    I just started the crock pot for tonight's dinner. I soaked dried navy beans, rinsed them and put them in the crock pot with water. Added garlic, onions and leftover Easter ham that I cut into tiny pieces - not too much, just enough for flavoring and a little ham in each bowl. Yum! I will probably make cornbread for my family, but may not eat any depending on how my calories look by dinner time. I will also slice a few kiwis, which I think goes great with homemade bean soup. Enjoy your leftovers! I am hoping my kids finish the cake, cinnamon rolls and mashed potatoes soon. I'm not sure how long I can avoid those, but so far, so good.

    I didn't think I should eat the leftovers. I suppose I can put a small amount of ham in my breakfast egg sandwich. I have my moms deadly potato salad made w/ mayo. It's so good :( My roasted veggies & broccoli should be fine. Perhaps I can make a soup out of them. Thankfully the bread rolls are gone & dessert is gone so no temptation there. The double glazed brown sugar ham however is still plentiful & calling my name. Oh the sodium & sugar made it so tasty. I didn't have more than a slice though.
