Easter goodies



I made an entire 12 lb ham for the four of us (one of us wasn't partaking in any ham), but at $0.76 a lb for a whole one, it cost about as much a the halves, and I figured it would last many meals. We'll freeze all but a little to have later this week. I made a honey glaze with brown sugar, dijon mustard and honey and cooked it in pineapples with the juices.


We also tried out a new yummy recipe that the secretary at Mike's work emailed to everyone--
Strawberry spinach salad (I halved the recipe and cut back on the sugar).

2 TBSP sesame seeds
1 TBSP poppy seeds
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup distilled balsamic
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 TBSp minced onion
10 ounces fresh spinach, rinsed, drained
1 quart fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup slivered almonds

In a large bowl, combine spinach, strawberries and almonds. Pour dressing (mix all other ingredients) over salad and toss. Refrigerate 10-15 minutes before serving.
