Leftover Ham and Shrimp Slow Cooker Gumbo
This ham and shrimp slow cooker gumbo is perfect for using up that leftover holiday ham that just won't quit! This recipe is also great if you want to freeze it and save for later if you're "hammed out." Two of my three young sons loved it, and the third asked for no beans and shrimp, which was easy to filter out of his bowl. My husband devoured it and wished it had more shrimp. Overall, this was a success, considering it was just a week after daily doses of Easter ham. Serve it by itself or over white rice.
Best Chicken Panini
I have a local eatery who makes an amazing flatbread sandwich. This panini is based on their chicken pesto sandwich. I recommend pane turano, or you may use a sturdy sourdough.
