Serve ham salad over greens. 222 calories 18 grams fat ( 5 grams sat fat ) 44 mg chol 855 mg sodium 4 grams carbs 1 gram fiber 11 grams protein My Twist: I don't like Dijon mustard so I used regular yellow mustard. Sage is VERY strong so I used only a couple leaves of it then added in fresh basil, lemon time, dill, and flat leaf parsley. I served this over romaine or ice burg lettuce to the guys but I just ate it with out the salad part. Was YUM! Recipe Twist: Cheese & Pepper Ham Salad In a medium bowl combine 1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham, 1/4 cup crumbled white cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup chopped red sweet pepper. Add 1/3 cup bottled low carb ranch salad dressing; stir gently to coat. Cover and chill for 1 to 4 hours. Serve ham salad over greens. Makes 4 servings My twist: I used roasted red sweet peppers instead of raw. Easier on the tummy and WOW the flavor they add. I also change out the cheddar some times with Gruyere or feta or blue cheese and add the green onions in from the above recipe. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ham & Salad Spirals Prep: 20 minutes Chill: 1 hour Makes: 4 servings 1/3 cup mayo 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar 1/4 teaspoon dried dill 1/8 teaspoon salt Dash of Black pepper 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage 1/2 cup chopped broccoli or zucchini 8 thin slices of provolone or Swiss cheese ( about 8 ounces ) 8 thin slices of cooked ham ( about 8 ounces ) 1. In a medium bowl stir together mayo, vinegar, sill, salt and pepper. Add cabbage and broccoli; toss to coat. Cover and chill 1 to 4 hours. 2. Place a cheese slice on top of each ham slice. Spoon about 2 tablespoons cabbage mixture onto center of each cheese slice. Roll up; secure with toothpicks. 432 calories 34 grams of fat ( 13 grams of sat fat ) 84 mg chol 1432 mg sodium 6 grams carbs 2 grams fiber 24 grams protein My twist: Since I am not up to the amount that 1 roll would fill I changed the recipe a bit. I cooked the broccoli and cabbage in a touch of butter and dill still soft. Then put that on a plate and topped it with shredded ham and swiss cheese. ( I just left off the mayo and vinegar). If you can do uncooked cabbage and broccoli then I suggests just shredding the cheese and ham and mixing it into the salad part. -------------------------------------------------- I also have recipes for the following. Let me know if you want them, and I will post them. I haven't tried these yet but plan to. Ham, Sweet Pepper & Zucchini Soup Ham Soup With Mustard Greens Ham Slice with Mustard Sauce Ham & Swiss Skillet Chicken with Mushrooms & Ham Ham & Zucchini Wraps with Creamy Cranberry Spread Roasted Ham with Cabbage

I still think you are full of it when you say you do not cook.....you seem to be an aweosme cook! I really want the ham, sweet pepper & zucchini soup recipe. Today has not been a good pouch day and soup would be great! Did not get around to the onion soup...could not fathom the smell of all the onions today. Maybe tomorrow....so I made him hame potato and cheese gratin. I can just eat the ham...or at least I tried....and he can eat all he wants. If anyone wants that recipe I will pass that one along. It does have potatoes so I did not think to really put it on here. very cheesy and cery rich. Maybe for those who were in the begining of Oct. but I was the end and it is almost too rich for me Thanks again..as always you are awesome! Melissa

I do not cook. But I can read and follow a recipe lol. I don't consider myself someone who cooks because I can not think up on my own, recipes to cook. I don't think I count as a cook since lol really anyone that can follow a recipe can cook. Make sense? LOLOLOL Now if I had to plan a meal and come up with the things to cook, figure out ingredients and then shop for them etc all my own without a recipe I wouldn't do it cuz I don't like to cook. LOLOLOL I had Apple bee's French Onion Soup ( not on the WW menu ICK on the reduced fat cheese) it was yummy!

Stir in basil. 167 calories 9 grams fat ( 3 grams sat fat ) 51 mg chol 1814 mg sodium ( can be reduced using low sodium chicken broth ) 7 grams carbs 2 grams fiber 15 grams protein My Twist : If I go to make this I would try it with roasted red peppers instead of raw. I would also throw in some ginger and parsley and maybe even a touch of white onion. *huggles* Felicia =)

YUM! OK so if you are not a cook then I am not either. I mostly follow recipes and them sweak them and such...jsut like you. So I do consider myself a cook most of the time but what I do NOT consider myself is a chef. To me that screams figure it out on your own. FORGET THAT ONE! There is no way that I do it all on my own. I watch that Top Chef show and it is great but there is NO WAY that I could figure that stuff out on my own without a little help. LOL Don;t cut yourself short. Maybe because you do not like to cook but you definetely seem to have a knack for it. You never give us a recipe that you have not tweaked with your own twist. So you may not but in my book you are a cook!!!!! So there!!! HA HA HA Hugs, Melissa

LMAOO OK we will be cooks and not chefs out about that? HAHAHAHA I get inspired by cook books but go blank when I have to come up with something myself. I probably could figure something out but it wouldn't be as fun as just looking through the cook books to find something to eat lol. So with out the cook books I am not a cook I am a pick up the phone and order take out HAHAHAHAHA Enjoy them!! I am getting the fix'ns for the soup today at the store. Can't wait to try it. *huggles* Felicia

I think I am the opposite (while still NOT a chef...just a cook) - I'm not a big fan of cookbooks or recipes. Granted, I have a huge stack, and I do look at them for inspiration - I never actually have the recipe out in front of me when I am cooking, just a general list in my head as to what the ingredients are. This was a problem this weekend. I was making beef tips w/ wine and mushroom sauce. The problem was...I looked at 2 different recipies. Then, when I went to make my shopping list - I ended up w/ things from both lists. I did grab out the recipe I had decided to use (since it was from a diabetic website - and was very healthy)...I couldnt' figure out where the heck I was supposed to add the cream and dijon mustard (they were ingredients from the 1st recipe!) I, as usual ended up completely improvising....and it still turned out very tasty.

OK o you are more chef than we are then. I LOVE my cookbooks. I got a new one for Christmas and I can not wait to try the recipes. It will take a while ......... it is Rachael Rays 365 no repeats! YAY!! LOVE HER!!! Your recipe wounds great. You will have to share that one with us! Melissa

Oh 365 no repeats! Sounds great! I have her Stoup book somewhere. Put up the beef tip recipe - I didn't even come close to doing it as suggested.

I can't wait to try this. It look YUMO!!!! You really should pull her book out she is fantastic inspiration. She is totally a wing it person. That is how she comes up with all her stuff. Thanks for putting it up. Melissa
