Was given some ham bits and pieces today from carving a ham. We got the rind parts from the outside, and the bone. I don't do bean soup so not sure what I'll do with the bone - maybe just use it in some other kind of soup? Open for ideas.
So for lunch I just had bits of ham from the bag of pieces, dipped in dijon mustard.
Supper was chicken thighs. I had asked hubby to get some chicken thighs at the store, he bought boneless skinless - UGH! I was so disappointed, the crispy skin is the best part! Anyway, I slightly warmed (until soft) about 6 oz of full-fat cream cheese and mixed it with some horseradish mustard. After laying the 6 thighs in a baking dish I spread the cream cheese mixture across the top, then covered them with a couple of big pieces the ham rind (just for the flavor, not to eat). While that was roasting in the oven, I also roasted some broccoli; when it was starting to brown and time to turn it, I topped it with shredded cheeses - colbyjack and shredded cheddar - for the last 10 minutes or so.
I don't think I snacked on anything today - oh wait, I did have a dark chocolate square after supper - is that a snack, or dessert? Really when I eat plenty of fat and adequate protein, I don't have much of an appetite.

I finally switched to Internet Explorer so hopefully I can reply to your post. :-)
ReplyDeleteHam pieces would be good in a cauliflower soup. I've seen recipes where they use heavy cream. I wish I could use dairy products.
Thank you for posting. And you're right.. when I eat adequate amounts of protein and fat then I don't havce an appetite either. :-)
YAY, it's great that you can post here now :).
DeleteThat's a good idea, cauliflower soup, that does sound good!
Are you able to use almond or coconut milks?
