Every year I have a dilemma at Easter. My husband and I both enjoy ham, especially Honey Baked Ham, but the smallest ham is actually quite large for just two people. We have Petit Macaron now, but he’s still rather picky at 15 months old, so he’s not helping out with ham consumption. That means […]
