Enjoy an Easter Ham Like No Other from #HoneyBaked Ham! | 20 Winners Will Each Receive $50 Gift Card!

A traditional Easter dinner wouldn't be traditional without a ham on the table. Cooking ham can take time and effort. Instead of wasting time faffing around in the kitchen cooking, why not serve HoneyBaked Ham and spend more time with your guests?
Recently, I was given the opportunity to go shopping for an Easter celebration with the gift card that I received from HoneyBaked, and prepare an early Easter Dinner for my family. I thought I use the gift card pretty wisely at one of their branches here in San Antonio. So I purchased a quarter bone-in ham, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, jam, white bread and carrot cake. Yes, this store serve some pretty good selection of hand made side dishes and dessert to complete the meal. The ham tastes so good! I just added some pineapple and cherries on top, and baked it for a few minutes. A HoneyBaked ham is without question the most tender and juicy, best tasting ham you can serve. It's smoked to perfection, spiral-sliced for easy serving and smothered with scrumptious honey sweet and crunchy glaze. Not only does the spiral slicing make it easier to serve, but each slice is pretty on the plate.
The Sweet Potatoes Soufflé is delicately blended and encrusted with a delicious streusel topping. So sweet and yummy!
The Green Bean Casserole is creamy and delicious! The flavor is just amazing, I really can't believe it's frozen food. Tender green beans tossed with red bell peppers, then drizzled with a delicate cream sauce and topped with crispy fried onions.
If you want to try the best carrot cake, you should get the HoneyBaked Carrot Cake! It's to die for. Forget the diet. This cake is super moist and sinfully delicious! It's packed with freshly shredded carrots, crunchy walnuts and topped with luscious cream cheese frosting.
No time to cook for Easter Dinner? HoneyBaked makes your holiday dinner easy and stress free. They have everything you will need to make your holiday dinner a success without the hassle of doing all the work. Aside from ham, they also have pork, beef, turkey roasts, ribs, shredded beef and pork in barbecue sauce for sandwiches, deli sides, desserts, whole turkeys, turkey breasts, thin sliced honey bacon, and much more. 
The moist carrot cake was a great way to finish off the meal. Oh, boy it was definitely a sumptuous dinner experience! Thanks HoneyBaked for sponsoring.

Long Wind Turbine Wing

I've never seen a wind turbine transported before. Boy, I didn't realize how long they are. I was shocked when I saw one...lol!
 I'll be frightened if I'm driving behind, and that humongous thing will fall. Yay, that would not be a good idea.
Glad I'm driving the opposite direction.

Girls Engineering Day

We received a letter a few weeks ago from our daughter's school. It's actually a "congratulation" letter from her art teacher. Among 24 students in her class she and her friend were chosen to go on a trip to University of Texas - Austin for the Girls in Engineering Day. 
What a lucky girl! Hubby didn't hesitate to send her off. I was kind of hesitant and concern to send her because she's never been on a long day trip without us. I thought about it for a night and I figured that it would be a good opportunity for her to learn and be independent. 
I love their Longhorn Shirts. Toyota was kind enough to sponsor the whole trip. We got our money back. Thanks TOYOTA!
Akesha and her classmate, Mercedes.
It's sad to see my preemie grow up so quickly....whoaah! Time goes by so fast.
