Since I got off work this morning at 7:00 I crashed for a bit and then was too lazy to cook much. I took some diced ham from the freezer, sauteed onions, celery and carrots till tender. Stirred in the ham and warmed it through. Took two cans of butter beans, drained and rinsed them, letting them drain well for a while. A third can of beans was placed in a bowl with a can of water and I mashed them adding it to the sauteed veggies and ham, salt and pepper, simmered until the oven was up to temp for box mix corn muffins with salsa added. When I put the muffins in the oven I added the drained beans to the soup pan. All told, a lovely bean and ham soup with cornbread muffins in about an hour. Now I'm ready to go to sleep again.
