Ham and Sweet Potato Pie

I made gravy this way:  http://carolyneveryday.blogspot.com/2014/01/ham-gravy-according-to-dr-chris-keator.html

Mashed up a couple of sweet potatoes with  butter and used this as the bottom layer, over a prepreped
pie crust.

I added peas and small pieces of ham to the gravy and put into the pie shell, and covered with another pie crust

425 degrees 35 minutes.

HAM, corn, bean and barley soup (crockpot)

I had an Appleton Farms ham from Aldi's for Christmas dinner.   I was a bit disappointed in the ham because it had such a huge bone and so much fat on it.

I took most of the ham off the bone and put it in the crockpot and put water over it, and cooked on high for a couple of hours.  Then I took the bone out and took the meat off of it and set it aside.

To the stock or broth (I am not sure what to call it) I added some barley and let that cook on low for a half hour or forty minutes.  Then I added some corn.  I blended up a can of white kidney beans along with a couple of tbsps of ketchup in the blender and added that, and I also added one envelope of SAZON GOYA and a bay leaf.  Let it cook on low for a while and added the ham.

It seemed much too liquidy for me so I took some GRANDS biscuts, cut into fourths and set on top to make dumplings.  Sprinkled dill on top.  Cooked on low for close to an hour and tested the dumplings and they were just fine.

THIS SOUP IS DELICIOUS!!!!!!!

GOLDEN OREO LEMON NO BAKE DESERT

36 Golden Oreos, divided 3 tablespoons butter, very soft 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding 1 cup milk 4 cups whipped topping (one reg. size tub of Cool Whip 1 cup lemon curd (I used Dickensons) INSTRUCTIONS Place 20 cookies in a gallon sized sandwich bag and roll with a olling pin to coarsely crush the cookies. Place cookies and butter in a large bowl. Mix with a spoon until the butter has been worked through. Place in the bottom of a 9x9” pan. Wipe out your bowl and add pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth and let sit until set, about 2 minutes. Fold in a heaping 1 cup (about 1½ cups) of whipped topping. Carefully spread over cookies in pan. Crush remaining cookies in the same way (in a new gallon sized sandwich bag). Sprinkle half over pudding. Reserve the rest for the topping. Mix lemon curd gently with 1 cup of whipped topping. Spread over pudding. Spread remaining whipped topping over the curd mixture. I didn't have any cool whip left so I skipped that step. Sprinkle with remaining cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight before serving.
