Absence makes the heart grow stronger they say, and I believe this is true. Again, I apologize for the long space between posts, what slackers we are. However, in my defense I did give birth to a child one week and one day earlier than she was due. Kelly is traveling, lucky ducky. And I was left in charge of the blog, and look how I have handled it. I even have several recipes to post, but somehow, a nap has just looked better the last several days than writing and editing photographs. So again to save the day for me is Jessie, so without further ado, I give you Cranberry Bean Chowder (with an apology for a lack of finished product picture; but here is a beautiful picture of some cranberry beans).
"As I shopped the dry goods isle at my local grocery store, my eye was caught by the beauty of the cranberry bean. I’d never heard of cranberry beans, nor had I tasted them. I bought them on looks alone. I did not have a particular recipe in mind when I bought them, so I experimented with the recipe on the back of the bag. It was delicious, another example that pork and beans are simply a good combination."

Ham Fried Rice
As promised by guest poster Jessie, here is her recipe for Ham Fried Rice, and I can attest that it is good. After the Easter dinner I was sent home with some spiral cut ham, yum! Jessie had sent me this recipe so I gave it a try; having never made ham fried rice before I can guarantee that even the most novice cook will be able to make this recipe and be delighted with the results. Thanks again to Jessie! -Caroline
We love ham at our house. It is so versatile and so delicious. You can buy ham in all varieties at the butcher or grocery store: whole, half, portion, bone-in, boneless, ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook. Lately, I have taken to purchasing ready-to-cook butt or shank portions (appetizing names, I know). This type of ham tends to be less expensive then more prepared varieties, has more flavor, and allows me to prepare the ham to my desire.
