    4 Recipes to Use Leftover Holiday Ham

    December 29, 2017

    I have four recipes to use your leftover holiday ham from Christmas.  Do you plan to make a ham for New Year’s dinner?  You are going to have some leftover ham at some point.  Don’t throw it away!  Strategically plan dinners and snacks, with JoAnn’s Food Bites, and you can rid your fridge of that leftover ham. Inspirational Holiday Ham I was perusing through a Facebook Foodie Forum and stumbled upon a home chef’s post, which read, in most part… “I need inspirational recipes to use up all the leftover ham I have from the holiday.” Which inspired me to do some brainstorming and come up with at least FIVE…

    Simple Asian Dinner: Pork and Rice

    June 30, 2017

    This simple Asian dinner is my substitute for Chinese take out. Some Chinese take out is loaded in MSG, which I try to avoid. Although easy, this Pork and Rice dish is filling and a great option for a weeknight meal. It can be done in only one pot and one skillet, for less clean up. What is Monosodium glutamate? MSG is the salt-based compound used as a flavor enhancer in dishes that need a more intense “meaty” taste. Although deemed safe by the Food and Drug Administration, MSG is linked to severe headaches, bloating, and general discomfort. Found in many processed foods, it is harmful to those diagnosed with…

    A Humble Version of Bangers and Mash

    March 16, 2017

    Origination of the humble Bangers and Mash Thought to be an Irish dish, Bangers & Mash originates throughout the British Isles, a group of islands including Great Britain, Ireland, and over six thousand smaller isles. In native British terms, the “bangers” portion of the dish has been linked to the World War I meat shortage.  Sausages were produced with such a high water content, they popped under high heat cooking methods. Modern sausages do not contain such a high water content. Construction of Bangers & Mash Bangers & Mash can be constructed using any type of sausage you like.  Traditional dishes are made of pork or beef, or a Cumberland…

    Upscale Potato Sausage Hash

    October 17, 2016

    I LOVE POTATOES, so much so, you would think I was part Irish.  Around 1845, approximately one million people died in Ireland due to a potato disease knows as “blight.” Some historians believe the pathogen originated in Mexico, where it had already been found, then spread to crops in the United States, making its way to Ireland, via passenger ships sailing from America to Ireland.  Because of Ireland’s deep dependency on the potato, it is estimated half the entire country’s potato crop was destroyed. There are over 50 varieties of potatoes registered with the National Potato Council, however, China leads the world in potato production, almost three times more than…

    Pork Medallion Dinner in Under 30 Minutes

    October 3, 2016

    It does not get any simpler than Pork Medallions with Mustard Sauce, for a weeknight meal.  There are only 200 calories per 3 ozs of pork with 2 Tablespoons of sauce, making this an excellent calorie-counting meal.  I was a bit apprehensive about this sauce, but it was so easy.  Make sure to have all your ingredients measured and ready to go, the sauce will prepare and move very quickly. I purchased one of those packaged, small Hormel tenderloins.  See if you can find the ones without a marinade already on the tenderloin. I couldn’t, so I bought the peppercorn tenderloin and rinsed off most of the peppercorns, then thoroughly…
