Except for the occasional Southern-style country ham my father would lug home after a business trip that took him deep into Dixie, I was always envious of the Europeans and their superior pork products. The Italians had prosciutto. The Germans had Black Forrest Ham. And the Spanish, I would... Read More »

A Crepe Filled With Ham, Asparagus, and a Cheese Sauce... Yum!
I have loved crêpes ever since my old ballet company hired the "Crêpe Lady" for one of our annual garden parties (a sort of fundraising thing for the company). Ever since then I have gotten crêpes at every chance, so of course I had to try making them myself!
This recipe is super easy to make... almost like making pancakes! You can put all sorts of sweet or savory fillings in them... some of my favorites are sliced bananas with chocolate syrup, or ham and asparagus with this cheese sauce! (It's at the bottom of the post). Very yummy. What types of fillings do you like in your crêpes?

Scalloped Potatoes
Every time we buy a Honeybaked ham, my mom makes these scalloped potatoes. She usually starts them early in the morning, and it cooks all day, torturing us with the tasty smells! This year she decided to use bacon instead of the ham, and it was delicious! I love it both ways, but I think I would have to compare them both at once to figure out which I like best. Yeah... they're that good!

It's an Easter chick, made of rice and carrots! And he's staring at a cute little Easter basket!
Eggs, potatoes, Honeybaked Ham. Asparagus, spinach dip. Oh, and of course chocolate. Those are the essential elements to an Easter with my family. Not a single Easter Sunday goes by without all of these foods involved in some way. Of course there are Easter eggs, which at our ages we still decorate and hunt for, and later turn into deviled eggs, potato salad, and egg salad. We always have scalloped potatoes, which slowly cook in the Crock pot all day and by dinner are torturing us with the amazing smells! And, of course, the Honeybaked Ham. An Easter tradition, although in recent years we have been buying smaller hams since we aren't all at home to eat up the leftovers anymore. And always, always my mom's spinach dip! Seriously, the best spinach dip in the world. I'm not kidding. I'll put the recipe up later, and you will see just how easy and delicious it is!
