Great big juicy burgers
Take your ground beef package out the day before serving and let it thaw. Add seasonings to marinate the meat. Dice vegetables and herbs so that there is 1 part vegetable to 2 - 4 parts of meat. Mix together. Add one egg per pound and oatmeal (for a meatloaf style burger) and mix. Form patties and grill or panfry for deliciously juicy burgers!
Fresh ham steaks with apples
Olive oil
2 Fresh Ham Steaks (thawed)
1 T. butter
1 small onion sliced thin
1 clove garlic
1/4 c. white wine
4 c. shredded Cabbage
1 empire apple cored and sliced thin
1/4 c. apple cider or chicken stock

Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet and put on medium-high heat. Place ham steaks into skillet and sear on both sides (about 2 minutes each side). Remove. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic and onions, sauté until soft (about three minutes). Add white wine to deglaze the pan. Toss in apples, cabbage, cider (or stock), thyme, salt and pepper.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until pork it to desired doneness. Enjoy!
