"Canned" Ham & Bean Soup

I call this "Canned" in the title as I use canned beans and canned condensed soup. This is easy to put together, flavor is excellent! I made this on a whim to use up some frozen ham steaks I had lingering in the freezer. I made this on 23 Aug 2024, and when I make again, I will take photos.

Blue Hawaiian

An easy and refreshing drink. Many of the Blue Hawaiian recipes call for white rum, I am using Malibu rum which is coconut flavored. I also use unsweetened coconut cream and many recipes call for cream of coconut which is sweetened. The flavor is excellent, and the family loves these! Keep in mind, the quality of the Blue Curacao you use will determine on the quality of blue color (it may come out greenish blue), the taste will be the same. You can also add a drop or two of blue food coloring into the shaker before shaking.
