Easy Baked Ham

Glazed ham

The days are no longer getting shorter, but the weather is so dreary. Every time I look out the window I think of the song, Long December by the Counting Crows. By the end of the day (it seems like it starts getting dark at 4:00), I want a quick easy dinner. One of the easiest is baked ham steak. I used to fry them but it dried them out too much. The best side for this is mac n cheese. If you have any leftovers you can mix the  mac n cheese and ham and serve them the next day. This also good with any kind of potatoes- scalloped, tater tots, baked, or hash browns.
