Veggie Ham Chowder
"I have a lot of cooking for kids cookbooks. This is from my favorite of those, Beyond Macaroni and Cheese. I highly recommend this cookbook. The recipes please the entire family. Anyway, this chowder is a great way to use up a ham roast. I have tweeked the original recipe a bit. It does have a long cooking time, but is well worth it."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
We are recent transplants from Iowa to NC. I have 4 and 1 1/2 year old boys. I am a stay-at-home Mom. My husband is originally from Australia so I make a lot of Australian dishes. I love to read in my spare time and do cross stitch. I am also trying to teach myself how to play the electronic keyboard. I also do espionage work for the government in my spare time. Just kidding, but my bio sounded so boring I had to add something exciting. My days are rather full of food fights and scraped knees. I love to put a home-cooked meal on the table every night for my family, even if I do hear I'm not going to eat that!
November 2008..As the old saying goes, time flies. I thought it time to update the info here. We have now been in NC for 3 1/2 years and have added another boy to our crew. Yes, that makes 3 crazy boys! Their ages are 7,4, and 18 months. I can entice the oldest to try most anything. Our 4-year-old would live on PBJ, and mac & cheese if I let him. The youngest will eat any veggie put in front of him, so far! I'm sure his brothers will set him straight. Oh, I forgto to mention that we homeschool, so easy to recipes that don't take long to put together are high on my list now.
