I made this the Monday after Easter the ham Alfredo casserole. It was really good. I changed the vegetables to just peas since I donโt like green pepper and it turned out really good.
Can I gently suggest that if you're going to ever try "Offal", tongue and heart are the easiest ones to start with! I used to make our houseful of seven teenagers chili with tongue, and it worked really well.
I distinctly remember having Corning ware that went from stove to oven and had detectable handles, I have a 50+ year old piece that is a fry pan with lid/casserole that I still use. I' lost the handle in a military move decades ago but the pan works for quich, deep dish pizza and so much more.
I love celery ๐but I still don't always like it raw. I like the taste and juiciness but I find the peel almost too woody and chewy. Only the top parts have softer peel
I don't have left overs ๐ I went to someone else for Easter lunch ๐๐and I brought home left over chocolate cake! Love the idea of the toast cups. I don't use my muffin tin a lot
Very nice recipes – I look forward to trying them. I love Good Housekeeping cookbooks. Thank you for a great video.
Donโt dismiss the tongue in the variety meats. If you enjoy ham chances are you would enjoy tongue. It is honestly the best tasting โhammyโ thing Iโve ever tried. It was beef tongue but it was very very surprisingly tasty. โฎ๏ธ
I know that you donโt care for celery, have you tried substituting the stalks of baby bok choi? It has a similar texture and will cook very similarly but not the celery flavor.
Green olives would be so good in that!
I am so excited that you are getting sponsorships! You are on your way!
Tightwad Gazette!! There you go surprising me again. I loved that book back in the late 80's and 90's as I was raising my large family. I learned so many tips and unexpected ideas from it. I wonder how it would translate to a channel like yours or TikTok.
Also, I really liked seeing "an hour before serving" with these recipes as that is an on-going struggle – when do I start cooking dinner to have dinner at a specific time. One of those aspects of cooking you can learn over time but knowing that ahead of time is a game changer. Happy Easter!

Oh gosh, I remember when I was little, it was the funny family story that Iโd told my mom I didnโt like leftovers, I preferred new-overs! My mom was so good at making things out of leftovers or making things from whatever was in the pantry. I have fond memories of her inventive meals growing up.

I found a G/Housekeeping book that we had when I was a kid, pretty much worked my way through the cakes and biscuits section before I was 12. It was published in the 60's and much of it reflects that…. Great to have it again, thank you Ebay
Well, I can unfortunately verify that these are very realistic โ70โs recipes. Green peppers in everything. ๐คฆ๐ผโโ๏ธ We had lots of veg available, why why why was green peppers โthe thing?โ I complained enough that Mom started substituting peas. ๐
You mean there are people who follow a recipe EXACTLY and donโt vary even a pinch??? Oye Vey ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
I love your recipes. I'm having a tough time copying them off of the comment section however. Is there any way you could add them to your website as well? I know that is extra work and understand if it is aaking too much.
I also LOVE using the frozen garlic. It's so much better than the jarred stuff, it's fresh, and less trouble than cleaning a garlic press.
"I don't care": YES!!!
Iโm definitely going to make the Parisian soup with the leftover veggies from tomorrowโs veggie tray!
pea soup with ham?
I love enhamsing things.
I love ham. My local grocery store sells packages of "ends and pieces" for stupid cheap. Forget the ends nonsense…no such thing in the packages, just lovely thick slices that I cut into small cubes or I cut them into thin slices for breakfast. Fabulous! I buy it regularly. Thanks for posting these recipes. I'm going to try them!
those seventies cookbooks have the best photos! Along with the vintage dishes, they are awesome! great video!
Although I don't eat ham now, I did in the 'seventies. I may be able to substitute plant-based protein and get a good result.
Your leftover vegetable soup story reminded me of an old Ina Garten episode where she said she put leftover undressed salad through the food processor and added it to soup. Iโve never done it but it makes sense as a way to use veggies or salad that arenโt going to get eaten.
Iโve been watching you for a while and I was convinced I was subscribed but it turns out I wasnโt. I love just putting your videos on my tv whilst Iโm chilling/pottering on with housework. So wholesome and Iโve actually tried a few recipes too. Looking forward to seeing even more of your content going forwards ๐
hahaha WHO are these people who get mad when you switch up a recipe?!! My LORD! Keep being you Ana! โคโคโค
I love your channel ! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐
I feel like โenhance it with hamโ could be a cookbook title in itself ๐
Thank you for the recipe for the parisienne soup. I really enjoyed the recipes you did today. They were right down my alley. I usually intentionally try to buy meats on sale around or after the holidays. This ham casserole was new to me with the cream cheese. I'll be trying that and including broccoli. Was very interested in your comments about the cheesy and tangy flavor with the gravy. Really good video for me today.
I bet some more cheese would make that casserole over the top. Cheese, butter, and breadcrumbs on the top. Yum ๐
When you were speaking of doctoring up foodsโฆ.it reminded me of how food was stretched also. Adding things to make more food to feed more people. My Gma would stretch food from living through the depression.
I really want to try the toast cup for one, as a light lunch or snack.
That was a daylightful visit back to 1971. Ham and cheese supper bread and corn chowder. Those are my two favorite uses of leftover ham.
How you feel about celery, I feel about green peppers, and your channel has taught me why green peppers plagued my '70s childhood. They're in everything!
I'm disappointed now that I won't have any leftover ham because i bought a ham steak instead. All your dishes look really tasty. I never thought about using cream cheese in Alfredo–yummy & thrifty!
My favorite way to use leftover ham (besides soup!) is pineapple and ham fried rice. SOO good!
