Gram's famous recipe for western Pennsylvania ham loaf is the perfect way to use leftover smoked ham after Christmas or Easter. Be sure to serve it with a generous amount of sauce. We use a hand-held meat grinder belonging to my husband's great-grandmother — it is somewhat nostalgic and doesn't take long.

Basic Crêpes
This simple but delicious crêpe recipe can be made in minutes from ingredients that everyone has on hand.
Lemon Garlic Butter Beans
The first thing you'll taste is the lemony, garlicky tang in these creamy, protein-packed lemon garlic butter beans. I grew up in the Midwest, but over the years, Southern classic butter beans have become one of my favorites. Even if you did grow up in the South, trust me, these are not the butter beans your Grandma made for you.
