Marya's Chicken (Noodle) Soup

1. In olive oil, stir around the following on medium for about 5 minutes: 
• 3 large carrots, diced small
• 3 celery stalks, diced small
• 1 tsp. or more minced garlic
• 1/2 cup minced onion
2.  Combine the sauteed veggies with 6 cups chicken broth (I use bouillon cubes and it is good).
3. Also add, and then simmer for 15 minutes: 
• 1/4 tsp. marjoram
• 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
• sprinkle of dried bay leaves (if cut)
• 1 tsp. dried parsley
4.  Add a heaped cup of diced chicken (I just used my pre-cooked baked chicken recipe), and simmer for 5 more minutes.

 *Add noodles if desired.

Roast Ham (baptism recipe)

1 Large SPIRAL SLICED Ham 5-8 pounds
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 c maple syrup
1/4 c dijon mustard

Set oven to 325.  Place ham in a roasting dish and in oven for 30 minutes. 

Mix next 3 ingredients.  Pour half of the sauce over the ham after its first stint in the oven.  Roast for another 30 minutes.  Then pour the other half over.  Roast for another 20 minutes and take out.  This keeps really well in a crockpot on the 'keep warm setting' if you need to have it later.
