Ham bone and all the meals created with it.

Last week Joanie walked in with two ham bones from Honey Baked Ham and first thing that came to mind was, where am I going to put these, our freezer is full.  We decided to freeze one of them and yes, I did find some room.  We were able to get quite a bit of good quality ham without the fat off this ham bone.
This is what was made with the other ham bone and it only cost $4.

• Ham mixed in with our eggs and veggies omelet that morning.
• 1 gallon of split pea soup
• Au Gratin potatoes serving 4
• Frittata serving 6

This is a great Saturday or Sunday project to do with your loved one or family.  Each person could take one part of the meal, like cutting up the veggies or cutting them up for all of the meals we made in the above list.  We cut up our veggies, save some to have while they are fresh and then freeze the rest.  Making meals are much faster and easier, just pull the veggies out and into the pan.  

We do this with quite a few things, we cut up chicken or cook some ground beef or turkey and split them into the correct portions and freeze them.  Now when its time to make something quick and easy, we pull what we need out of the refrigerator or freezer and our meals are usually done in less than 30 minutes.  Eating healthier doesn't have to be time consuming, take out a half hour and keep on task, you will be amazed at how much you can get done.
