| Ham loaf was on sale at Hy-Vee, so we bought a couple pounds and tonight for supper we made Ham balls. I had never even heard of ham balls before we moved to Iowa...maybe it just isn't a "big city" sort of food...and I have never made them before. I looked through my cookbooks, and decided there would be a recipe either in the "Iowa 4-H" cookbook, or the "Central College Dutch Ladies" cookbook. The Dutch ladies win! I rolled the balls, Scott stirred up the sauce, and they are in the oven cooking. I wonder what Iowans serve with their ham balls? I am going with mashed potatoes. |

Do you remember having these for my wedding? We often have scalloped potatoes or mac n cheese with them. Or baked corn. I personally like a cheesy side dish to match the vinegar based sweet sauce that I put on them. It's not just an Iowa thing -- it's a central PA thing, too!!!
