Last year we bought 1/2 a pig from a friend of mine at the gym whose kids raised them for 4H. When I ordered it from the butcher they asked how I wanted my ham and I just remember requesting it to be spiral sliced. I had no idea I was getting a 22 pound ham or I would have requested that they at least cut it in half. For Easter we finally had some friends over for dinner so we could share it. We barely made a dent in it. Luckily, I sent some of the meat home with them. We'll still have to find several uses for the ham. Any good recipes for someone who isn't a soup lover, anyone?

The day after Easter...I just thought they were so cute together. I love Ellie's chubby legs.

Left over ham ideas-
Ham salad sandwiches or grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Also, I haven't made these personally, but I hear that they are delicious:
