This week’s plan could be called using up ham week. Yes, I cooked a ham over the weekend and like many of you I have lots of leftovers to use up. One good thing about ham though is that there are so many ways to use the leftovers.
We also bought a new grill on Friday and I am excited to start using it this week. I will share more about what we got tomorrow, but I think I am going to love my new grill.
Now for this week’s plan.
Breakfast
baked egg cups (pictured above)
cereal
Dinner
easy alfredo and salad
pasta frittata ( I will use ham instead of bacon)and fruit
grilled sausages and potatoes
cowboy spaghetti and bread ( This never got made last week.)
sandwiches, oven fries, and fruit
pizza

I love to cook and bake, and it is a good thing, because my family loves to eat. I live with my husband and three kids on 43 acres in Northeastern Oklahoma. Between homeschooling, working on our property, taking care of three dogs, and raising hogs as a side job/hobby, I am constantly on the go like most of you.
What a yummy way to use up ham, Lynn!
Hope you guys had a fantastic Easter 🙂
my favorite way to “use up” leftover ham is to dice all the leftovers, then stick them in zip-freezer bags, and put them in the freezer. I’m not very good at cooking by recipes (part of why meal-planning hasn’t gone to well for me), so whenever I’m making something and I decide it needs some meat in it, I go to the freezer, grab a handful of diced ham, and toss it into the dish. I’ve done this with all types of meals including casseroles, stir fries, quinoa, taco-ish stuff, etc. It’s also wonderful for soups… I find it just gets me out of the “have to use this up now!” mode, and lets me just use it at my own pace, without wasting any…
