25 Recipes for Leftover Ham

I know exactly how much effort it takes to put together a big holiday meal. As a matter of fact, I’m typing this post just as things are winding down from our Easter brunch extravaganza. I spent about 3 hours doing my prep yesterday and a couple more this morning before everyone arrived. On the menu –  my Crustless Quiche, Overnight Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Crumb Cake, Smoked Salmon Dip with toasted bagel pieces,  Bacon Horseradish Deviled Eggs, fresh berries, sausage, and BACON (of course). I also made Amy of Bellyfull’s  Make-Ahead Breakfast Enchiladas and they seriously rocked our world!  Try them.

Easter with grown kids is a blast. It’s very different than when they were young and that was a wonderful time too, but it’s really so much fun to get everyone together now. So worth the effort and time that it takes to put together. But I gotta say, I’m SO ready to put my feet up and have a lazy afternoon now before it’s time to get back in the kitchen to bake my ham for our Easter dinner tonight.

I always make a point of picking up a ham much bigger than I need to feed my group because I L O V E those leftovers! There are an endless variety of things you can do with both the leftover ham and that lovely ham bone so I’ve pulled together some ideas from a great group of bloggers (and myself) in case you find yourself with some ham on your hands tomorrow.    

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend!
