One Pot - Creamy Ham, Pea and Egg Noodles
Cooking for one (or two) means you often have leftovers from things you've thawed. In this case, I had a cup or so of diced ham from a 2 cup bag I'd frozen for soup. (I used the other cup for a broccoli, cheddar cheese and ham quiche.)
I found an online 'one dish' recipe and scaled it down to suit the amounts I had. Although I halved all the other ingredients, I used the full 2 cups of chicken stock (1 1/2 cups of stock and 1/2 cup of water, works too) because I needed to have enough liquid to cover the noodles. The noodles were cooked in the pan and didn't suffer taste-wise from the substitution. I also omitted the lemon juice because I was saving my lone lemon for something else. Instead of using half and half, I used 1/4 cup of whipping cream.

The dish was quick to assemble and delicious and the leftover portion could be taken to work the next day for lunch or enjoyed for a repeat supper.
