I have a lot of leftover ham from Easter. I bought a 10.5lb ham, which 4 of us ate for dinner. I have since made split pea soup, eaten ham all week, and now have made this ham and navy bean stew. I still have about 2 lbs of ham left! You can sub sausuage in for the ham if that's easier, which it might be if you don't have a crap ton of ham left in your fridge! This would pair well with my protein cornbread Ingredients: 1 lb ham - can sub sausage 2 cans navy beans - or whatever kind of beans you have 1 lb carrots, diced or just dump in a bag of baby carrots 2 parsnips - diced 1 onion - diced 2 cups chicken broth if using pressure or slow cooker, 4 cups if using stove top Spices: 2 bay leaves, 1 tbsp garlic, 1 tsp parsley, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp thyme, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp black pepper Pressure Cooker Directions: 1. Dump all ingredients in pressure cooker 2. Cook on high for 15 minutes Slow Cooker Directions 1. Dump all ingredients in slow cooker 2. Cook on low for 8 hours Stove Top Directions 1. Dump all ingredients in big pot 2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally Nutrition Information (makes 6 servings):

Low fat chipotle? Sign me up! This chicken is lean but tastes higher fat. I'm not sure what the magic is but everyone who's tried this agrees. I used this in my Butternut Squash Breakfast Burrito Bowl but you can also use the meat in tacos, burritos, taco salad, burrito bowls, .... you get the idea. Warning! This recipe is pretty spicy. If you want to reduce the spice level, reduce the cayenne pepper and red chili flakes. Ingredients:
Directions: 1. In a food processor, combine all ingredients (except for meat) until pureed. 2. Combine meat and spice mixture and cook on stovetop until meat is cooked (I mix in the pan to minimize dishes) Nutrition Information (makes 4 servings):
