Week of the Ham

Hi!!! Want to know what one of the perks of living at my address is??

Yep, ham. 

I live where my mom & dad used to live, and where all the Christmas hams used to be delivered. Some of the companies didn't get the address change... so we still end up with 1 or 2 hams! Don't tell Mom & Dad!! Oh, oops!

Yes, that is a lot of butter & sour cream on my potato. That's how I like it! :) Good and buttery.

Today I made ham & bean soup with some of the leftovers. It wasn't bad for ham & bean soup. Its never my favorite, but this was yummy, specially with the snow falling. Made soup fitting.

This soup was hearty and tasty... although I didn't have brats on hand, but had some Italian turkey sausage. Thought it'd be an easy substitute, but I wasn't a big fan. Aaron couldn't tell and thought it was great. Too "spicy" for me. The brats would have been more "laid back & easy" in the soup.

It really was worth the work, I probably will make this again with brats. :) 

I'll be back soon with a super easy potato soup recipe. You think I'm joking, right? I'm not. And it has ham. We still have more in the fridge. :) And I'm also hosting Sunday dinner tomorrow for the fam. We have a HUGE pork loin to share, so I'm making that 2 ways with cauliflower gratin. Can't wait!!
