Your Holiday Leftovers, creative ways of dealing with them.

NOTHING beats momma's cooking. NOTHING!

Mamby Pamby potatoes. Now thats a new one on me!

So I was feeling a little "creative" last night, and spied the last of the spiral cut ham we had for New years on the top shelf of the fridge. Since I was in no mood for yet another ham & cheese samdwich for lunch today, I figured I'd use it up and get rid of anything else that could be considered a 'leftover'
I know this might sound questionable, but it actually came out pretty good, and only took about 5 minutes to make! I took a 10" flour tortilla, laid a piece and a half of deli provalone on one side, and covered that with the thin strips of ham. Next, I grated some cheddar over that, just to cover everything, and rolled it up. I heated up about a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a skillet, threw that sucker on, and got it good and brown on both sides, just before the cheese started to ooze out the sides. Then I took it off the heat, grated some more cheddar on top, and gave it a good dousing of leftover salsa, with a dab of hot sauce for kick. Kind of like a breakfast burrito without the eggs...but the sweetness of the spiral cut and the spice from the salsa gave it a whole different, "happy ending"!

Corned beef hash and eggs the morning after St Padraig's. Cures the most brutal hangovers...well, not really. But at least you'll die happy.

I'd have everything but the sriracha on mine. You can't get me near that stuff.

^^^While perusing some of the older threads I came across the reason you'd decline the ol cream sauce.

If it's any consolation, I always inquire of new guests at our table whether there's something I should know prior to building the menu. I've avoided 2 huge blunders that way.

I wish more people did that: I can't tell you how many times I've had to (politely!) turn down things because someone assumed that everybody can eat this....

oh no, even if I could eat it, I like my corned beef plain.
