I'm not a fan of peas, so I omitted them from this recipe. It still turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have some leftover ham after Easter and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a huge fan of ham, so I substituted chicken in this recipe. It turned out really well!

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
