Ham Leftovers Get Creative with Cajun and Cuban Inspired Dishes

April 8, 2020 By Kim Galeaz

  Time for a twist with all that leftover ham in your fridge. Try Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Ham and Andouille Sausage or Cuban Empanadas. Or both. Why do I love ham as a registered dietitian nutritionist? Because it's lean and low fat as well as versatile. Ham has only 3 grams fat in every 3 ounce portion. That's lean. Plus, it packs around 20 grams protein in every 3 oz. serving. Get a dose of immune-supporting nutrients with Cajun Red Beans and Rice with Ham & Andouille ...

Fiesta Taco Beef Filling

March 24, 2020 By Kim Galeaz

My super easy skillet dish makes Taco Tuesday a snap, or any night you're craving tacos, burritos or nachos. And surprise! You'll be getting a hefty dose of vegetables along with this protein-rich filling since it contains canned corn, black beans and diced tomatoes. Add extra cumin, chili powder, hot pepper sauce and crushed red pepper if you prefer dishes hot and spicy. Or use less if you prefer milder seasonings. I love making it with 90% lean ground beef. You'll never miss the fat in this ...

Dive into a bowl of Pizza Hummus if you're trying to eat more vegetables. And who isn't? From moms and dads trying to get their kids - and themselves - to eat more nutrient-rich vegetables, it's time for a family-friendly solution.

March 6, 2018 By Kim Galeaz

Celebrate with Chili and Margaritas

February 22, 2018 By Kim Galeaz

            National Chili Day happens to be the same day as National Margarita Day. Both of these celebrations fall during Canned Foods Month. So I'm celebrating all of them with a batch of my easy stove-top chili, but not my traditional Big Beef Chili. Today I'd like some warmth and tropical flair, so I'm doing my Caribbean-Spiced Chili with Beef and Pork. Or maybe my Black and White Chicken Chili. Both contain a variety of nutrient-rich canned foods, from canned broth ...
