| Creamy Ham Casserole |
3 cups cauliflower/broccoli florets, about 1 lb (99c)
4 Tbsp butter/margarine (4c)
1/3 cup flour (5c)
2 cups milk (16c - dry milk reconstituted)
1/2 cup sour cream (25c)
3 cups ham cubes, about 1 lb (99c)
Hot cooked rice, about 1 lb (30c)
Total Cost: $2.78
Cost per serving: 3c
Steam cauliflower(or broccoli) until tender & rinse in cold water. Melt butter in a large saucepan & stir in the flour until smooth. Add milk slowly, stirring constantly. Cook & stir until mixture thickens (it will look quite lumpy and you won't think it will ever smooth and thicken, but it does). Add the cheese & sour cream & continue cooking until cheese is melted, stirring constantly. Add ham & cauliflower. Serve over rice. Yields 10 servings. |

Hey where do you buy your ham? Do you use Turkey Ham or good old fashioned piggy? Whole Ham? Ham steaks? I always thought Ham was kind of pricey, I never figured out the cost per servings or anything, I guess it can't be too expensive or you wouldn't use it right? I just need some ham buying advice. HELP!

I answered this, apparently it disappeared into the blog-o-sphere lol.
I usually buy a whole ham. I buy them when I can get them for 99c/lb or less. When I made this, I got it for 99c/lb. Last week they were 79c/lb. I can usually get 3-4 meals from one whole ham. And at 79-99c/lb, it's way cheaper than most other cuts of meats.

Hey Ma'm,
Sorry to impose, but I am a (nearly) 24 year-old mother of one and married, working on our second year. I still really new in the kitchen, so I googled pantry/fridge/freezer staples and your blog came up. I just wanted to say that I hope you write a book or a column somewhere, or at the very least, continue with this blog (even though it seems you're sort of on a hiatus). You are so organized and aware, and I applaud you. I'm sure I'm not the only girl with the titles "Mother" and "Wife" that have gained much from your posts.
Thanks,

Hey, I'm making this and I just noticed that you didn't say how much cheese to put in. I put a cup. How much do you use?

I usually use a cup or so. Too little and it tastes like white gravy lol.
