Ham

Okay, so here's the deal.  I'm not really all that creative.  So you're gonna get titles like "Ham".  How original is that??  It just kinda stinks.  But that's the title.  So there it is.

I've had a lot of people ask me about how we homeschool and about cooking, so this is what most of my posts will be about.  If we have anything as exciting as the Beans, Rice and Tap Water I'll blog about that too.

So here we go.  Oh.  And I'm really a pretty private person, so putting this out there for everyone to see is kinda different for me.  So we'll see how this goes.  Anyway....

I bought a huge ham this week and decided to use it for three or four meals.  Tonight I just sliced several slices for Katie to heat up on the griddle to go with the rest of our meal.  And a big THANKS to our youth minister for pointing me in the direction of these fabulous potatoes.  Oh wow!

While Katie was finishing dinner, I diced up the rest of the ham.  I'll use half for a chef salad on Thursday and the other half for a Ham and Scalloped potato recipe next week.  The leftovers from tonight will be made into yummy grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch.

That's how I do a lot of our cooking.  I'll cook once and get several meals off of it.  Or in this case.  Just buy one large item and get it prepared for several meals all at once.  I try to put something in the freezer several times a week.

Now I'm off to put some black beans in the crock pot to cook over night.  Yep.  More beans!  Half of these will be for burritos and half will be made into a black bean/corn relish kinda thing for next week.

Thanks for reading!  Let me know if there's anything in particular that you want me to blog about in regards to homeschooling or cooking.  Or anything else!
