Hi {{first_name}}

Happy Monday!

New from Budget Bytes this week, Jennie is sharing her ​Honey Glazed Ham​ - a sweet caramelized centerpiece that looks like you really tried and costs $1.51 a serving for 12 people. It's the kind of recipe that makes the whole house smell incredible while you're basically just standing there brushing glaze on things. And because a ham that size means leftovers for days, we've also pulled together a roundup of ​Leftover Ham Recipes​ so nothing goes to waste. Jess put together ​15 Easy Carrot Recipes​ for anyone who keeps buying that bag of carrots and running out of ideas - silky soups, fresh salads, glazed sides, and carrot cake in every form you could possibly want. Muffins, bars, baked oatmeal, the full situation.

Carrots are cheap, dependable, and according to Jess, wildly underestimated. This roundup covers the full range — silky roasted carrot soup, Thai coconut curry carrot soup, glazed carrots, spicy pickled carrots, and an entire section dedicated to carrot cake in every form imaginable (classic, for two, muffins, bars, baked oatmeal). Whether you're trying to do something better with that bag sitting in your crisper drawer or just looking for a new side to put on repeat, Jess has 15 answers.

Cook: 1 hr 50 mins | Servings: 12 | Cost: $18.13 recipe / $1.51 serving

A fully cooked spiral-cut ham means you're really just warming it through and layering on flavor — which Jennie does with a homemade glaze of honey, brown sugar, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, and warm spices that caramelizes into something genuinely hard to stop eating. Brush, bake, brush again, done. Twelve servings for $18. And Jennie will also be the first to tell you that the leftovers are half the point.

Because a ham that feeds 12 almost always means you're eating ham for the rest of the week — and that's not a bad thing if you know what to do with it. This roundup has all the ideas you need to keep it interesting, from soups and sandwiches to casseroles and more
