Dry Ham? Not Anymore!

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

If you've ever ended up with dry, disappointing ham…I am here to help fix that for good.

Whether you opt to use an Instant Pot or oven, I am walking you through how to make a juicy, tender, glazed ham that will guarantee your ham is the centerpiece it should be.

Even better? Each method is EASY!!!

No complicated steps, no guesswork, no basting!

Pick the one that works best for you:

  • ​Instant Pot Ham: If your ham is on the smaller side, the Instant Pot is hands-down the easiest option. The moist heat keeps the ham incredibly tender, and the honey glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the savory flavor. It's fast and frees up your oven for sides--which is a always a win when making a bit meal.
  • ​Baked Ham: If you are working with a larger ham, this is the way to go. With a simple sweet and savory pineapple glaze and low and slow bake in the oven, this glazed ham is tender, flavorful, and worthy of any holiday dinner.

Kristen's Tip: You can use either glaze with either cooking method. Choose what fits your family's taste! The Instant Pot version keeps it simple and the baked version is a bit more complex -- both are delicious!

And remember, don't toss that leftover ham. It's basically a gift to your future self.

Hi Reader, Tis the season for pasta salads! From picnics to potlucks to summer cookouts, nearly every summer meal benefits from a pasta salad. But the difference between good pasta salad and GREAT Pasta salad comes down to one crucial thing. Do NOT rinse your pasta after cooking. When you rinse pasta you remove the starch that allows the dressing or sauce to coat to the pasta. If you have had a flavorless pasta--chances are the pasta was rinsed! Do THIS instead. I recommend tossing a bit of...
