Easter and country ham go hand in hand to me. Whether it’s a large piece of ham for slicing, or sandwiched into biscuits or added to stuffed eggs. I pretty much always include it on the buffet.

And sometimes, I have a few fruits or vegetables hanging around I want to make … [Read more...] about Fresh Corn and Zucchini Loaf
