My grandfather made the best pot of coffee in the world. He could rival any barista with a few scoops of ground coffee available at every grocery store around the country. I have no idea what he did to his coffee but I remember loving every single sip (or gulp after I became a sleep-deprived mother). During the holidays my grandfather believed that Christmas Cheer should extend to his morning coffee and we would free-hand pour Baileys Irish Cream into his perfectly brewed coffee.
Making a ham in the slow cooker is the epitome of “set it and forget it” but most people still assume you spent all day slaving over a hot stove whenever you put any kind of roast on the dinner table. But as with all of my company-worthy Canned Soup Mom Recipes the simplicity of this Slow Cooker Balsamic Maple Glazed Ham Recipe will be our little secret!
Simply toss your ham into the slow cooker.
Mix up the balsamic vingear, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard.
Why slave in a hot kitchen? There is absolutely nothing wrong with breaking out the slow cooker when guests come to visit. These are my favourite guest-worthy slow cooker recipes and my top tips for using your slow cooker.
While I absolutely love the Christmas Morning Breakfast tradition, I do not love having to step away from the festivities and head to the kitchen to make a feast for breakfast, which is why I’ve perfected this completely make-ahead Christmas Morning Breakfast menu.
Scalloped potatoes are among my favourite kind of potatoes and are the best starchy side dish to ham. While I admit this side dish takes a bit more effort than your typical Canned Soup Mom recipe, I promise this is a simplified version and because these potatoes always taste better the next day you can make them the night before.
When I am "volun-told" to bring dessert for family celebrations or potlucks, this recipe is my go-to spring and summer favourite. Like many of the recipes that get tested until perfect in my kitchen, this one has been passed down from my grandmother. When I am in charge of Easter or Mother's Day brunch (the whole thing, not just dessert), it is not uncommon for me to serve this cake after my Grandma's Tater Tot Omelette Pie.
