Ham and Vegetables

This meal was simple to make and tasted delicious. I cooked ham steaks, stewed squash, black eyed peas with okra, sweet potato patties and cheesy cornbread. I will start with the vegetables.

Black Eyed Peas and Okra

I bought a bag of frozen peas and okra. You will need a pot. Add water into the pot and put your peas and okra. I added olive oil to the water to keep the peas from sticking to the pot. I seasoned the vegetables with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and some lawrys seasoning. Add as much as you like for taste. Cook until the peas and okra are soft.

Stewed Squash

I used frozen squash for this as well. You can use fresh or canned. I prefer fresh or frozen. Add water, olive oil or butter to your pan. You can add both olive oil and water. Next add your squash. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and probably lawrys seasoning. You can add chopped up onion and bacon for more flavor if you prefer. Make sure to add water as much as you need to keep the squash from getting greasy.

Sweet Potato Patties

I like the frozen sweet potato patties. They are quick and easy to cook when I don't want to use fresh sweet potatos. You will need a baking sheet. You can line your baking sheet with alumninim foil, shiny side down or use it without foil. Spray your baking sheet with cooking spray. If you so not have cooking spray you can use cooking oil or butter. Follow the baking directions on the package. Once the baking time is complete add cinnamon and sugar to the top of the sweet potato patties and bake for an additional five minutes or until the cinnamon and sugar has melted. You can add butter to the patties before adding cinnamon and sugar.

Cornbread

Usually I do not measure my ingredients when I make biscuits or cornbread. If you want to measure your cornmeal use two cups of cornmeal for a pan of cornbread. Add milk. I used buttermilk. I added three eggs, baking soda, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, lawrys seasoning, olive oil and shredded cheese. Before you began mixing your ingredients preheat your oven for 350. Bake your cornbread for 30 minutes or until the sides are golden brown.

Ham Steaks

I used precooked ham steaks. In a pan on the stove add some butter, brown sugar and soy sauce. Cook the ham steaks in the mixture. Happy cooking!
