The holidays always bring the age-old question--what to do with the leftover Christmas ham? I shared my favorite quiche recipe last year. This year, I'm sharing another favorite--a cheesy, cozy pasta sure to warm the tummy. Enjoy! Ham Tetrazzini Ingredients: 3 cups (8 ounces macaroni twirls, uncooked--I used small shells, bowties are also good) 2 cups cubed ham 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 cup heavy or whipping cream 1/3
Dear Readers, I hope you are able to spend time this season focusing on faith, family, and friends! I know that I am grateful for this season of taking a break--work gives us purpose and I am blessed to be a teacher but I also find just sitting and soaking in the fresh air, the birds, and even the beauty of bare trees--such a gift! For 2026, I wish us all a year of more faith, family, and friends--and perhaps a surprise or two, the good kind, of course. Speaking
