I made a ham the other day and with that have lots of dinner options. Today the bone will be cooked for soup and beans will go into that. I would say hubby and I get at least 6 meals out of a ham portion so ends up only costing about $2 per meal. To me using a turkey or ham goes a long way and is economical. Now with people spending more time in their homes, maybe more real cooking could be done.
Ideas for leftovers: sandwiches, salad, hot dishes, soup, omelets, and portions can be frozen for later use. Although ham is not good frozen for long periods.
Happy cooking and eating!
