DEVILED HAM SPREAD - This is rich, tangy, a touch sweet with a bit of heat. In short, delicious. Ready to spread on crackers or crisp breads or to fill a sandwich. This is perfect. I love this and could eat it with a spoon.
HAM & CHEESE CASSEROLE - ham, noodles and green beans in a rich and cheesy sauce. A bit of cracker crumbs and cheese provide a nice crunchy topping. I love a crunchy topping on a casserole, don't you?
CABBAGE & HAM SOUP WITH CHEESY DUMPLINGS - You can't beat a delicious bowl of soup with some cheesy dumplings on top. This is especially tasty. Its one of my favorite soups to make with leftover ham.
PROPER HAM & EGGS - Thick slices of ham, the fat all crisp and golden brown, eggs with crisp ruffled edges and runny middles for dipping. All fried in beautiful butter. You can't go wrong. Breakfast for supper? Why not!
HAM & CHEESE BRAID - Quick, easy to make and using only 4 ingredients. This is a great way to use up leftover ham. Its delicious! I used a can of crescent roll dough, but you can also use pastry, puff pastry or even biscuit or scone dough. Its fabulous any which way!
CHICKEN & HAM PIE - Don't knock it til you try it. This is one very delicious pie with layers of a creamy chicken and creamy ham filling, and three layers of a delicious onion pastry. Its a real favorite!
SLOW COOKER HAM & POTATO CHOWDER - This is a hearty soup with beautiful flavors. You get the creaminess from the cream. Saltiness from the ham. Herbiness from the use of thyme and rosemary, and then lets not forget the garlic and the onion. Both are not only flavorful but very aromatic as well.
HAM HOCK, PEAS & CREAMY NOODLES - In the time that it takes you to cook some pasta, you can have a delicious and filling supper on the table. Your family will love this quick and easy supper!
HAM, LEEK & POTATO GRATIN - A tasty gratin that makes great use of leftover baked ham, boiled ham, or cooked ham hocks.. Its delicious! All you need is a salad or a vegetable on the side and dinner is served!
CHICKEN & HAM LASAGNE - Not your traditional lasagne. Deliciously different and makes good use of leftover cooked chicken and ham, layered with cooked spinach, cheese and a lush sauce. This is fabulously tasty!

I was saying the other day how very much I love to have a good cake in the house. There is something so special about being able to sit down with a nice hot drink and a piece of cake. The world around you can be in chaos but if you have a piece of cake and a drink in front of you, somehow things seem to be a little bit more tolerable.
I am no stranger to cake on here, and over the past thirteen plus years of running this recipe page, I have baked many, many cakes. All of them are delicious because well . . . cake. I tend to only show the recipes that I feel are highly successful and what I think you, my readers, will enjoy.
I do have my favorites however, and these are cakes that I return to bake time and time again. These are the ones that I love above all others. I thought it would be fun today to share my top ten favorite cakes with you and why, so here we go!
RASPBERRY YOGURT CAKE - I love cakes which are made with sour cream and yogurt. Adding sour cream or yogurt add moisture and makes for a lovely tender crumb. This is a beautiful cake, with a lovely moist crumb. Its light in texture and filled with pockets of sweet tart raspberries.
QUEEN ELIZABETH CAKE - We are especially fond of this old, old recipe for Queen Elizabeth Cake. I don't expect there is a Canadian community cookbook without a version of this in it. It goes way back.
