I love Pinterest!! I am always looking up new recipes. I recently found a pin about "best Ham ever" so last night when I found Ham's on sale at Winco, I thought sure I will try it. This is the pin I found it on. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/914862400535152/

We LOVE Idahoan Steakhouse Scalloped potatoes, and I got them at Winco for $1.25 a box. I know that home made is best, but I tend a 2 1/2 year old, 5 days a week, and my 18 month old 24/7 . I have a home to keep up, and I am in charge of the children in our congregation. In the LDS faith I am the Primary President. So I am pretty busy!! Plus making home made scalloped potatoes for two adults and a toddler seems like a waste of time!!
So we are having glazed ham with pineapple and scalloped potatoes and baby "M"s favorite Green beans.
Chocolate peanut butter cookies for dessert!
