Easter Ham 3 Ways with Rachael Ray

If you have eaten at my house, then you know I am kind of a last-minute cook. I like recipes that don't take loads of prep time and they must have a short list of ingredients. That's why I love Rachael Ray's 30-minute meal segment on her show and her book 30-Minute Meals 2. Fast, fuss-free meals are a staple at my house. But what do you prepare if you have a special occasion like Easter? How much time do you have to prepare a holiday meal?

Today on her TV show, Rachael featured 3 different Easter ham recipes with varying prep times and cooking times. They each look dee-lish. Plus, you can count on Rachael to develop a recipe that both kids and adults will like--and that's no easy task.
