Classic New England Boiled Dinner with Ham; a Very Special Announcement! #whatscookin#boileddinner
#newenglandboileddinner #boileddinnerwithhamandcabbage. Classic New England Boiled Dinner With Ham.
Today, I'm cooking one of Mitch's FAVORITES! Classic New England boiled dinner with ham! I typically cook mine with cabbage, carrots, and potatoes, but you can change it up with any vegetables you want (just make sure they'll stand up to being boiled). I happen to be cooking mine on the woodstove, but any cooktop will work. Even a slow cooker or an instant pot. This is one of the easiest ways to cook a ham, in my humble opinion, and it's the way I grew up having it. I hope you give this a try and let me know how you made it your own.
Hi, I'm Christine. Welcome to My Tiny Retirement. My husband, Mitch, and I went tiny two years ago for various reasons. The number one reason was to have control over our own lives. Going tiny for financial independence was also a big reason. It felt like every time we got on a path to lower our monthly bills, we were right back in the same spot within five years, the hamster wheel had us but good. And we wanted to retire . . . we were in our fifties, young enough to be able to do things but the health issues of age were creeping up. It was obvious that as long as we had the big monthly mortgage payment, nothing was going to change. We’d been watching the tiny house movement for years, loving it, but a tiny house on wheels was not what we were looking for . . . we didn’t want to be nomads, we wanted permanency to garden, raise chickens, we wanted a homestead but we didn’t want the big farmhouse that typically goes with it (at least in our minds). And we definitely didn’t want a loft for a bedroom. And, surprisingly, a tiny house on wheels is quite expensive, which we also didn’t want. One day sitting around the firepit at our camp in my hometown in Maine, we contemplated never leaving, we loved it at camp. We started visualizing clearing out some of the trees for a garden, where we would put the chicken coop, where a good place for a couple of guest cabins would be . . . all in daydream mode, mind you. But . . . as long as we had the big mortgage and the big house, we could never retire or do anything but work to pay for that house because we still had a good fifteen years left on the mortgage. Then the light bulb went off. What were we doing?! We wanted to go tiny. We OWNED over six acres outright. We already had a shell of a tiny dwelling on the property. Anything we needed to do to make it habitable would have to be done anyway to a new tiny house. What the heck was wrong with us?! Decision made. We were going tiny for financial freedom and going tiny to retire early. The house in New Hampshire was going on the market! IMMEDIATELY. This was mid-May of 2019. June 13th, not even 30 days later, we were moving into the camper with all of our belongings in storage, and went to work making our tiny camp into our perfect tiny house cottage in the woods. We were officially pulled into the tiny house movement. Follow along our journey as we live our tiny house lifestyle as we garden, work on our tiny home, cook some fantastic meals, and just enjoy our tiny house life and live our own way, thanks to living in a tiny house. How about you? You know who we are now, drop some comments and tell us about yourselves.
