I try to use the least number of dishes as possible when I cook. So I just remove everything from the baking dish and thicken the gravy on the burner right inside. Does that make sense? And don't worry about the question, I appreciate the insight into how other "read" my ideas and whether or not I'm explaining them correctly. Let me know if it worked out or if you have any other questions!! -Roni Amanda -

Let me preface this by saying I am a recipe person--I take recipes and use them exactly as is--always have. I am not the type of person to just change up a recipe and it be good. And I follow a recipe to a "T" when I am using one. That being said... You say "Whisk the cornstarch with remaining ¼ cup of water. When finished, remove the ham, potatoes and carrots from the baking dish. Place it over medium heat, add the cornstarch mixture and continue to stir while bringing it to a boil allowing the sauce to thicken to a glaze. Top the ham with a bit of the glaze and serve with a side of potatoes and carrots." When you say remove the ham, potatoes, and carrots from the baking dish and place it over medium heat...do you mean the baking dish itself?? Or something else? Or am I totally off base here? Sorry for the long question/comment, but I am genuinely curious what you mean here and I can't figure it out. For now, I'm just going to which the cornstarch and water together and pour over the ham at the end of cooking. It may not be what you meant it to, but I'll just go with it--as you say. :) And I also wanted to say THANK YOU for the incredible ideas. I come here every week to get ideas for dinner. We haven't found anything yet that we don't like! Hi Roni,

I am a little confused. Let me preface this by saying I am a recipe person–I take recipes and use them exactly as is–always have. I am not the type of person to just change up a recipe and it be good. And I follow a recipe to a “T” when I am using one. That being said…

Tuesday - I turned some of the ham, the sweet potatoes and carrots in to a pea soup! I just added the leftover items toward the end of cooking. Delicious! I added red skin potatoes to mine, they will be used to go in a ham and veggie omelet my daughter and I will be eating tomorrow morning for breakfast. I LOVE when I can use leftover to make new meals. (Oh yeah, I also saved a little back to freeze for a lunch!) Here is how I used the leftovers!

I just set up a blog account last week. All the information you provide on your web-site help make dieting less of a challenge and more of an adventure. Thank you. I made this recipe tonight for dinner and my husband loved it. I added some redskin potatoes for those in the house that dont' care for sweet potatoes. I the idea of cooking a ham never occurred to me! Ham is something usually reserved for special occassions. The grocery had one on sale today and I was able to cut it in to 4 one and half pound pieces. I froze 3 and cooked 1. Yummy, low fat and economical! A Trifecta! I LOVE your web-site.

You can just double the honey. It will still be good, although the flavor may not be as deep. Thanks for the compliment. I'm so glad you guys like them recipes! Sure! You can just double the honey.

They're a little too nasty for my tastes. The meal looks delicious, Roni. And I agree ~ your husband lost out since he doesn't like the sweet potatoes.
