Butternut Squash Soup with Cannellini Beans, Ham and Swiss Chard
I made this Butternut Squash Soup with Cannellini Beans, Ham and Swiss Chard with leftover ingredients I had In my fridge. Here are two ways to make it - on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. You could also purée a few cups of it to make it a creamy soup. Serve it with some good crusty bread and a salad. I love butternut squash, which has more potassium than a banana. Its benefits are too many to mention!

Japanese Potato Salad
Japanese Potato Salad is unique in that it is half mashed and half chunky, which gives it a creamier texture. It has grated carrots, cucumbers, scallions and diced ham. To emulate Kewpie mayonnaise, you add a little bit of sugar. The Yukon Gold potatoes I used where particularly gold in color!

Ham Croquettes (or any other leftover meat and mashed potatoes)
I don't really like leftovers. It's because I do not want to eat the same thing again, so I love to reimagine leftovers in a different way. These Ham Croquettes (or any other leftover meat and mashed potatoes) is a perfect example. By the way, I just ate these and they are to die for! These crispy Ham Croquettes are little logs of seasoned minced ham and mashed potatoes. They would also be good as an appetizer with a cold glass of rosé wine. What's not to love!?

Asparagus, Ham and Gruyère Quiche in a Hash Brown Crust
I have been very into quiche lately. I just love the hash brown crust idea. It makes it gluten-free. I had leftover asparagus and ham and paired it with Gruyère.

Dijon Maple Glazed Spiral Ham
I know this is after Easter, but this ham was phenomenal and the photograph that my daughter Zoe took is even better. The maple glaze caramelizes on the edges of the ham.

Cuban Inspired Ham & Swiss Pizza
I know this is deeply weird, but this Cuban Inspired Ham & Swiss Pizza is absolutely delicious. I'm mean pickles on pizza?! Don't knock it until you've tried it. I love having pizza night and ask your guests to bring their own toppings.

Omelet Potatoes
My Aunt Elba posted this recipe video for Omelet Potatoes. It looked so good that I made them for dinner. It's basically a twice cooked potato with omelet filling. This recipe is very versatile. You could make it vegetarian by using mushrooms instead of the ham. I also used Gruyère instead of mozzarella.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
A cordon bleu is a dish of meat, usually chicken that is wrapped around cheese (or with cheese filling), then breaded and deep-fried. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole is an easier version, that has bite-size pieces of chicken, ham, in a cheesy cream sauce and top with buttery panko breadcrumbs. You can make all in a pressure cooker / Instant Pot or on the stovetop. I have included both methods.
