Just gimmie ham, watch your fingers, and back away 10 paces.
Well, that’s kinda how I feel, too.
But other people always bring ham :-(

Edwards Country Ham.
Around here, standing rib roast and steak have replaced turkey for Christmas.
I just made chicken and dumplings for dinner and it don’t get no better than this!
I usually bake some homemade bread and bring it warm from the oven. But my office is only five minutes from home.
I took little smokies...though made with honey b-b-q sauce, grape jelly, throw in some garlic and tiny bits of orange rind. They’re gon in a heart beat too!
That’s going on my list! I was actually looking at some things similar.
Thank You!

Open 1# can of chunk chicken and drain all liquid into saucepan. Take ½ cup water and add ½ tablespoon of corn starch or flour. Mix with fork until lumps vanish. Add to liquid in saucepan and bring to simmer, stirring constantly! It will thicken slightly, like gravy. Add chicken and chop/shred up with spatula while stirring, or use a potato masher! When good and hot, remove from heat, salt to taste and put on buns or, for less mess--hot dog buns! The leftovers can be used for chicken and rice/noodles or whatever.
PS, if you get near Ohio, try Root's shredded chicken sandwich mix. Good stuff!
Made it in the crock, IN THE oven. Then put the crock in the warming element and warmed up later. Came out good.

Actually I’ve even bought a bag of oranges...slice them and put on a big silver palatter....arrange marensheno cherries on top... and then add a christmas pintesseta type flowers along the edges to adorn the tray.
Kids will eat them so fast you’ll be surprised....when they’re just oranges!!!
Appalling! By Christmas, I’ve had my fill of turkey; but I love HAM!

If you want really easy and really good try this. Buy pre-made meatballs. Mix equal parts grape jelly and chili sauce put in crock pot and cook. Sounds awful tastes and smells great! I prefer a little more chili sauce than jelly but that’s me. Make it the night before put it in the fridge heat at the party. You’ll be the hit of the party and no-one needs to know how simple it was.
....’crusty’ things - chicken pot pie’....
I need a good receipe for that..tried and true...I STILL haven’t found one that hit home!
That’s a good idea. Costco has pre-made meatballs (or they used to anyway) and they were good - IIRC they were in the freezer section.
I bring Haggis — and the best thing is: there’s always leftovers to take home!!
I’ll post my Granny’s recipe for chicken pot pie, if I have time tonight - as soon as I take care of the critters and do my other night chores. Otherwise, I’ll post it tomorrow (There’s a story behind the recipe :-)
Watch This Space!
