the brown sugar, oil, parsley and paprika and mix.

pour dressing over ingredients in salad bowl and then cover and refrigerate for at least two hours so flavors blend.

you're welcome!! i had another one for salad and couldn't find it. you'll definitely like the brunch one (you can substitute peas or some other kind of bean for the greenbeans). the other you'll like if you like beets...

i also have a couple of good casserole recipes (for ham) if you want them too!

i broke my foot back at the beginning of sept (fell at work) and it didn't heal properly. it's been exactly one week since i was able to get rid of that-darn-cast. and i don't miss it at all!!!
