Pantry Raid! Ham & Sweet Potato Gnocchi Bake
I’m learning to love leftovers in a whole new way. I find myself actually thinking ahead to what else I can make on day 2, 3, and after freezing leftovers. The challenge is making sure I keep track of those ideas once the first go around is made and served! This one was a perfect opportunity to grab some ham and use up some other ingredients, resulting in a hearty main dish, side dish, or even brunch recipe. Another pantry raid success, if you ask me!

Recipe Notes

With the military move season upon so many of us (not US in particular, but so many others!), finding ways to use pantry items is crucial.  Meals like this can be scrounged, prepped, cooked and on the table in less than an hour.  I find that the key is not overthinking it too much.  The purpose is to get in, get out, and get dinner on the table–all while eating down the host of items already in the house.

And if I do say so myself, this Ham & Sweet Potato Gnocchi Bake was a perfect example of that approach.  Yum!
