I always buy a whole ham. After you can cut into lots of portions for other meals. the bone can be used for a soup. Ham is great to have as just the “meat” of a hot meal, as the meat in a salad, for meat in a sandwich… smaller pieces can be used for casseroles/ scallops potatoes/etc. As long as you portion it out and freeze it, it can last a VERY long time. You don’t need a ton of ham in a bean soup, omelette, or cold pasta salad but it can lots of flavor.
My preference is a spiral ham as it’s so much easier to portion out.
I have gotten 15 portions for a family of 4 out of a ham.
( * Hams/turkeys will go on sale after holidays… it’s a great way to bulk up your freezer. )
Great tips 👍
My Walmart has precooked pre-seasoned spiral ham 2 lbs for $5. All you have to do is warm it up. It’s enough to feed 4 people. I’m going to do that this year for one of our gatherings. As always, a beautiful meal! Ty
Kroger’s has spiral cut ham for .89 lb. Ham avg cost is $8-10 a ham Tuesday last day.
Thank you 😁
That's a great deal. The best deal our Walmart has is $1.88 per pound but it's a larger portion size that costs $18.80. Most of the Easter sales are happening this week though.
great deal 👍
What will u do for sides?

Happy Easter Michelle! He has risen ✝️
Thank you so much 😁 Happy Easter 🙏
Awesome. Such a help to so many looking to create a special meal. Bless you and all.
Everything looks wonderful! I think the blueberry sauce would have been nice to try on the cake.
I think your on to something with that idea 👍 sounds delicious 😋
At first that's what I thought she was doing, too.
What a wonderfully simple but delightful menu. You definitely accomplished what you set out to do.
A blessed Easter celebration for you this coming Sunday.
HE IS RISEN!
HE is risen INDEED!
Thank you so much 😁 Glad you like my menu. Happy Easter to you too 😊
The effort you put in to make everything nice for your family on such a small budget is admirable and aspirational. I don't have children but if I did this is what I imagine I'd like to give them.
awe...thank you so much 🥰 that's a beautiful thing to say!
I laughed out loud when you speculated on paying for golf time and then just spending the whole time running around in a golf cart. 😂 That sounds like a great idea !
Haha! Sounds fun right? 😂
I’m saving my budget by just going to my Aunt’s house for Easter. I’m just going to make bunny cupcakes to help with the meal 🥰
Love that strategy. 👍
The meal and presentation at the end looked so beautiful as always! You have a real talent for making it all come together in such a pleasant way.
Thank you so much 🤗
What a beautiful meal! Loved all your choices. Although you gave yourself a small budget, there was nothing ‘cheap’ about this meal. Festive, and I’ll bet very tasty. I so appreciate that you consistently demonstrate that it is possible to live graciously and not spend a fortune. Wishing you and your family a wonderful and happy holiday!❤️
awe... thanks so much Susan 😁 I appreciate the complement. Happy Easter to you and your family too 🥰
@@ArdentMichelle What lovely praise that is!
Wow, what a beautiful Easter meal you made! The floral centerpiece, candles, napkins, plating of the meals, etc. were elegant and festive. You nailed this budget challenge, Michelle. 👏 Happy Easter to you & your family! And Happy Easter to all your viewers too!
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm so glad you like this video. Happy Easter to you too 😁
Such a lovely Easter dinner. Your tablescape feels like Spring. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Hi Pat 😁 Thank you so much! 😁 Same to you!
🌱🌷🐇🌱 Hi, Michelle! I love this video! Your holiday ones are my favorite. I loved the beginning of it.🎚️Everything from the decor to the meal was perfect. Loved the rabbit at the end, too!🐰Your menu is what I make every Easter. Ham, mashed potatoes, a vegetable and dessert. Happy Easter to you and your family! God Bless. 🌱🐇🌷🌱
Thanks so much Debbie 😁 Happy Easter! 🐇🌺
That looked absolutely delicious, and your table looked so pretty too. Don’t know what I enjoyed more, the yummy recipes, or finding out about your secret passion for golf carts. 😂😂😂
😂 Then I'm glad I shared that little tidbit with you 😂😂 and thanks so much for the complement on my video. I'm glad you like this video. Thanks for letting me know 🥰
I LOVE the very beginning of this video 🥰😍 Happy Resurrection Day everyone! He is Risen! 🥳🤩🎉💃🕺
amen sister 🙏
@@ArdentMichelle ♥️♥️💕💕
Another winner! I have bad insomnia, so I’m thinking of making a playlist of your videos and just listen to them as I’m trying to go to sleep because your voice and your background music are so soothing
Thank you 😁 I fully support this plan. 😂 Glad you find my videos relaxing.
