Easy Ham Steaks
Mad, MAD, MAD props to Kasey Colvin for this recipe! I’ve never made ham steaks before but this recipe is going into my regular rotation– preparation took less than 10 minutes, cook time about an hour and my ENTIRE family loved it. Including Aubrey, aka The World’s Whiniest Eater. She actually said, “Can we eat this every night?”
You need center cut ham steaks (Kasey uses Cook’s brand, and I got Smithfield’s- nobody is paying me to say that but if you’d like to, lemme know and I’ll send you a mailing address.) I made three for my family of five, two would have been enough but I wanted leftovers for ham sandwiches and as Kasey suggested, biscuits with ham for breakfast. So three were perfect, and at $3 a pop, a great deal!
You simply place the steaks in a casserole dish and sprinkle with brown sugar and dry mustard on both sides. Add milk to the pan until it reaches the top edge of the ham. Bake at 350 for an hour, then drain the juices.
I have no words…NO WORDS for how good this was. I had to throw all the leftovers in the fridge to keep my husband from eating all of it and I’m kind of wishing I didn’t know it was in there waiting to be eaten…
Emma Said: I’ve Got Moves
Random convo on the way home from the grocery store (where I’m pretty sure I saw Fantasia Barrino.)
Emma: I’ve got wots of moves Momma.
Me: You do?
Emma: Yep, I’ll show you when we get home. I’ve got wots of kah-wat-ee moves but I don’t know how to beat a mummy….you know, they have special pah-wahs….
I know how to beat a MOMMY, toss a chocolate bar into a padded cell and lock the door after she dive rolls into the room.
Emma Said: Butter My Buns
Last weekend my mother saw a t-shirt that read, “Butter my buns and call me a biscuit.” She read it to Aubrey and they laughed about it. Since then, Aubrey has tried a million times to use it appropriately in conversation but she’s not really sure how.
It’s very similar to trying to teach her about proper “Jinx, buy me a Coke!” etiquette, which Aubrey thinks means you agree with someone. It’s her version of “Amen!” “Me too!” “I second that!” “Right on, Sister!” Aubrey also likes to yell, “Jinx, buy me a Coke!” while everyone is singing in the car… which is just wrong.
Example:
Me: Wow this pizza is really good!
Aubrey: JINX BUY ME A COKE!
Me: *Shakes head*
At any rate, Emma just turned around, looked at me and yelled, “Butter my buns and call me a wiener!”
Me: It’s biscuit.
Emma: What?
Me: It’s butter my buns and call me a BISCUIT!
Emma: Oh…
