What are you doing with the left over Ham from Easter?

[mom of 2 boys]

I have lots left. I was thinking grilled ham steaks, cube some and freeze it for pizza's and lentil soup with ham. I will still have lots left. Need more idea's.

Well, we had turkey, but I did fix a ham last weekend.  We ate the leftovers with scalloped potatoes for dinner on Tuesday...yum!

I usually make ham salad. I also make mac and cheese with ham as a main dish, ham green beans and potatoes in the crock pot, bean soup, ham, eggs, and potato skillet. Potato ham and swiss soup. I will keep thinking. I have a lot of leftover ham too.

I don't think my ham will stay around too long as I have three college kids home yet today so I'm sure they will be nibbling but if there is any leftover, I will make some scalloped ham potatoes. I do have the ham bone ready to boil away and then the broth will be made into pea soup at a later date.  If we're lucky we might have a few slices left for a sandwich or two but if not I did buy two extra hams last week and have them in the freezer for a later time.

Alice do you boil the ham bone right away to make a broth and freeze it for later then? I like that idea if you do.

Maleesa,

I didn't boil the ham bone right away since I wanted to chat with the family. I boiled it last night (Monday) and picked the meat off. I refrigerate it overnight and take the fat off the top. I can either use the broth for soup or freeze it for a later date.

I really don't have a recipe. I make a basic creamy  potato soup with a couple cups of dice ham and 1/2 # to a pound of swiss cheese to taste. It is not low calorie but it is yummy.

We are boring and just snadwiches and today it will be ground up and froze for ham salad sandwiches when we are in hurry.I dont add anything till after I take out of freezer.

I ended up cooking up a turkey yesterday and am going to freeze it in a few bags. I decided on Turkey salad ( using up turkey) and Chicken cordon blue ( using up turkey and ham) making it. So there is a couple meals I came up with for next week.
