Family Balance Sheet

My mom and grandmother always host a large family get-together, but everyone brings a dish. Here are two yummy recipes to use with the leftover ham from Easter dinner: Ham and Asparagus Frittata. Are you hosting a large gathering for Easter dinner? Or are you taking a dish and letting someone else do the hosting?

I am getting better at putting leftovers in the freezer if we don’t eat them before they go bad. This Week’s Dinners: Saturday: We had my parents and grandmother over for dinner and I made Pioneer Women’s Chicken Parmigiana, garden salad, steamed broccoli, and my tasty (but cheap) garlic bread.

I have a grandmother who would never dream of buying containers to store leftovers or food for the freezer. I use recycled jars to store baking goods (those blue Ball jars were a yard sale find), leftovers, matches, Q-tips, cotton balls, and office supplies. They can be used for storing anything and not just in the kitchen.