You may wake up hungry😂
@@singerjo5791 😂 that's funny!
My family has been making a similar dessert since I was about 5 which is for 60 years! We made it smaller and used pie filling and a small jiffy box mix and about 5 to 6 T of butter on top. It was always good and super special back then! I think this is all great ideas for people who are limited as so many are today!
Hello 😁 Thanks so much. I'm glad you like my Easter video. I'm assuming that is with the Jiffy yellow cake mix? I would like to try that - maybe with cherry pie filling. Thanks for sharing this. I'm going to save this to try.
My family does a version of this. Combine one cake box mix with 1/2 cup oil and 3 eggs. Fold in one can of pie filling. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
We love spice cake with apple pie filling, lemon cake with blueberry pie filling, and vanilla cake with cherry pie filling.
I'm making a bunch of things i have on hand . ....corn beef and veggies,pasta and meatballs.Breakfast:french toast,sausage,egg scramble,coffee.Angel food cake,warmed frozen berries,spray whip cream....and my family is the main attraction!Happy Easter!Happy Spring!🐇🐣🌷☔💧
That sounds like a nice meal and I agree, its all about family 😁 Happy Easter!
You are really inspiring. I don't do these kinds of elaborate setups...but honestly yours only looks elaboate and is actually pretty simple. I'm usually a "fix your plate in the kitchen and sit at thebplain table" kinda gal lol...but I might just try something nice soon.
Hello 😁 My family enjoys it and I have fun with it, but you're right it was actually very simple.
Michelle, everything looked so delicious and so beautifully presented. The way you tend to the details of each dish is clearly your "love language" to your family. Wishing you and your beloveds a very blessed and Happy Easter. 🙏
Hi Jean 😁 Thank you so much for the nice complement. I'm glad you like this video. You nailed my love language. 😂 Happy Easter friend. 🙏
oh yeah. I definitely understand the golf cart.
One of my older co-workers loves golf, when I went with him for the first time it began to rain really hard with quite a lot of find so he decided that we should go back.
I got to drive the thing and floored it (well as much as you can floor that little thing) , must have been a sight. A 27 year old full-tilt charging over any puddles in the way with a smile ear to ear.
Each time I get invited I am the designated driver since.
awe.....that sounds like SO MUCH FUN. 😁
My son got a Turkey at Thanksgiving and we already had one. Needless to say, it’s going to be part of our Easter dinner.
Nice 👍 You can check that off your list. Sure makes planning dinner easy!
My mom used to make an inexpensive fridge tart when we were kids. Graham cracker and butter crust, whipped can on ideal milk mixed with a packet of flavoured jello (usually raspberry). Whip the ideal milk and jello power for about 7min, poured over biscuit crust and let set in the fridge until firm. Best made the night before.
Hello 😁 I've never heard of ideal milk. Is that the same as heavy cream?
@@ArdentMichelle it's evaporated milk 😅 Sorry, it's our brand name here in South Africa
@@mommajo no worries 😁 I would have caught on sooner but I didn't realize you could whip evaporated milk. 😂 This is good to know! 😂
I was so impressed by both the meal and the centerpiece! Well done! You've given some great ideas for an easy-to-put together and festive holiday meal. Happy Easter!
Thanks Gail 😁 Glad you like this video. Happy Easter 😊
You can sometimes bend the stems on those tulips, to shorten them. Their coloring is beautiful!
The decor is elegant..I love it!! The food looked so appetizing..You're talented in the way you decorate & prepare your food, while always remaining budget savvy! Have a wonderful Easter! Your son did a great job too, in filming.
Thank you so much 🤗 Happy Easter!
Thank you for posting this. I love the extra cooking tips you give that make the videos worth watching, even for a vegan. I like the way you decorate your table for the holidays as well!
