"Every New Years Day for about 5 years I sent this out the the Maintenance men at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, along with a big pan of cornbread, and the slow cooker always came home empty! It's good luck for New Years."

Ingredients: collard greens, ham, onions...

"Wonderfully easy dish that tasted great. I'm not a ham fan but my family is. The ham actually gave the dish a great flavor along with the addition of beef broth in the last few minutes of cooking."

Ingredients: canned beef broth, olive oil...

"I have a horror of dry chicken breasts, even though I know white meat is healthier for one. So I was happy to find a flavorful, moist casserole that is also easy to make ahead and freeze. I use skim milk and light ham to help reduce calories, but you can use whatever is on hand.

From "Once-a-Month Cooking" by Mimi Wilson and Mary..."

Ingredients: cracker crumbs, boneless chicken breast halves...

"I found this recipe in Woman's Day like 10 years ago. This is a great way to get spinach into your diet without the taste. My family hates spinach and you can't even taste it in this great recipe! Plus it is a great way to use your leftover ham from holiday parties!"

Ingredients: eggs, fresh chives...

"A down-home delicious stew that my family loves."

Ingredients: pepper, white hominy...

"Pennsylvania Slovak (Carpatho-Rusyn) recipe. Tasty and filling. Serve with rye bread. This soup tastes even better the next day."

Ingredients: pepper, condensed tomato soup...

"This is a delicious main dish salad. We use the fat-free ham and yogurt since we are watching our weight but I'm sure you could use regular ham & yogurt with the same taste. The fruit makes the salad really juicy so you don't really need the dressing unless you are trying to get that extra calcium into your diet."

Ingredients: cooked ham, fresh pineapple...

"This is as Southern as it gets. But the recipe is made quicker by using canned products and prepackaged greens. For New Years, substitute black-eyed peas, and you'll have your green and peas tradition! Serve with nice thick slices of cornbread."

Ingredients: collard greens, ham steaks...

"I love finding different ways to make cabbage. This would be a good way to use up leftover ham. Recipe is from Family Circle."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, ham steaks...

"This is a great way to serve spinach and to use left-over Christmas ham. I learned the recipe while in the Netherlands, from a French chef. I usually double the recipe because it freezes very well. I have gotten many requests for this recipe. I usually serve it with garlic bread on the side. ENJOY!!"

Ingredients: cream cheese, cream of mushroom soup...

"Posting this for ZWT 2006 (French Cajun & Creole region). This is a very homey comforting sort of a soup. The spices are easily played with if you like it spicier and it is even better with a good dollop of hot sauce in it."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, cooked ham...

"This is a salad-ified version of a chicken pasta dish I had once at Cheesecake Factory. It is both hearty and light, and rich with complex flavors. The basil adds a pesto-like element to the ensemble, and the dijon in the dressing (modified from Mille® ™'s Dijon Paremsan Dressing, Dijon Parmesan Salad Dressing) brings out the peppery taste of the arugula...."

Ingredients: pepper, Dijon mustard...

"This is basically a meatloaf made with ground pork and ham, served on a bed of baby spinach, with an egg on top. The loaf itself can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in a skillet or in the microwave oven. Because there is ham in this, the loaf will look a little "pink," but you will know it's done if your instant read thermometer..."

Ingredients: cider vinegar, cooked ham...

"I got this from a German friend of mine about 10 years ago. It's different from the others posted as it uses dumplings instead of noodles and adds some smoked ham for a more protein rich meal. Very tasty! (time does not include chill time for dumpling dough)"

Ingredients: eggs, Hungarian paprika, milk...
