I made ham steaks with maple apple sauce. Simple and delicious. For the last few years we have been buying a boneless ham from our local butcher. I love the convenience but I do miss having the bone to make a winter soup out of. Thanks for the recipe and have a fantastic Friday. <br />Fi Fiona Chainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982181165314399167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-70475880213744538892017-01-12T21:36:09.342+10:002017-01-12T21:36:09.342+10:00As you, we had ham.

I have a vacuum sealer, so the meat stays nice and fresh. We will eat from the one ham nearly all year -- it was on sale at Aldi's for .39 a pound, so I bought a 13 pound one for around $5. We will use it in sandwiches, soups, sliced, chopped in omelets and frittatas, with noodles, and on and on... I love seeing how far I can stretch it and how many different ways I can do it! I always learn from you yet another way! :)mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749881104429358524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-13618693867173593912017-01-12T15:44:58.924+10:002017-01-12T15:44:58.924+10:00One call do a lot with left overs.

I think the meals at home came out of a box or can. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447112312199912513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-30105895583330306912017-01-12T14:07:44.832+10:002017-01-12T14:07:44.832+10:00My mother-in-law made a ham the day after Christma...My mother-in-law made a ham the day after Christmas and we all ate on it for about five days while staying with them. She sent the rest of it home with us--I fed the skin/fat/gristle that we cut off our own slices and off the bone to the chickens, cut the good meat off the bone (as much as possible), and the ham bone is now in my freezer waiting to go into a crockpot of split pea soup next week. <br /><br />I tend to make a quiche more often than frittata, just because I like the pie crust with it. Last night I made quiche and made the crust out of hash brown potatoes, which was quite tasty and a nice change. The kids liked it better than my usual crust, actually, which they sometimes eat and sometimes feed to the chickens. (I don't like to waste food, and as much as I can I make sure we use as much as possible ourselves, but I am very glad to have the hens to help take care of the scraps!)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173788247672691139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22821138955850733412017-01-12T13:38:39.147+10:002017-01-12T13:38:39.147+10:00We had a very quiet Christmas here at home.

I cut the pudding up and froze what we couldn't eat. The only thing that didn't get used up in time was the cream. I bought a big container when I really only needed to get a small one. <br />I love Frittata.

When only the bone was left, I bunged it into my dutch oven, covered it with water and boiled it for a couple of hours. I now have 2 large containers of stock in the freezer, ready for some veggie soup.<br /><br />I'll give your frittata a go, I haven't added potatoes to mine before.<br /><br />Cheers - Joolz xxJoolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-33143217319684541222017-01-12T13:04:48.668+10:002017-01-12T13:04:48.668+10:00We did manage to use all our leftovers, we put the...We did manage to use all our leftovers, we put the turkey legs in the freezer for another day & the ham bone went in for making soup when the weather is cool, we mostly ate toasted ham & tomato sandwiches & apart from the turkey legs, we cleaned up the turkey in a couple of days with salad or vegies.

I have just retired from my paid work and love your philosophy of living mindfully at home and enjoying the tasks that make our home run, if not smoothly, at least smoother. I used up the Christmas ham in split pea soup. One of our favourites! Of course in Saskatchewan Canada we need warming suppers right now! It's -30 with the wind chill!<br /><br />I love that you have decided to continue your blog, I love catching up with you!<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Wendy Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547904672282371751noreply@blogger.com
