These croquettes remind me of a tuna fish croquette that my nana made that were delicious. Wish I had the recipe.
Ham and cheese croquettes look like a delicious choice for appetizers or a snack. Substitute the ham with chicken or pork for a variety of croquettes. Love the possibilities.
Use your ham leftovers for this recipes.
The recipe doesn't specify adding the ham and cheese, but I assume it is after the dough is cut.

"If you’re tired of serving plain rice with dinner, this baked rice pilaf is a simple, delicious upgrade. Pilaf is a fluffy rice side dish cooked in broth with vegetables and herbs, and this version includes carrots, celery, onion, fresh parsley and chicken bouillon." Comment from Taste of Home
This rice pilaf looks like it is delicious on its own, but I would love to add chicken or pork to make it a main dish.

"Apple fritter cake is incredibly moist, with a good hit of tart apple flavor and warm spices. The thin glaze on top adds a bit of sweetness without being cloying. Honeycrisp apples work particularly well in this recipe, delivering a tart-sweet flavor that complements the cake." Comment from Southern Living
Just bring me a piece of this cake hot out of the oven with a cup of coffee. Oh my God, it sounds delicious!

"Our Key lime pound cake somehow manages to be both substantial and airy—it's a textural dream. It's also infused with the zesty zing of fresh Key limes. That's thanks to both lime zest and Key lime juice, a dynamic, flavorful duo that really shines in this recipe. The icing on the cake (literally) is a gorgeously silky and wonderfully tart Key lime glaze." Comment from Southern Living
This pound cake sounds awesome. Lemon pound cake is one of my favorite cakes and key lime has to be much better.

Chicken Marsala isn’t a traditional Italian dish. Rather, it's an Italian American dish, crafted by immigrants who were looking to recreate their favorite meals in their new homeland. Since lamb and pork weren’t readily available, scallops or scaloppini ("thin cuts of meat") were made from chicken.
The chicken is cooked in a hot skillet with a bit of oil or butter and then served with a pan sauce made with Marsala wine. Today, most chicken Marsala is served with pasta, but risotto, mashed potatoes, or roasted potatoes are also excellent accompaniments." Comment from Simply Recipes
This recipe will be a first for me since I've never had Chicken Marsala. It looks and sounds delicious.

"These roasted mushrooms are perfect if you're hoping to transform bland mushrooms into a flavorful side dish! My favorite way to serve these is with a juicy grilled ribeye. You can use any oven-proof skillet or dish; use a size that's just big enough to fit all the mushrooms." Comment from All Recipes
Stuffed mushrooms are one of my favorite appetizers and these look delicious. I would have to find a way to add crab!
