Mustard Glazed Ham

Mustard Glazed Ham is a bone-in, spiral cut ham baked with glaze made from honey, brown sugar, ham drippings and stone ground mustard.

After that Air Fryer Salmon with Brown Sugar Glaze from last week, I decided that a similar recipe for ham needed to be done with the upcoming Easter holiday around the corner. I wanted the glaze to have great mustard flavor with a touch of sweetness that roasted up beautifully. This Mustard Glazed Ham really works and makes a gorgeous main course on your holiday table. We pair this ham with Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes, gravy and Roasted Asparagus. Simple, traditional, gorgeous food- that’s what it’s all about.

I really focused on pulling that mustard flavor out with this Mustard Glazed Ham. Expect that little mustard kick with each glazed bite! It is really delicious. My ten-year-old asked if I could just give him “end” pieces because it was tasty. He just wanted to eat the glaze and I can’t even blame him.

How To Keep Your Ham Moist

Ham is one of those foods that can very easily be dried out when cooking. This can be because it is over-cooked or not properly prepped before cooking. I kept this recipe really simple today and if followed correctly, you will get a very moist ham. Here are the main three things to pay attention to while cooking this ham:

WATER

Instead of having the ham baste in its juice, we are cooking it in a roasting pan. This means we will need to count on steam to keep moisture inside the ham. Steam comes from water so put 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of your roasting pan and you can go ahead and add any extra ham juices leftover from the packaging.

FOIL

You can’t steam well in an open area. Right? Think of a hot shower in a small bathroom. When the door is closed, their is crazy steam. When the door is open, there is virtually no steam. We all know this. Same applies in the oven. Create a small area to steam the ham like a closed door while showering. That aluminum foil over the top of the ham needs to be fitted tightly with the roasting pan.

COOK TIME

Be mindful not to over-cook the ham. Most hams are already cooked meaning we just need to re-heat. Pick a bone-in, pre-cooked, spiral-cut ham in the 8-10 pound range. Now, bake 10 minutes for every pound. An 8 pound ham would cook for 80 minutes and a 10 pound ham would cook for 100 minutes. Once the ham is cooked, you crank the heat, remove the foil and pour the glaze on to roast.

Note that you can cook a larger ham if needed. Adjust your cook time accordingly using the 10 minutes per pound calculation.

Ingredients

8-10 Pound Spiral Cut Ham Bone-In, pre-cooked
1/2 Cup Honey
1/2 Cup Stone Ground Mustard
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Ham Drippings
1/2 Cup Water

Instructions

Heat oven to 325 degrees.
Place the ham onto the rack in a roasting pan.
Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. I also like to add in extra ham juices from the bag the ham came in.
Wrap the the top in aluminum foil. Make sure you have a tight wrap where the ham can steam inside.
Bake for 10 minutes per pound. My ham was 8 pounds so I cooked it 80 minutes.
When there is 20 minutes left for your ham to cook, begin the glaze.
Using a basting syringe, pull 1/2 cup worth of ham drippings and put the liquid in a non-stick pan on the stove-top. Make sure to cover the ham back up well.
Along with the ham drippings, add honey, stone ground mustard and brown sugar. Bring the glaze to a low simmer and let simmer for 5 minutes. Set to the side.
After the ham has cooked, take it out of the oven and raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
Remove the foil and pour half the glaze over top of the ham.
Return to the oven for 10 minutes. Leave the foil off.
Pour the rest of the glaze over top and cook another 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

You may substitute butter for pan drippings to create your glaze.

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa is sweet with a spicy kick. I am really excited to share this recipe with everyone. The dish is bursting with amazing flavors! Plus, it is grilling season so bring on the outdoor recipes, right?

Strawberry Salsa is easy to make and utilizes all fresh ingredients. You can’t beat completely fresh. This recipe is very similar to pineapple salsa from Pork Tacos with Pineapple Salsa. The strawberries give a nice tart flavor that pairs well with the spicy jalapeno and onion. I make my strawberry salsa spicy but if you don’t enjoy spice that much and want it more mild, simply remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping up the salsa ingredients.

I just realized that my past few recipes have involved honey. We eat a whole lot of honey in this house and it is one of my favorite ingredients for cooking. Depending on what type of honey you buy, it can various flavor profiles from fruity to nutty. I tend to go with the honey that is on the sweeter side to act as a sweetener in recipes. Plus, the consistency sticks really well to everything. Especially love honey for meat marinades. Try the Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Baked Salmon or the Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Recipe for more recipes using honey that are both great summer recipes.

