smoking a ham recipe
would these ingredients in my alfredo sauce taste good?
I plan to prepare fettucine alfredo tonight, using spinach fettucine.
I have freshly grated parmesan, butter and heavy cream – your basics for an alfredo sauce. However i want to put a twist on the recipe by including:
- caramelised onions
- sauteed mushrooms
- diced smoked ham
into the basic sauce. Do you think this would taste good? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!!
I think it sounds good, but the combination of parmesan and smoked ham might make the finished product too salty. Ultimately it comes down to your personal preferences about what you like to eat. For me, I would probably choose one add-on, to avoid detracting from the over-all flavor of the dish. Caramelized onions and smoked ham are delicious, complex flavors by themselves; combining several strong ingredients with a somewhat delicate sauce can sometimes be overwhelming. Also, I would add some fresh chopped flat leaf parsley at the end of cooking to brighten things up. Bon Apetit!!

How To Create Healthy Powerhouse Sandwich Recipes
Making healthy sandwiches allows you the opportunity to utilize your creative talents in the kitchen once again. Sandwiches can be created as an entire meal, providing all the nutrients necessary for your healthy living.
To create a healthy powerhouse sandwich, use your imagination, by including herbs such as fresh basil leaves, cilantro or fresh parsley. Fresh watercress gives a sandwich a great nippy taste; in addition it gives an appealing look and has virtually no calories. Did you know that watercress is a good source of beta carotene, calcium, iron and potassium?
Fresh chives, which contain sulphur oil (which may lower blood pressure if one consistently eats a large amount), fresh romaine lettuce, is low in calories and high in fiber. Try to choose the dark green leafy lettuce; spinach which is full of vitamin A and folate, and high in Vitamin C and potassium, is an excellent choice for sandwiches as it is also a vegetarian source of protein.
When creating your sandwiches, try using sliced whole rings of green, red, or yellow peppers, as they are not only colourful, but an excellent low calorie source of Vitamin C.
Try using sandwich style sliced dill pickles (patted dry)or cucumbers sliced. Crisp fresh snow peas, are low in calories and high in Vitamins A and C. Snow peas, besides containing protein, help to create a nutritionally complete meal when combined with whole grain products.
Sliced beef steak tomatoes make a great addition to any sandwich. Try using asparagus or green capers on top of your filler. We have only the a few “green” and some red vegetable and herb ideas to season your sandwiches.
Fillings for healthy sandwiches are where we need to use care in calorie use. Always use a light Miracle Whip, light cream cheese or Dijon mustard. Light Miracle Whip and cream cheese taste just as good as the regular products and are one half or less than the calories and fat.
The most favorite fillings for sandwiches are hard boiled eggs, tuna, shrimp, roast beef, thinly sliced ham, smoked salmon in thin slices with cream cheese and capers, various light cheeses, such as Edam, Light Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago, avocado sliced or in a spread, artichoke tapenade, Black Forest Ham, chicken salad spread, chicken breast slices,
Avocados, which incidentally, are fruits, are high in the “good” fats, meaning mono-saturated, but always remember they are high in calories and fats. These are only a few ideas, but, add the greens previously mentioned and you will have a deluxe healthy sandwich when a good protein is added to your greens.
The last item I will write about is bread, one of the most important items. The healthy breads to look for are logically the ones that contain whole grains, oat, flax, spelt bread, rye bread. These breads contain the “good” carbohydrates that constitute a healthy food choice.
White flour breads have no nutritional value for our bodies. Please try to introduce these good choice breads to your children at any early age, so they will become accustomed to eating healthy bread for healthy living.
Creating healthy appealing powerhouse sandwiches is a learned craft; you will be using all the necessary nutrients of a healthy meal for healthy living. There are a multitude of other types of healthy sandwiches, party sandwiches, rolled sandwiches, pinwheel roll-up sandwiches and even wraps to enjoy creating for you and your family.
You will be surprised at just how creativity bursts out in you when you start making these healthy recipes. These breads taste marvelous, but, it is sometimes a chore to talk children into them. Start children with a good 100% whole wheat bread that is fresh. I am certain that once you add the choice of good healthy items for the sandwich covered with the good bread, your child will love it. Later on, you can slowly introduce other varieties to him/her.
Fortunately, we now have available to us bagels, crusties, and many breads with 100% whole wheat plus many other nutrients in the breads for healthy living.
If you are making sandwiches with sauces, it is easy to eliminate butter or margarine. Replace it with mustard, low-calorie Mayonnaise, light cream cheese. It will eliminate 100 calories to your sandwich.
We have given you a start on your creative power sandwich making. Use your imagination and run with it.
Learn all about the healthy vegetables and how to use them for power sandwich making for healthy living.

Need a easy ham recipe for thankgiving?
I bought a half of a Farmlarm hickory smoked lean ham.What is a good glaze I can put on this that is easy?
My mom used to do it with brown sugar but I forgot what else she used.
Please help
I know of a couple of different ones,,,,,since the ham is hickory smoked you’ll want to stay away from certain flavors….
Maple Brown Sugar Glaze
1/2 cup maple syrup (best if its pure maple, but log cabin works well too)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup apple juice (not apple drink)
1/2 tbsp dijon or regular mustard
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup crushed cherries (maraschino)
you can omit the maple and still have a great glaze. you can even substitute honey for the maple….either way, the apple juice, or cider if you have it (its even better with cider) lend a fruity taste that goes great with hickory
Ginger Glaze
1 teaspoon dry ginger
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
canned pear or peach syrup to make a thick paste
1 teaspoon lemon juice
ginger works well with hickory….this glaze gives it a little spiciness too
for either glaze, all yo have to do is mix the ingredients together well, making sure that the brown sugar melts completely. You can heat the liquid a bit to help with the melting. Brush on thickly before putting your ham into the oven, and make sure to baste with the glaze throughout the cooking cycle.
So, when is dinner being served? LOL…..have a wonderful holiday

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
