Sausage

Bacon and Cheddar brats, Crooked Gap, Good things.

Ham and Egg Sandwich

I broke out a ham, that we got from work around Thanksgiving, so this was one of the many uses of ham this week. Quick and easy.

Buttermilk Pancakes

Simple and inexpensive.

Southern Ham and Bean Soup

I didn’t want to break out and do the whole support thing, but did want to have some sort of ham soup, as soup season is pretty close to the end. I added extra vegetables, corn and peas which I had stashed in the freezer. It was pretty good with the mashed beans, celery, and onion were a good thickener. It was good.

Hot Honey Chicken & Broccoli with Spicy Soy Noodles

I used the rest of the jar of hot honey, which was maybe a little shy of 3 tablespoons, I reduced the broccoli a bit, due to the fact that Shannon isn’t that big of a fan of it. It was pretty quick to put together and came out nicely. A good dinner. I added a bit of extra extra spicy chili crunch.

Deviled Ham

Just a little bit of actual cooking. The shallots hit the pan and I slowly cooked them while prepping the other parts. I skipped the parsley, and used cornichons. The horseradish was from what is attempting to be a kosher refrigerated case at the supermarket. I’ve probably added more shallots, celery and cornichons than it called for, but it was still quite good. We it with crackers. It was nice

I also made muffins for Shannon’s work. So the muffins themselves were pretty good, but with the topping it created a imbalance where it seemed a bit to sweet on top, while the the rest was a little under-sweetened by comparison. Each side, fine by themselves, but combined it sort of messed up the base of the muffin. Perhaps if the “topping” was mixed throughout? I don’t know.