How to grill chicken. Grilling chicken can be a disaster but it doesn’t have to be. You want to cook on a medium to high heat. The preparation of the chicken and shape is important. Yes, your chicken’s shape is important today. I buy the thinly cut chicken breasts when grilling. You can also choose to use a meat pounder to get the chicken at a consistent thickness. This allows for more even cooking and you aren’t waiting for the thickest portion to cook while the rest dries out. Cook each side for about 7 minutes or until the internal temperature is at 165 degrees.

I love getting those slightly charred bites in mixture of the sweet strawberries and spicy jalapenos this Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa recipe. Such an awesome combination.

Grilled Honey Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Honey Chicken
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pounds chicken breasts (thin cut or pounded)
.5 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
.5 lime
1 tablespoon olive oil
pinch of pepper
Strawberry Salsa
.5 green bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1/4 white onion
1 lime
1 pint strawberries
.5 cup cilantro

Pound the chicken breasts if you need to even out the thickness.
Marinate the chicken. In a large Ziploc bag, add honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lime, olive oil and a pinch of pepper. Mix and add the chicken.
Place chicken in fridge to marinate 20 minutes to 2 hours.
Pre heat your grill to a medium high heat.
Prep your strawberry salsa. Finely dice half a green bell pepper, 1/4 of a white onion and 1 jalapeno. Toss into a small mixing bowl.
Dice your strawberries and chop the cilantro. Add to the bowl.
Squeeze 1 lime and give the strawberry salsa a mix.
Cook chicken for 7 minutes on each side.
Remove from grill and top with strawberry salsa.
Enjoy!

With inspiration from Rachael Ray™ Nutrish® DISH, I am sharing with you my 5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime. In my home, dinnertime is often the only time of day where the family is gathered in one room to talk and enjoy each others company. Shouldn’t your fur babies be a part of that time? I am sharing tips to make that possible. I am also sharing a recipe for all us humans for Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wings with honey, garlic, and hot sauce that is a real crowd pleasure.

My models today are Bella, who is a Chihuahua-Yorkie mix, and Chance, a Boxer-Lab-Beagle-possible some other breed mix. Both of my dogs were adopted. Bella was adopted over 2 years ago and had already been with multiple owners before she came to us. Chance was adopted almost 8 years ago. His litter was dropped off at a local pet store and put up for adoption. We fell in love with those big, droopy eyes immediately. I recently learned about Rachael’s Rescue® through The Rachael Ray Foundation . A portion of proceeds from each sale of Nutrish DISH is donated to The Rachael Ray Foundation. Rachael’s Rescue has donated more than $17.5 million dollars to pet charities and other organizations that do good for animals. Wowza!

5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime:

1. Feed your dogs a quality dinner. Nutrish DISH has real U.S. farm raised chicken or beef as the first ingredient. When purchasing dog food, the most important factor that I look at is if the first ingredient is meat. Avoid corn or wheat. I bought the dogs Nutrish DISH Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe and it filled the factors I look for in dog food. Meat is the first ingredient, has brown rice, carrots, peas, and no corn. The dogs went bananas for it. The more interested the dogs are in their own dinner, the less interest they have in sticking their little noses in your chicken wings.

Nutrish DISH is available nationally and online at chewy.com, amazon.com and jet.com. I picked mine up at Target on the pet aisle in the naturals dog food area. Print the coupon below to save $4 on your purchase of Nutrish DISH through the year. May print 2 times and good in stores only.

2. Create a spot near the family for the dogs to eat. Have an area just for the dogs where the children are not allowed to go and bother them eating. Set up their bowls, maybe some placements under the bowls in case of spills. I have tried over and over again to separate the dogs from one another but they end up on top of each other regardless. Chance eats about 3/4 of his bowl and then lays down to wait for Bella to finish eating and then polishes off all the food. I guess they have it all worked out amongst themselves. The important thing is that nobody is going over to them while eating and the kids aren’t sticking their fingers in the food and disrupting dinnertime. Let the dogs relax in their own space.

