Ham and Bean Stew

Leftover Easter ham becomes a new heart warming dish in just a few easy steps.  Made in a slow cooker with minimal fuss, this dish is robust and delicious!
I prefer a spiral cut ham but one that is not too sweet.  This year I tried King Soopers brand, spiral honey ham and was pleasantly surprised by the balance of smoky ham flavor, versus the honey.  A happy marriage of sweet and salty. 
Recipe
1 ham bone with excess meat
leftover ham slices
(about 3-4 cups total diced ham)
1 red onion diced
2 carrots slice into rounds
2 – 15 ounce cans Ranch Style Beans
1 – 10 ounce can Original Flavor Rotel
1 cup chicken stock or 1 heaping teaspoon condensed chicken base
30 ounces hot water
1 teaspoon Lawry’s garlic salt
2 tablespoons olive or grape seed oil
pepper to taste
Method
Cut most of the meat from the reserved ham bone and remove any excess fat from the meat, discard the fat.
Dice remaining lean pieces and set aside.  If you have leftover ham slices dice those as well, about 3-4 cups in all.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in cast iron skillet on medium high heat, add sliced red onion and cook till translucent, add round cut carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes. 
Heat a large slow cooker on high, add onions and carrots to pot. 
Heat remaining oil in skillet and cooked diced ham for 3-5 minutes, you want to see some caramelization before removing ham from pan, add ham to slow cooker
Pour Ranch Style Beans and Rotel into slow cooker and stir to combine, fill 2 -15 ounce bean cans with hot water and pour into slow cooker, add chicken stock or base, garlic salt and pepper to taste. De-glaze the cast iron skillet with a small amount of water making sure to release the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, add to slow cooker.
Cook on high for 5-8 hours
Serves 4

For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bo For the love of Alphabet noodles here’s a big bowl of Alphabet Chicken  Corn Soup.

I like the noodles better than the broth so I make mine, noodle heavy! If you prefer more broth just add another 8 ounces liquid and more seasoning. 
RECIPE:
1 7-ounce package alphabet noodles
16 ounces chicken stock
1 cup chopped roasted chicken breast
1 chicken bullion cube
1/2 cup cooked frozen corn
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons butter

In a medium stock pot, bring chicken stock to a boil. Add bullion cube and stir until dissolved. Add alphabet noodles and stir. Cook until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Add corn and chicken cubes. Mixture will be thick.

Add butter, salt and pepper. Stir until butter is melted. 

Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
ENJOY 😉

Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Bak Shut the front door!! It worked! Old Fashioned Baked Apples made with canned cinnamon rolls and Orange Soda are DELICIOUS! The soda gives the sauce a beautiful Amber color, the perfect compliment to the tart apples. Just Heavenly! I’ll be making this again!

RECIPE:
3-4 small apples cored and cut in half
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 rolls w icing)
1 cup butter, divided
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounces) canned orange soda

1. Preheat oven 350F.
2. Grease large cast iron skillet
3. Cut apples in half and remove cores with a melon baller. Open cinnamon rolls and gently unwind until flat, on a pice of waxed paper.
Place another pieces of waxed paper over the dough. Using a rolling pin, gently roll dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into equal squares.
4. Fill each apple with a dollop of butter then lay a piece of dough over the cut side and wrap apple in dough. The dough won’t reach around the entire Apple, this is fine. Place wrapped apples in cast iron pan
5. Melt butter and sugar in a small sauce pan. Add the orange soda and mix to combine. Pour warm mixture over apple dumplings.
6. Cover and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until Golden brown
Drizzle cooked apples with icing and serve warm.
ENJOY!!

I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today u I’m playing mad scientist in the kitchen today using up pantry items to make Old Fashioned Apple Dumplings. 
 
The recipe calls for crescent rolls but we ate those at Thanksgiving. Good news, I had a can of cinnamon rolls which I think will do the trick! The Recipe also calls for a can of Mountain Dew (TM) soda. I didn’t have that either so I’m substituting Sunkist Orange soda. That should work!? 

Risky?? Naw!

I’m excited because  they already smell divine! Stay tuned for the reveal.

My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this yea My Meyer Lemons are plump and super juicy this year (trees have been in the ground and producing for three years). Sadly, the skins are imperfect this season.
I’m not sure if the tree is still to close to the ground and fruit is picking up dust or if Texas humidity had something to do with the defect? @chefpjcopithorne What’s your expert opinion? 

Despite their imperfections, they will make the most delicious Habanero Meyer Lemon Jelly and Lemon Curd. @lanzijosee Your care package will be sent out with a few jars of both this week. Their not beautiful but they taste amazing! #happycanning #meyerlemon #gardentotable #jelly #lemoncurd
