If you’re allergic to eggs, this post possibly isn’t for you! However, for most people, eggs are an important part of their diet.

Crockpot Ham

This crockpot ham is not only easy to prepare, but also impressive enough to serve for a big holiday dinner. Perfect for Easter!

The best part is that it frees up oven space for your favorite side dishes, such as air fryer green beans and air fryer asparagus. Notice: JavaScript is required for this content. Instead of using the glaze packet that comes with the spiral ham, I like to use a few...
