Honey Glazed Ham

1 boneless fully cooked ham (3 to 4 lbs)
1/2 cup water
1 cup honey
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground mustard

Score the ham making diamond shapes 1/2 in deep. Place on a rack in a well greased foil-lined roasting pan. Add water to pan. In a small bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, cloves, and mustard; pour over ham.

okay, so that is the real recipe but this is what I did...

bought a 2 lb pre-sliced ham, put it in a glass bread pan and kind of spread it all out to fit the whole pan. I mixed everything...water and all and poured it over the ham and cooked it that way.

mmmmmm....delish!

VT's Stuffed Shells

Jeff's family goes craZy over this dish. So easy and so good for you!! I am always shocked that he is willing to have this for a meal because it has no meat but he loves it and will even ask that I make it.

7 oz small pasta shells (I always do about 10 oz and you really could do a whole pound but then you will need a pan that is bigger than a 9x13)
large carton of large curd cottage cheese
12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chopped parsley
1/2 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp pepper
2 lb jar spaghetti sauce

Cook shells according to package, combine rest of ingredients except for the spaghetti sauce, when shells are finished cooking add to mixture.
Place a small amount of sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 pan (enough to coat the bottom) and add the rest into the mixture.
Bake at 350* for 35 minutes
