As the weather gets colder, my taste in food changes (as I'm sure most peoples' do). I'm less of a "salad person" and more of a "comfort-food" person. The holidays are a perfect time to When the folks at Cook's Hams approached me and asked if I'd like to try one of their hams, I jumped at the chance. Nothing says family dinner like ham!
Now, I have to admit that I have not always been a ham lover and for a long time thought I didn't like ham. It turns out that I am just really picky about what kind of ham I like.
When I was young, my grandmother used to serve canned ham which was where I got the idea that I didn't like ham. (Personally, I don't think meat should ever come out of a can, but that's just my opinion.) It wasn't until my uncle raised a pig and we had it for Easter dinner (I know, it's sad) that I realized I actually like ham - if it's good ham.
Soooo I can offer my expert-I-used-to-hate-ham-when-I-was-younger opinion that the spiral baked ham I got from Cook's was superb. In fact, it rivals those fancy hams from that exclusive ham store - you know the one I'm talking about, right? And at a fraction of the cost!
And the leftovers!! If you're looking for ideas of what to do with all of the leftovers, check out some great ham recipes and ideas.
Disclosure: The folks at Cook's provided me with a delicious, juicy, tasty ham for review. The opinions expressed in my blog are my own and are no way influenced by any compensation.

My husband and I were talking about hams yesterday and we went to Honey Baked Ham and bought one!
Did you see the tortilla x-mas tree recipe in the link you provided for Cook's ham? I am giving them a try. Thanks for sharing!