Thank you. 😁 Glad you enjoyed my Easter video!
Have a couple of nice days with your family, dear Michelle! Many greetings from the Netherlands, Enny.
Hi Enny 😁 Thank you so much. Yay! Thanks for popping in and saying hi. I'm excited to have a viewer from the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 I think you are the first that I've spoken to. 🎉🥳 Happy Easter! 😊
Your family is blessed to have you! How much love went into this holiday celebration.
You are so kind. 😊 Thank you so much!
I am always happy when you post a video! I never concentrated on presentation and you have an eye for it. So pretty! ( and inspiring)
I know it’s basic but sometimes I like to make a yellow cake and just add whip cream and berries on top . Aldi even carries a coconut whip cream in the can.
I live alone now so I don’t have to buy a ham. I just make lentil loaf ( which is so good leftover in a sandwich just like traditional meat loaf). Have a wonderful day!😀☀️
I forgot to add your nails always look gorgeous!
Hi Stace 😁 Thank you so much 🥰 ALDI was sold out of that coconut whipped cream. I got a shot of it, but it was edited out because I was trying to make this video shorter. I think that would have been great with the cake. I'm glad you mentioned regular yellow cake with the whip cream and berries. That would have been visually stunning AND delicious!
The lentil loaf sounds more to my liking. I've never made one. Just googled and found some recipes- just added to my bucket list. Thanks for the idea.
Have a great rest of your weekend 😁
That sounds great! Do you have a favorite lentil loaf rececipe?
@O Soniye I use Veganisita lentil loaf recipe. I modify all recipes ( sometimes to my detriment) lentil loaf is delicious but can be crumbly. I’m a bit careful with it and wait to slice it until it cools. I’ve thought about using the ingredients and putting in muffin tin to have individual servings.
@@stacel1972 Muffin tins!! That's a great idea!
You have a very lucky family! This meal is wonderful.
Thank you so much 🤗
Haven't driven a gold cart in over ten years, before I had my license, but I can confirm that it is super fun.
Haven't finished the video yet, but I wanted to say Happy and Blessed Easter! ❤️❤️
Yay! I need to find a way to drive one soon. 😂 Happy Easter 🥰
Michelle you never disappoint. Elegant and creative as always. Your decorations are also superb. WELL DONE!
Thanks Mary 😁
Glory to God, He has risen!✝️✝️✝️
Amen sister 🙏
Our local Meijer has spiral hams with a glaze packet for 89 cents a lb this week. You would have leftover ham for your budget the following week.
That's a great deal and good point 👍
Your Easter meal looks wonderful ❤
Thank you 🥰
That is a beautiful meal. Everything looked delicious, too. Seeing you fry the ham steaks made me hungry for Red Eye gravy. Don't know how it got it's name, but it's your basic pan gravy using the pan after ham steaks but you use coffee instead of milk. Delicious with biscuits. Thank you for the wonderful ideas. Happy Easter to you and yours.
Thank you so much 😁 I've heard of that gravy but haven't made it yet. It sounds so interesting. I need to try that. Happy Easter to you too! 🥰
Hi, thank you for what you do. I appreciate your frugal ideas. I feel like I always learn something from your videos.. your holiday videos bring me extra joy and always remind me the importance taking the time to do decorate and create a fabulous dining experience. Happy Easter.
Hi Dana 😁 Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment. Decorating really does help to set the festive mood. It's nice to be appreciated. 🥰 Thank you for letting me know and Happy Easter! 😁
Awesome ❤😊❤thank you
You're welcome 😊 Happy Easter
I loved you appetizer and blueberry sauce as options.
Wow ! 💖 BEAUTIFUL ! ! ! 💖 So creative ! Gorgeous centerpiece ! 💖
Yay! Thank you! 😁
Happy forthcoming Easter to you my dear friend.
I know I once wrote this before. Buy your dollar tree stores that you shop at are so pristine and so organized.
I have been to many when I was in Florida that looked like it was in a hurricane or WW3. They only have one staff at 😮the cash register checking people out and there is not one worker in sight on the floor if you need to ask a question. In this case I leave. I don’t even bother staying to shop. How lucky you are to have such a beautiful store to shop in.
