The Main Event Has Arrived — And It’s Wearing Pineapple Juice The easiest ham recipe for a crowd is the one I’ve been making for years, and it has never once let me down.

Dump It In the Crockpot and Thank Me Later Every Thursday night, our house fills up. Our college girls come home — and they bring friends.
