HOLIDAY LEFTOVERS SOLUTIONS! PART 1

-







My family ate good food on Thanksgiving Day. They had full stomachs and went home happy.
Everyone took take out plates of food home too.  Figuring out what to do with the rest of the 
leftover food was clearly considered my problem. I decided to prepare the same meals
 I usually prepare from Thanksgiving leftovers. I have no time for  stress. I'm not going 
to try to come up with  new recipes.

Here are some of the dishes I prepared from leftovers:



HAM

I  used some of the  leftover game for breakfast. I sliced the large pieces of ham in half.
I added 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. I browned the ham on both sides. I placed
the cooked ham on a plate and served it with hot grits.









The rest of the ham was used for ham salad. I served it with  buttery crackers.









HAM SALAD:

2 cups cooked ham chopped
1\2 small onion, chopped
1\2 half celery stalk, chopped
1\4 cup pickle relish
1\2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar
Salt & pepper to taste


Add  all of the listed ingredients in a bowl. Mix well.  Chill in fridge if not
serving the ham salad immediately. Serve with your  favorite crackers.

Tips:


*  Can chop ham in food processor.

*  Adjust ham salad to your family's taste, if desired.

* Can use  1\2 teaspoon dried celery flakes or 1\4 teaspoon celery seed,
if celery stalk not available.

*  Can garnish with paprika

*  Can serve on bed of lettuce

*  Can substitute with ham salad  sandwiches 

*  Can add cooked, chopped hard boiled eggs

*  Can add dash cayenne pepper for spicy flavor

HOW I AM AGING GRACEFULLY, WELLNESS

  I didn't want to acknowledge that I was  getting older.I got offended when store clerks said, Yes ma'am".  I realized that age 40 was old to most young people. I couldn't deny aging any longer when I  fell one morning sprinting out of bed.My friends and I had a good laugh because  all of them had fallen out of bed too.We shared our techniques for arising safely out of bed each morning.  We check to see which joints are working.I admitted that I  hold onto the wall until my joints loosen up. Most days my joints tell me  when a storm is coming.  I have had a few allergic reactions  pop up to foods  I have been eating since childhood.This is very annoying.I would be devastated if I ever developed any allergy to coffee or chocolate. I have to make my coffee  weaker now and I can live with that!! I can eat too much dark chocolate since it gives me indigestion.   Hey,  I know what to do. I'm resourceful, I only eat a little at a tim

SPANISH LLADRO ANGEL FIGURINES SENIOR MOMENT COLLECTIBLES (SMC) I began collecting angels after  I saw an article in the guide post  magazine. The lady had a picture of her angel collection on the first page. I thought this was a great  hobby. Now I have three curio cabinets full of angels. My husband realized I was  a serious about my angel collection. He began buying me beautiful angels for my Christmas present.  He even  bought me the curio cabinets to put them in.  I even had friends who collected  frogs, elephants, penguins, and sock monkeys. We helped each  other hunt for collectibles.Some of them bought me angels when  they traveled overseas. I have   beautiful angels from Africa and Hawaii because of my traveling friends.

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:
