Recipe Review

Today’s Recipe and Location:           Glazed Easter Ham

Found in: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays

                  Pages:  100 - 101     Copyright:  2013  Harper Collins

I figured out that there are 192 calories per 4 ounce serving.. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)

         The glaze is absolutely amazing. Who knew that a can of Dr. Pepper could make such a difference. But why am I surprised? Ree has added a can of pop to many recipes and it does something wonderful to each and every recipe I have made. I have to admit that all recipes with pop were a big hit among the masses that I have fed.

Here is the precooked ham

I tented the ham and starting the cooking process

The final product was beautiful
and so darn tasty

Random Reflections        

         Let’s talk echocardiograms.  Why not?  What else do you have to do now? I have tremendous respect for Ed Spain who administers my Echo every year.  He is a true professional. I have always asked for him to perform my Echo because I believe in having the same person administer the Echo, so I have consistency. He came highly recommended to me from another amazing professional – my cardiologist Dr. William Mackin. I am so blessed to have people I trust, who have kept me in great health, even though I have a weak Mitral Valve. Ain’t life grand?

       

Irksome Ideas and Images

         One of the things that annoys me greatly is when I am cooking, and use the wrong size bowl. It is such a dumb thing to write about, but I hate it when the bowl is too small and flour goes everywhere. This is just one of those little things that irks me.
