Over the holiday season I stocked up on a couple of hams when they were super cheap – 99 cents a pound? Yes, please. That means that when I cook one up, we’ll pretty much be eating off of it for a week. We had the ham when I first cooked it and then we … More Tasty Tuesday – Ham and Corn Soup
We went camping the day that Jude got out of school this year.