Your friend from the north 🇨🇦 🍁.
Hi friend 😁 Yes I love our stores here. I'm very blessed to have them. Plus I have so many to go to. I should get out and explore more of them. There is a Dollar General store fairly close that I want to check out. Happy Easter to you and your family Helen😊 I hope you have a lovely holiday!
@@ArdentMichelle
Many thanks Michelle. But I celebrate Passover. 😊
Its fine. It always overlaps with your Easter. Both celebrations are about the rejoicing of spring , prayers and biblical blessings and of course symbolic food.
@@helenshack2838 I'm very familiar with Passover. Then may you have a happy and blessed Passover. 😊🌺🌸
Very classy A.M., a meal fit for a King! Nice work with that centerpiece too. 👍🏻
Thank you so much 😁 Glad you like my Easter video!
That date syrup has one ingredient: dates! We use it for many things- same for date sugar(only ingredient is dates!). My procrastination paid off at Aldi yesterday… I went to grab a ham steak for my sometimes meat eating adult kids but found that the Easter hams were on clearance. I got a $19 ham for $7! They will have lots of leftovers to take home.
Thanks for letting us know about the date syrup!
GREAT advice about the hams. 👍
That centerpiece ❤❤❤😊😊
Glad you like it 😁
Lovely Easter Dinner - thx for the great ideas
You are so welcome! 😁 Glad you like my video!
Everything looked beautiful. Great job!! Thank you so much for giving inspiration to those who may not be as fortunate as some.
Yay! 😁 I'm so glad you like my Easter video, and you're welcome! It is my pleasure 🥰 Thank you for watching my videos!
Beautiful Easter dinner! You are so funny - I have always wanted to drive a golf cart as well, ever since I was a little girl. Thank you for another soothing and inspirational video. I look forward to your uploads very much!
Thank you so much 🤗 Regarding golf carts- they look so fun right? Glad you can relate and laugh with me.
I'm so happy you enjoy my content! Yay 😁 Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Everything looked delicious and you do such a lovely job with your platings and table setting
Thanks Carolyn 😁 Glad you like this video.
Love your table decor!
Thank you!! 😊
Great inspirational video
Glad you enjoyed it 😁 Thanks for letting me know🥰
I've made this dessert with no butter or oil...I used a can of clear soda instead like Sprite or 7up. It was delicious. Thanks for your great ideas.
Your welcome 😁 Thanks for sharing!
Definitely going to make that dip for an appetizer! Yum yum.
Hope you like it. 😁
Simply beautiful. Happy Easter
Thank you! You too! 😁
It’s so funny Michelle! When you brought out the second centerpiece I was literally yelling “ add the tulips to that centerpiece! Bend the stems! “ and then you did. Great video.. Dump cakes are my go to dessert, but you need more fruit….Two large cans of peaches with a cake mix and a stick of butter makes the most perfect peach cobbler, But I’ve also used a whole different kinds of canned fruit from the dollar tree to make the cakes and they almost always turn out delicious especially pineapple and mango.. I really think it needs the butter, but I just use one stick.
Hi Wendie 😁 Yay! I'm glad we have the same taste in decor. 😂 I had to add in an additional square of the green foam so that the other floral picks would gain some height- since I was able to create it without cutting my tulips this was a win for me.
I feel like the ratio of cake to fruit with using 2 large cans of peaches would be perfect. Thanks for sharing this info. 👩🍳 Are you draining the peaches? I'm going to try this again using your recipe. Such an easy way to make cobbler.
@@ArdentMichelle I drain one of the two cans so it’s still pretty juicy which makes some of the parts of the topping more Cakey than others… and I can of crushed pineapple is really good in there too but I grew up with a mother that believe that everything was good with a can of crushed pineapple in it I think pineapple was such a treat when she was little and growing up with nothing, I often joke that canned pineapple was the basis of my mom’s cuisine, So it’s very nostalgic for me… She put canned pineapple and sweet potatoes she put canned pineapple and sweet-and-sour meatballs she serve pineapple and cottage cheese as a salad ..she was all about the pineapple, So I have made the dump cake with one large can of pineapple chunks and one large can of crushed pineapple and added a little coconut on the top and man it was delicious
@@wendoxia sounds yummy!
