Baked Ham has always been on the holiday menu in my home. Now that I am cooking for one, I still make a baked ham for myself. The solution is either having lots of ham for delicious ham meals or buy a smaller ham. I buy a smaller ham and still have ham leftovers.
The following is a list of videos and links to ham related content:

Buttermilk Biscuit Ham Pot Pie

"This pot pie is probably the coziest way to rework leftovers. The addition of fresh fennel, tarragon and homemade biscuits really takes this dish to the next level." Comment from Taste of Home
There is something about a pot pie topped with biscuits that I love so much. Those biscuits look delicious and so does the whole pot pie. The biscuit recipe is worth looking into! Looks like a winner to me.

Quick and Easy Pizza Dough & Gina's Garlic Bread
Recipe source: The Recipe Rebel
"You’ll need instant yeast, all-purpose flour, sugar, spices, and oil, as well as a large mixing bowl. No need for a stand mixer!" Comment from The Recipe Rebel
It is easier than you think. I have been making bread from scratch since I was a teenager learning from my nana. Just be organized and set aside some time to get it down. Treat it like fun because it can be. The results are delicious.
My favorite is my nana's garlic bread that was made like a thick pizza dough drizzled with olive oil and sliced garlic spread throughout the dough topped with parmesan and mozzarella cheese. That is it except to bake it.

The sweet flavor of root beer is uniquely delicious. The aroma of root beer takes me back to my childhood days when I could not get enough, especially if it included vanilla ice cream. It is amazing what memories the awesome aromas of food and drinks bring out in us.

This cheesecake looks absolutely delicious! As much as I love cheesecake, I have never had chocolate cheesecake. Since I found the chocolate chip cheesecake many decades ago, that is all I would make. I need to expand my horizons.
