For my selection this month, I made some corn muffins stuffed with a bit of leftover baked ham which was finely chopped.
Plus some cheese in the mix and again on top for the cheese overload.
I served these with some beans I made with my leftover ham bone as well. I could crumble these into the bowl, but they are also nice just spread with butter. Or if you like a little sweet a drizzle of honey.
People are so touchy about the cornbread or corn muffins, it might be best to let them honey those up themselves.