Very nice. Happy Easter!
Thanks Francine 😁 Happy Easter to you to friend!
Absolutely lovely Easter dinner. Wonderful job! Great ideas as usual.
Hi Amelia 😁 Glad you like my Easter video!

Love this! My goodness your Dollar Tree is so clean and neat!!! The hams were expensive-so good job on finding the ham steak! Looks great Michelle! Thank you as always for giving us options.
Hi Penny 😁 Yes I feel so blessed to have great Dollar Trees to shop at. You're welcome. Glad you like my video.
I love everything you do!!! Very creative
Thank you so much 😁
Thanks for the beautiful video Michelle!
You're welcome 😁 Glad you like this one! Thanks for letting me know 🥰
To glaze my ham, I combine brown sugar, syrup, and apricot preserves. Heat through, top the ham, then place under the broiler.
oh nice! 👍 That does sound good with the apricot preserves! Yum 😋 Thanks for sharing.
@@ArdentMichelle you bet!
I loved this! You are so talented. Happy Easter to you and your family!
Thank you Sheila 😁 That's so nice of you to say. Happy Easter to you too!
You scared me for a second when you pulled out that can of chipotles while you were making the cake!! 😂
😂 You just never know what I'm going to try next 😂
Always so elegant, stylish and delicious on a budget. Well done 👏
Yay! 😁 So glad you like this Easter video. Thanks for letting me know
@ArdentMichelle the dessert would be nice in a loaf pan. Cooked, cooled, sliced & add sugar glaze (sugar/water & a bit of vanilla) if you have too much cake mix....make muffins for guest to take home.
@@twilightshealy4152 great ideas 👍I think the presentation of that would be nice.
😍 thank you for your compassion. I really enjoy your videos.

Thanks Gloria 😁
Loved every single thing! Your centerpiece was gorgeous
Thanks so much! 😊
That looked delicious and makes me excited for Easter!!
Thanks Victoria 😁 Happy Easter!
Another dessert option sprite plus cake mix baked berries and whipped cream
We use cherry pie filling and pineapple for our dump cake. It's tasty but not the prettiest. Whip cream does make it better.
That dip sounds so good
Ty
I always enjoy your videos
Then
Hi Tina 😁 I love cherry pie filling. Yum. 😋 Glad you like this video!
Wonderful!!!!
Glad you like it! 😁
Budget friendly desserts are chocolate pie from 2 boxes of pudding milk and graham cracker crust shell. Remember to take half a cup of milk out the recipe to make a stiffer pie when cold. Also Watergate salad is 2 cans.pineapple, 2 boxes sugar free pistachio pudding, 1 sugar free whipped cream and as amnay marshmallows as you like. Stir the juice from both cans of pineapple into pudding mix, toss the fruit, fold in whipped cream and then marshmallows. Chill 3 hrs.
Thanks for sharing these. 😁
I love how you opened your video ! Very nice job on the meal.
Thanks 😁 Glad you like my video!
Love your centerpiece arrangements and the cake came out great. I made a blueberrie one recently and it was delicious. You give me some good ideas, have a bless Easter.

Looks beautiful ❤️ great job 👏
Thank you! 😊
I appreciate the fact you began your video with a reference to what Easter really is ...Jesus Arose! I love all your videos ..and especially like your recent low carb videos. I am a fan! I wait each week for your new ones! Thank you !
Hi Christy 😁 Thanks so much. I'm glad you like this video and I'll have more low carb recipes to come. I sometimes insert those in the regular videos too. Have a great rest of your week and Happy Easter!
Amazing meal.
Yay! I'm so glad you like my meal. 😁 Thank you so much for letting me know 🥰
Great video! Loved your decor and thrifty tips. Your attention to detail makes for a lovely presentation without breaking the budget. I always use the olive brine to add to recipes like your appetizer. Doing so means big olive flavor without spending more. I wonder what your toaster oven dried tomatoes would be like in the appetizer.?? Also wondering if using the individual dessert cups would have been more to your liking in hindsight. Well....enough from me. Happy Easter!
