What's for dinner?

[frustratedearthmother]

I have a ham bought recently on sale that I haven't done anything with ... yet. I'm thinking a canner full of ham/bean soup sounds like a plan.

we put six quarts in the freezer and have another ten in the fridge - this was actually a smaller batch for us. half in the fridge will be given away tomorrow.

Holy Cannoli - that's a lot of soup!

A whole lotta soup!! I make a good amount but, only half of that. But cooking for only one person.

Now, I'm feeling like a pot of split pea today. Have ham broth and all needed for a couple bags of them to make up a good amount. Eat and freeze. Yep. A friend is having her rheumatoid arthritis flare up this week -- wrists and shoulders bad. I'll take some to her. Make some biscuits to go with too.

Better get on it.

I haven't made that in ages. It sounds really good right about now! I'm sure your friend will appreciate it.

It did turn out great. Took a couple servings to my friend. Ate a bowl and will freeze most of the rest. Will save out a bowl for lunch today.

Black-eyed peas, cabbage, and corn bread of course! Most likely a sausage link or ham to go with.

Google says:

Black-Eyed Peas, Greens, and Cornbread

Even folks who aren't from the Southern United States go all in on eating black-eyed peas and leafy greens for good luck on New Year's Day. Add a slice of cornbread, and you've got "peas for pennies, greens for dollars, and cornbread for gold."

Sounds good to me!
