Crockpot Ham/"Easter" Dinner-Breakfast

My picture...  

I'm OFFICIALLY done making hams! (Ok I might make one more, I have an idea. If this next idea doesn't work then, yes I'm officially done!) I'm not saying that you shouldn't but...I cooked the ham in the crockpot... 

Before


After Crockpot Cooking.


It was ok while in the crockpot but it wasn't sweet. I decided to mix two recipes (which are below). The second recipe said to take the ham out the crockpot and put it in the oven on broil to do the glaze.....ok. The ham had fallen apart for the most part, which made it a little difficult to get out. I put the ham in the casserole dish and I swear it wasn't out for 5 mins and it was DRY.....HOW?! I did the "glaze" of course it didn't look like the picture but what ever does? I definitely didn't want to leave it in the oven to dry out more!   Now, I will say this! The glaze that did what it was supposed to do tasted really good! (I think once I stopped eating ham for years a while ago I lost the "it" for it. I've tried to recreate that taste and feeling so many times and I think it's just gone. And that's ok, I'm changing, my body is changing, my taste are changing. I told The Lil Chef I'm becoming an involuntary vegetarian.) I believed The Lil Chef liked it but you can never really tell because she doesn't eat alot. 
We ate "Easter Dinner" for breakfast. (we had family to visit, so we had to get our meal out of the way considering I can't eat at other people's houses) It was good but something wasn't flowing for me. 

 

Shar did fantastic with this bread!!!!!!!!! 

I came home and had leftovers so it wasn't terrible. I'd just rather not eat it altogether.
All in all we had a very nice time today, I'm hoping you guys did as well! Officially going to lay down!    







 This is the recipe I used,  http://ladywiththeredrocker.com/2012/12/10/the-best-copy-cat-honey-baked-ham/ I found it on Pinterest and she borrowed the recipe from http://www.copykat.com/2010/03/25/honey-baked-ham-like-honeybaked-ham/
I also used a few ideas from this recipe: http://myfrugaladventures.com/2015/03/slow-cooker-maple-glazed-ham/

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Johnny Mango's Shrimp Fried Rice with Fiery Lime Sauce

By
Backstory: My friend introduced me to this AMAZING fried rice about 6yrs ago. She asked did I want "fried rice" (I'm thinking "traditional" fried rice) OH NO!

Authentic 1-Day Ethiopian Injera: Gluten-Free 100% Teff Flatbread

By
I really really hope that I can make this recipe work! I received some teff flour from the food pantry and I had NO idea what to do with it. I am so happy I found this recipe! Makes:  4-6 Injera Time:  1 day to ferment, about 30 minutes to cook Tools: Large glass bowl Cheesecloth, muslin or kitchen towel with a thin weave Parchment paper Ingredients: Try to buy everything organic.   Here’s why . 1 1/2 cups teff flour 2 cups pure water 1/2 tsp baking powder Coconut oil for pan 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste Let’s get started. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch I made looked a bit different, some were brain-like (below) and some were less puffy. Bring a pan to medium heat, and very lightly, coat ...
