I am in the midst of planning my Easter dinner. Even though it is usually just my husband and two kids, I still like to make them a meal fit for a king during the holidays (since I fail miserably at it during the normal days of the year).
Every year we always have a big spiral ham. I love the ones that come with the crunchy topping pack. It caramelizes atop the ham and creates this succulent taste that will make your mouth water for more.
We don’t ever eat the entire ham, so I am always on the lookout for new recipes to try that keeps ham as the main ingredient. Thanks to The National Pork Board this year, I have plenty of new ones to try!
This spring, the National Pork Board brings a dose of sophistication to the must-have Easter ham with surprisingly simple recipes and tips.
- Ham and Brie Baguettes: For a French-inspired lunch, cut open a baguette and fill it with sliced ham, creamy Brie, mixed greens, and a mixture of honey and Dijon mustard.
- Ham Reuben: Make your ham sandwich corner-deli style! Combine sliced ham, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread. Try grilling it for a flavorful twist on this classic.
- Ham, Cheddar, and Chutney Quesadillas: For a new take on ham and cheese, fill a quesadilla with sliced ham, shredded Cheddar, and store-bought chutney and heat through until cheddar is melted.

Growing up we didn’t usually have Easter baskets…but I remember one year, we kids woke up one Easter Morning and at the breakfast table were huge filled baskets for each of us! Wow, we were so excited…especially when mom allowed us to eat candy for our breakfast! 😀

I remember along time ago, when the children were younger, I decided to hide money in their plastic eggs for the annual Easter egg hunt. We had to have it indoors also because of snow & cold still outside. I never saw kids tear up a house so fast trying to find those eggs!
