  1. Impressive brunch and like you said - quick and easy in spite of the ingredient list. This was a nice way to use up leftover frozen spiral ham; I used extra Tabasco and the homemade deviled ham is a great recipe in itself. I had to turn up the oven temperature to get it to brown, but otherwise perfect recipe.

I live in the heart of the USA in my opinion. I have been married 16 years and this year went through empty nest syndrome. I worked part time as my child grew up, but now I am back to work full time to pay for college. Sadly, going back to work full time has decreased my opportunities to cook as much as I did in the past :{ I love Recipezaar, especially the premium membership. It is so nice to have the extras that come with that. My DH has given me the membership for several years for my birthday. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
