Easter…HAM.
Need I say more?
I’m not a huge meat eater, but when a slice of honey-glazed ham finds it’s way onto my plate, this inner carnivore wakes up like a grizzly bear out of hiding.
I blame Joseph.
He doesn’t care for ham, so Easter is the only time I really make it. Thus, my deprivation!
The leftovers though…are the best part.
There are dozens—no hundreds—of ways to use leftover ham. And for more than just a sandwich. Although a gooey grilled ham and cheese sounds so good right about now!
I’m talking soups, casseroles, quiche, and just about any other recipe in your collection that calls for ham, but you never make. Probably because you’re like me and don’t always have holiday meat hanging out in your freezer to experiment with.
Well, my friend, dust off those ham-loaded recipes, because this time of year is when you can finally get your fix. Try one of the amazing dishes for an easy breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
You already pulled off a huge Holiday meal with flying colors, now it’s time to rock the leftovers!

Everything looks delish! Thanks for including my Deviled Ham Salad. I almost can’t wait to have leftover ham!!
