What to do with Easter Ham leftovers? (Bow-ties with peas and ham)

Busy weekend behind me and busy week ahead!  So sorry, my dear friends, there will be no super awesome stories or words of wisdom this week.  I do wish you a wonderful Easter and hope everyone enjoys time with their family or friends.

I'm hosting Easter breakfast on Saturday before our neighborhood's big Easter Egg hunt.  What's on the menu???  Ricotta Doughnuts with Blueberry Compote, Potato Basil Fritatta, Smoothies and Fruit Platter.  What will you be making this weekend?

If you intend to make an Easter Ham this is the recipe for you...that is if you actually have leftovers.
