Rust: my fascination or addiction? I just love it!

I will stop in my tracks if I see anything rusty.

Squat down and get my nose and camera all up in it just to get a good shot.

The metallic smell is familiar and let’s me know it is good and rusty!

I admit my problem and I really want no help with a solution so you will just have to bare with my rusty pictures!

Ham Salad

So yesterday, I made my Grandmama’s Ham Casserole.  I always buy a bigger ham so I can make some Ham Salad the next day.

Egg Salad, Crab Salad, Chicken Salad, Ham Salad…I love them all!

It doesn’t get any more simple than these ingredients.

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 cups chopped ham 
• 2 hard boiled eggs
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1  Tablespoons yellow mustard
• 1/2  Tablespoon spicy mustard
• pepper to taste

Whip out your food processor and finely chop the ham.  Boil your eggs and allow them to cool.

Mix all your ingredients together and bam, pow, boom.. awesome ham salad.

I can eat mine on anything but this day I had a plate of dinner rolls handy and ate more than my share.

Enjoy!  T

Ham Casserole

Another classic from my Grandmama.

This is a recipe that she makes anytime we come for a visit and there is not a scrap of food left at the end of the meal.

SUPER SIMPLE INGREDIENTS:

• 4 cups cooked ham (I buy a large cooked ham because the ham salad the next day is wonderful!)
• 1 stick butter
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 cups white rice (Cook according to directions)
• 2 cans cream of asparagus soup
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, diced
• 1 cup half & half (or milk)
• pepper to taste

Dice up ham and then slice, dice and chop up your onion and garlic.

Melt butter in a skillet and add onion and garlic.  Cook until onion is wilted looking.

In a large bowl, mix together all your ingredients.

Spread this out in a large 9×13 baking dish.  Place it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40-50 minutes.

This is another recipe that my 4 children dig into and ask for seconds every time.
