I used bone broth that I had made out of my leftover ham, plus my leftover ham.

We love bean soups and this is a wonderfully easy basic recipe. Generally, I make these recipes pretty much as written. However, this time, I used kielbasa instead of ham. And since I hate green peppers and celery, I added a bit of minced garlic and finely chopped a small carrot. We loved it! A keeper.

Herb Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce
Instead of cooking ham or prime rib for Easter, why not try something new this year? Our Herb-Crusted Lamb with Mint Sauce may look and sound fancy, but it's really easy to do. It's basically a rack of lamb that's coated with herbs and spices before it's roasted to perfection. Just before serving, it's finished off with a mint-wine reduction. The end result is an Easter-worthy main dish that'll impress everyone at the table.
