I'm glad that I learned years ago how to take what some people toss out and make it into something as good as ham and beans. With food prices going up so fast, it really helps with the grocery bill to know how to stretch the meals a person can make from one ham.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-346576610763762102014-04-22T21:00:20.426-05:002014-04-22T21:00:20.426-05:00Love "Ham & Beans."

Nothing much better than that, especially on a cold day.

I like to pressure can ham as well, and use it for scalloped potatoes or ham salad, etc.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-60556072465171329892014-04-22T20:38:51.746-05:002014-04-22T20:38:51.746-05:00Vicki, keep an eye on the Walmart sales flyers.

When that happens we buy several and freeze some of them.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-54425780197655737702014-04-22T19:41:34.364-05:002014-04-22T19:41:34.364-05:00CottonLady...Oh, it was good!!
