Ham, Potato and Broccoli Casserole
This is a great, easy to make, and nutritious casserole. You can add some macaroni pasta or try seasoning the potatoes before you bake. Put this dish in the freezer and bake whenever you're too lazy to cook! Can also be made with leftover cooked chicken.
Stroopwaffels II
Dutch cookie with caramel syrup between two thin cookies. Absolutely delicious! I lived in Holland for a year and fell in love with these cookies. I was so happy to finally find a recipe! These are made using a pizzelle iron.
Mini Ham and Swiss Frittatas
These little frittatas are so quick and easy, and my husband and kids just gobble them up. Make them in a 24 cup mini-muffin tin. I first had these at a neighborhood breakfast, and my neighbor added fresh onions and veggies, but this is great for making on nights when there isn't much in the fridge! Honey ham is good in these, as well. They can be served hot or cold and are great as reheated leftovers.
