Leftover ham and hard-boiled eggs make great ham salad sandwiches.

Impossible Ham & Swiss Pie is a good and inexpensive way to use up ham leftovers.

Hmm. Interesting, to me, because this recipe for ham-n-beans uses pinto beans. I've always used white beans - like great northern - but pintos are cheaper and lots more Southern. :)

Another good recipe on the cheap. I might be in the minority, but I LOVE good split pea soup. Use up that ham-bone and buy a bag of dry split peas. They're really very inexpensive, and much easier to cook than dry beans.

Amazing ham and potato soup. Better than my old favorite recipe, and a little bit cheaper!

I *hate* to admit this, but my husband used this recipe to make potato soup and it was WAY better than mine. Cheap too!

I want to try this. 4 minutes in the pressure cooker! And the vegetables could come from the garden, if you have one.

Make ahead and freeze cinnamon rolls! So you don't have to get up at 4AM in order to have a nice breakfast surprise. Perfect for when you're having houseguests, or whenever. Also keps you from eating the whole batch at once!

What a great idea! Cover each potato in aluminum foil and place in a crock-pot. Easy way to have baked potatoes ready when you get home from work! Cook on low for about eight hours. Load them up with your favorite toppings, serve with a big salad and dinner is served!
