I grew up eating this boiled ham dinner on Sundays when I visited my Irish granny. One thing that makes this recipe special is that it calls for a smoked ham or smoked pork shoulder instead of corned beef. A yummy smell will fill your kitchen as this cooks!

- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 potatoes , peeled
- 1 large head cabbage , quartered
- 2 large onions , quartered

Place smoked ham or pork shoulder into a large pot and add enough water to cover. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Add potatoes, cabbage, onions, and carrots to the pot and continue to simmer. Tie green beans into a bundle with kitchen string. Add to the pot, re-cover, and cook until carrots and potatoes are tender, about 25 minutes.

Dark Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes
Give this dark chocolate bacon cupcake recipe a chance, and you'll find yourself on a taste-bud adventure. The recipe was a challenge from friends that turned into a great success. Dark chocolate and bacon — what's not to love?!
Cowboy Queso
This cowboy queso is a cheesy, meaty, stick-to-your-ribs queso. Feel free to use chicken broth or beef broth instead of beer. I grew up with sliced black olives in many dishes so they work for me, but omit them if they're not your thing. I like to serve this in individual cast iron skillets for the full "cowboy" experience but any serving dish will work.
