Don't stress over last minute meals...make foods ahead so you can throw together quick, satisfying suppers. Another time-saver is bone-in ham. At my house the day it's cooked - made lovely and sweet with mustard and molasses - we eat it with garlic mashed potatoes and root vegetables. After the meal, we remove the bone, which has a generous amount of meat left on it; this gets turned inot hearty pea soup. The leftover ham can be eaten with scalloped potatoes or fluffy French toast, or used in a quiche. ham is also good to have for sandwiches, cold or Western. It lasts up to a week in the refrigerator or up to six months in the freezer.