Thanks Sara 😁 You have lots of great ideas this evening. I've never thought of using the olive brine. LOVE this! and you're right, the roasted tomatoes would have been delicious here. The extra sweetness of the tomato would have balanced out the saltiness of the feta and olives better. Thanks for sharing your great ideas. Happy Easter 😁
Michelle, everything looks delicious! And I cannot believe your budget! Amazing. I make my ham steaks like that too. My grandma used to make it that way. I learned so much from her. Thank you for another great video! Have a happy Easter. He IS RISEN!🌺🌹✝✝✝
Thanks Vinny 😁 Happy Easter ✝️
Hello, AM. I always enjoy your budget holiday meals, but this one really takes the cake (no pun intended)! Your intro was beautiful! I hope you and your family also have a blessed Easter. (P.S. Walmart sells Betty Crocker instant potatoes - in a pouch - for $1.08. We like the creamy butter variety. They are very simple to prepare, taste delicious, and easily feed four people.)
awe thanks Linda 😁 I'm so glad you like my Easter video. Thanks for the tip about the Betty Crocker instant potatoes. That could save some money right there. Happy Easter to you and your family too! 🥰
Hi Michelle, I wanted to add that I have IBS, therefore I have to live with a low FODMAP diet. The appetizer you served looks delicious and appears can easily be served low FODMAP. I am able to eat sourdough bread, and all of the other ingredients are considered low FODMAP..
Hi Dana 😁 Understood. I've been reading a bit about that diet. I have lots of viewers with food intolerances so I'm always trying to make a variety so there are choices for everyone. I'm so glad you can alter the cheese dip to suit your dietary needs.
I've been thinking that the congee that I make would be great as a staple for those with IBS. Plus it can be customized in so many ways for variety.
@@ArdentMichelle, that would be wonderful I don't know anything about it. I feel like I'm struggle 4balance in that area
I got a big butt portion Smithfield ham for free with points. I made scalloped potatoes, roasted asparagus and Bisquik biscuits. Boiled 6 eggs for a dozen deviled eggs. My big splurge was a homemade cheesecake for dessert, but even that wasn’t too expensive.
Since the ham was free and I already had Bisquik I think I spent under $20 and fed 10 people.
Very nice 👍 I love making cheesecake for dessert. That's a big hit in my family and I agree, very affordable. That sounds like such a lovely meal that you planned. Thanks for sharing this with me 🥰
My dear you are a genius!
Thank you 😁 and thanks for watching my video!
I can't believe the price of groceries lately, but especially potatoes!! I used to be able to get a 3 lb bag at the 99 Cents Only Store for $2, now Walmart Neighborhood Market is selling a bag of potatoes for $4.79. I get stunned now when I go to the grocery store. I've been living off bananas and PB&J sandwiches for a while now. My union's monthly food bank has become a necessity.
Yeah the prices are so high 😞
I'm so sorry this is a struggle for your right now....but glad you have the food bank.
Another idea is to serve something other than ham like chicken or pork and you wait after Easter to buy ham on a discount 🤷♀️ My family always do that
great advice 👍
Well done!
Thanks so much Mary 🥰
I have done the dump cake where you mix the cake mix with 2 little apple sauce cups and it comes out soooo good. And you pour it over the fruit. Its yummy
I bet that's good 👍
Do you mean you use apple sauce in lieu of butter?
@@yvonnepalmquist8676 so i didnt have jar apple sauce. I had the little snack cups. I used two to mix into the cake mix and then pour onto the berries. So good
I don't recommend substituting oil for the butter in dump cake unless it's to satisfy dietary restrictions. The milk solids are important for producing that crumb crust on top of the cake.
Thanks for sharing this info 👍
Awesome job Michelle!!! 🤩🥳 And quick! 👍🏻 My Kroger has $5 & $6 hams right now. I remember your chicken dish from Thanksgiving! It’s still on my to-do list! ♥️💕🥰😍
Thanks Cathie 😁 You inspired this video so I'm glad you like it. That's a great deal on hams. I think you'll be happy when you try that chicken. My family loved it and still talk about it 😂

We do not have cold food sections in either our Walmart or our Dollar tree. We do however have an Aldi, and I currently do the majority of my food shopping there.
