Honey Baked Ham – Unlikely Martha

Celebrating Motherhood with Honey Baked Ham

With Mother’s Day just under a week away, while some would like to put their feet up and enjoy a free day of spa lounging to include bottomless mimosas and endless girl talk the truth of the matter is this fantasy won’t happen for the best of us.

Being a Mother has been an incredible calling for me from the day the pregnancy tests were confirmed and I don’t know about you but no one can celebrate a mother like another mother. We know the stresses, the balancing act and the feel of little arms around our neck for the sweetest cuddles.

This Mother’s Day I’ve decided to throw a little get together for some of my favorite mothers. We’re all on this journey together and sometimes it is soothing to sit and talk with mothers who are going through the same issues that I’m going through parenting my children.

Friday night we are going to get together and have a great time with some eats and drinks and sit and share pregnancy, and labor war stories. With it being a Friday evening I am not looking to do ANY cooking and Honey Baked Ham’s heat and eat options offer a great starting point for the menu.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Ham and Cheese Bites

If you are going with something more traditional for Mother’s Day dinner Honey Baked Ham has you covered with a few options to include a gift basket.

This decadent basket includes:

Almond Rocha Buttercrunch Candy, Lindt White Chocolate Truffle, Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Premium Square, Angelina’s Sweet Butter Cookies, Three Pepper Blend Water Crackers, California Smoked Almonds, Clair de Lune Brie Creamy Cheese Spread, Cranberry Harvest Medley, Lindt Hazelnut Chocolate Truffle, Godiva Milk Chocolate Chociste Bar, & Chocolate Crunch Cookie.

One 8 lb. HoneyBaked Half Ham
Two 2 lb. packages of Green Bean Casserole
Two 2 lb. packages of Yukon Mashed Potatoes

Getting Ready for Easter with Honey Baked Ham + Giveaway

In case you hadn’t noticed Easter is just around the corner. With the hustle and bustle of buying dresses and practicing Easter speeches it is so easy to wait until the last minute to make plans regarding Easter dinner and post service fellowship.

Last year the family and I joined my best friend and her family for brunch at a local restaurant. This year she is hosting everyone at her home for a family style brunch. We’ve been requested to contribute a few dishes to the feast and being that I cook alright for us I would rather just pick up something that is ready to heat and eat for a large group of people. Mishap proof, cause something always goes wrong when I try to cook in large batches. I know my lane.

After visiting the Honey Baked Ham headquarters in December and having the opportunity to taste the majority of their heat and eat options I already know where my dishes are coming from.

These two were my favorites:

In the event you weren’t aware Honey Baked Ham also offers Turkey Breasts in addition to their signature Hams. Outside of the premium meats, there are also a plethora of options for heat and eat sides as well as delectable desserts.

Head over to your local Honey Baked store to see the selections for yourself. Please visit MyHoneyBakedStore.com for locations and hours as well as HoneyBakedOnline.com for shipping orders.

Honey Baked Ham will also be hosting a Twitter chat on April 15, 2014. April 15 is not just known as tax day but is also recognized as ” National Glazed Spiral Ham Day”. Please join us for a great conversation revolving around Easter family traditions using the hashtag #HoneyBakedEaster

Now for the fun part. Honey Baked Ham is offering one of you a $50 Gift Card to get your Easter dinner started. Winner must be a US resident. Contest will end on April 15. Good Luck!
