Sunday:  Easter Lunch with Family!

·          We always host Easter at our house, but everyone helps with the wonderful food.  This year, I made a ham in the crockpot, which couldn’t have been easier.  I did use a liner for the crockpot since this ham can be a little messy. 

Crock Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham

                1 large spiral sliced ham

                2 cups brown sugar

                2 cans pineapple tidbits or chunks

                Put one cup brown sugar in the bottom of the crock pot.  Place the ham on top of it, then sprinkle the other cup of brown sugar over the top of the ham.  Last, pour in the 2 cans of pineapple with the juice.  Cook on low 7-8 hours.  It will just fall off the bone when it’s ready!

Monday:  Dinner Out

·          The boys started swim lessons on Mondays and Wednesdays, and we also planned to watch Chad play softball in the evening, so we grabbed a quick dinner out.  Chad’s softball game ended up being cancelled, but since I had already told the kids we were having burgers, we went ahead with the plan.  J

Tuesday:  Turkey Lasagna & Spinach Salad

·          Costco makes a great turkey & spinach lasagna, which was perfect for our busy week!

Wednesday:  Dinner at Mom’s

Thursday:  Ham & Mozzarella Crescent Rollups with Roasted Green Beans

Ham & Mozzarella Crescent Rollups

·          My kids love anything rolled up in a crescent roll.  J  We used some nitrate-free Canadian ham and mozzarella cheese for this meal.  I brushed a little melted butter over the top and sprinkled on a little garlic salt to give it more flavor.  

      Callen asked for green beans to go along with it.  This meal made everyone happy!

Friday:  Pizza & Movie Night!

Saturday:  Breakfast for Dinner:  Scrambled Eggs with Spinach, Bacon, Toast, & Fruit

·          A favorite for our three rascals…even when I add in spinach.  Ha!
