Perfect Holiday Glazed Ham

Perfect Holiday Glazed Ham

Clove scented and brown sugar brushed spiral sliced ham is one of my favorite things to serve for a holiday dinner and one of the easiest to prepare. Recently I discovered a wonderful company that carries all grass-fed, pastured and organic meats including ham and I’m eager to share it with you. It’s called American Farmer’s Network and they have lovely beef, chicken and pork. And spiral sliced hams! All their meat is:

  • Produced without any GMOs, growth hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides
  • Preservative free
  • Free range / humanely raised livestock
  • Organic

I love this company and the meat we’ve had is amazing. I don’t receive any compensation by recommending them. I just think they’re great and if you’re trying to eat healthier meats, I thought you’d like to know about them 🙂 Mostly, I’m excited because I can make my Perfect Holiday Glazed Ham!

My holiday menu looks like this:

  • Perfect Holiday Glazed Ham with Orange-Curry Glaze
  • Best ever Scalloped Potatoes
  • Field Green Salad w/Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • Gluten Free Dense & Luscious Carrot Cake

If you love scalloped potatoes, you really must try the above recipe. It’s perfect for a crowd and trust me, every single bit will get eaten, it’s that good! It’s creamy, cheesy and goes perfectly with ham or even roast beef!

Here’s how I do my spiral sliced ham:

Kate’s Tips

  • Some spiral sliced hams come with a spice packet. You can use it if you like but I usually toss it and make my own.
  • Make a field green salad to go with your ham and scalloped potatoes. Add pomegranate seeds, sliced almonds, sections of little tangerines, and sliced onions. Use a balsamic vinaigrette to finish.
  • Here are some of the products I use to make the glaze: Madras Curry Powder, Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, Organic Orange Marmalade, and Annie’s Homegrown Organic Dijon Mustard.
  • If you don’t like curry just leave it out! Add a little more dijon mustard and it will be fine. Or just use brown sugar and the spices. You could do honey instead of the marmalade, or, even apple butter would work in this glaze.
  • Whatever you do, don’t throw away that ham bone! You will want it for soup come january and this is the perfect soup: Ham and Bean soup with Winter Vegetables. This is hands down my favorite soup on a cold winter’s night!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

xoxo

New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about Go New post up at @momtomompodcast!. So much about God and His Word is still a mystery, even to the greatest theological minds down through the ages. Faith–simple, childlike #faith is what holds the whole thing up. But, do we just stop there?
.
In 2 Timothy 2:15, we’re charged to rightly handle the Word of Truth and to study to show ourselves approved unto God. And in 1 Peter 3, we’re told to always be ready to give an account of the hope that we have in Christ.
.
Should part of that readiness be Biblical literacy–not just being able to quote Scripture, but being able to use those Scriptures to better know God–His character and attributes–and to better know the doctrines of our faith and how those are to be lived out in our everyday lives? .

Today, we’re joined by @phyliciamasonheimer who is going to help answer that question and hopefully give us some tips for living in the tension of both a simple faith and practical theology.

See that smile on my face? That smile is because G See that smile on my face? That smile is because God sent me a sweet holy reminder this week in the form of my first royalty check for The God Dare.
.
In this day and age it’s a rare thing for most authors to pay back their advance to their publisher, especially within the first 6 months of a books release. So I’m standing here in awe of His goodness and the faithfulness of all of you who’ve read and shared my book. I’m honored and deeply humbled as He used this moment to remind me how good He’s been to me in this writing journey.
.
The God Dare has been a labor of love that took 8 years to go from simple blog post to published book and I stand here amazed today that it’s already in its second printing and, I earned my first royalty check.
.
My first book came out in 2012 and I’ve yet to pay back that advance. It can take time and for most of us it does, especially in the Christian book world. But if you’re a writer who’s got a book coming out soon or you’re thinking of writing some day, follow that dream. Dreams do come true...I promise 💖.
.
Keep writing, keep trusting, keep praying, keep believing. He has a plan and it’s good. Bless you and thank you all so very much for all you love & support 😘. #hopewriters #calledcreatives #authorsofig #writersofinstagram #christianwriters #publishedauthor #hopewriter #thegoddare #christianpublishing #amwriting @hopewriters @calledcreatives
If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re goi If you’re a mom, you’re human and you’re going to make mistakes. ⠀
⠀
Your kids WILL frustrate you. You’ll get angry, crabby and irritated. It goes with the territory so stop beating yourself up over it. We’ve all done it, we’ll do it again. Living in a fallen world with fallen natures takes everything in us to conquer the sin deep within. But, your children will survive your crabby days, I promise! And, there's hope for change.⠀
⠀
I’m further along in my parenting journey, my daughter is grown with children of her own so I’ll share my perspective. I struggled with anger, I still do to be honest. Mostly because I have a way in my head I think everything should be. When it doesn’t look the way I want it to, I snap. I answer harshly. I’m impatient. I want to control life and I want life a certain way—my way—which is rarely THE way.⠀
⠀
I’m selfish, thinking I have rights but the truth is, when we follow Christ we give up our right to ourselves. We tell the Lord with all sincerity, “I surrender all” until we don’t and the inner ugly rears its head. I must surrender my ways, my wants, my ego, my future, my time, my control, my everything to the only One who can change me from the inside out. ⠀
⠀
The way you love is the way you’ll live. If you sincerely love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, then His love will flow out of you naturally. Not perfectly but naturally. Because, mama, you’ll never be perfect.... .

I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sl I remember my mom praying "now I lay me down to sleep" each night when I was little, along with some other prayers that weren't very Biblical but brought comfort to a scared little girl. Our family didn't place much emphasis on God or prayer and I didn't come to know the Lord until after I turned 29. When I had my daughter a year later, I knew prayer would be an integral part of our lives. I'm convinced time on our knees is the best investment we can make in our children's lives.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Before your children were a glimmer in your eye, God knew them and set a plan for his or her life firmly in place. God ordered their steps and set the course of their lives with every twist and turn already mapped out. He dreamed a big dream and gave you the task, with His help, of finding out what that big dream is. He wants to guide you every step of the way and help you dig down deep and mine every ounce of greatness in your child. Because the dreams and desires we hold for our children and ourselves are important to God—more important than we can imagine. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I was never afraid to believe God had a huge plan for my daughter. I was just naive enough to take God at His word and believe in the power of destiny. I've seen my belief bear tremendous fruit over the years. I'm pleading with you here: Don't be afraid to dream BIG for your child....

These are unprecedented times. So many parents are These are unprecedented times. So many parents are being thrown into schooling-from-home with little to no direction. We’ve shared before in episode 30 some general ideas and suggestions for homeschooling, so we’re not going to unpack all of that today. But we would like to dive deeper into one part of homeschooling that we believe is the foundation for what all the rest of our child’s education and really their very lives is built upon.
.
Today, we’re talking about Morning Time. Some folks prefer to call it Morning Basket, Morning Meeting, others who maybe choose to slot it at other times in the day instead of the morning have been known to call it Symposium or Power Hour. No matter what you call it, if you’ve been homeschooling for any length of time, you definitely know that it’s a current buzzword in homeschooling circles. It seems that everyone has caught the fever.