3. Train your dogs not to beg. Have a NO begging for food rule for your dog. I hate when we eat dinner at a friends house and I have an army of little dogs climbing up on me while eating. It takes some patience to train your dogs but eventually it all becomes routine. We trained the dogs with a simple “sit” and “stay” command for dinnertime. I save “no” for times I am super serious and they know to stop whatever they are doing immediately. I also have hand gestures for commands so I don’t have to say anything at all to disrupt the meal. I make a fist and then lay my fingers flat out, they know to sit and stay. If you are having a hard time training your dog, try hand gestures with the commands. Sometimes, they respond much better to the visual commands. I just have one for each basic command for sit, stay, lay down, up, and dance. Yes, I said dance. Can’t help myself.

4. Never, ever, ever feed the dogs from your plate. Even if everyone is done eating and you want them to take the last bite as a treat. I know you love them but they do not need it. It is not their food. Don’t allow them to think it is their food. You have them covered already with a quality food, Nutrish DISH.

5. We covered training your dog not to beg or eat from your plate but if you have children you know this isn’t always easy. Teach your children that the dogs have their food, their own spot to eat and that they are not allowed to throw food down to them or disrupt their mealtime. Trust me, I had a heck of a time with both my children teaching them all these things. The kids have tried it all from eating dog food to throwing chocolate at the dogs to teasing them with a slice of pizza. Luckily the dogs are trained well enough that they ignore most of the chaos. Just keep on the training and teaching. Most days don’t cause too much stress but they all have moments.

Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe

Fur babies are fed with 5 Tips to Allow Your Dogs to be Part of the Family During Dinnertime and Nutrish DISH. Now, for the humans! We made a Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe that is a great mix of sweet and spicy. Paired with iced tea and celery. A really simple, quick and affordable dinner that is fantastic with this beautiful spring weather.

Aaron and me had our marital dispute for the week was how to properly prepare chicken wings. Notice the photo above with the circle around the portion of the chicken in question. I always trim these parts off before cooking and my husband does not. He won this argument round since he was the one doing the grilling. Plus, he hasn’t won an argument in awhile so I had to give him a win. Cut that part of or not. Tastes awesome either way.

When grilling chicken wings, add the dry seasonings before cooking and then toss with all the wet ingredients after cooking. I sprinkled some garlic powder, pepper and cayenne to prep. Toss the chicken wings on the grill for 10-12 minutes each side on a medium heat. As the wings cook, prepare your sauce with honey, butter, sriracha, hot sauce and cider vinegar. When the wings come off the grill give them a toss in a large bowl with some sauce added and serve. Serve with celery and iced tea. Oh yeah, bring napkins to the table. Will need napkins.

Spicy Honey Grilled Chicken Wing Recipe

3 pounds chicken wings
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup honey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons sriracha
.5 cup hot sauce of choice
2 teaspoons cider vinegar (optional, I have made them with or without the vinegar)

Trim chicken wings... or not.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne over both sides of chicken wings.
Heat up grill on a medium to high heat.
Toss chicken wings on grill for 10-12 minutes each side. Total of 20-24 minutes cook time.
In a small bowl, add melted butter, sriracha, hot sauce, honey and cider vinegar. Mix well. Today we used Frank's hot sauce.
I like to toss the chicken wings in sauce in groups of about 6 wings. So, add 6 wings to a large bowl, drizzle some of your hot sauce mixture. Give a good toss to coat all the wings.
Serve.

Honey Ginger Chicken

Honey Ginger Chicken is a simple and slightly sweet recipe for a great weeknight meal. Chicken is a staple in my family as it is in many families. The hard part of eating so much chicken is that it gets boring! I have a lot of marinade recipes for chicken to stay away from boring meals and this would be one of those.

We recently started buying organic chicken for the family and although it is more expensive, the taste is so much better. I was really getting tired of chicken plumped up with water or chicken broth so I have made an effort to buy better quality and it really makes a big difference on taste. With marinades such as this one, I also prefer the thinly sliced chicken or if the chicken breast is large, I will filet them. This helps cook the meat more even and quicker, plus you get more flavor.

The chicken today is baked in the oven but the marinade does very well on the barbeque. With the weather finally beginning to warm up, he will being use this one the grill a whole lot.

Notice on my instructions to put a little bit of marinade to the side for later. I enjoy a drizzle of the honey ginger sauce on top after the chicken has cooked to add a little extra flavor to the chicken and the rice. Of course, you don’t have to cook rice with this. Potatoes or a bunch of vegetables is also nice. Make it a one pan meal and add some chopped broccoli onto the baking sheet the last 15 minutes of cooking. Just drizzle some olive oil and a pinch of salt to the broccoli and viola, done. You have dinner on the table in a snap.
