Baked Sweet Potatoes
by Jes Mostek
serves: 4
  A sweet and vitamin-packed side-dish, and an unexpected way to eat a sweet potato.
Ingredients:
  4   whole raw sweet potatoes
  4 T.   butter, softened
  4 T.   brown sugar
  1 tsp.   cinnamon, divided
Directions:
  Pierce the skin of the sweet potatoes in several places, place on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on high for 5-10 minutes (times vary based on the microwave, as well as the size and number of the sweet potatoes).

After the sweet potatoes are tender, cut a slit in each and fill with a pat of butter, a spoonful of brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
Glazed Ham Steaks
by Jes Mostek
serves: 4
 
Ingredients:
  4   Ham Steaks
  1/4 c.   water
  1/2 c.   apricot jam
  1 1/2 tsp.   dijon mustard
  1/4 tsp.   ground cloves
Directions:
  Snip fat from ham steaks to prevent curling. Place ham steaks in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan, over medium heat. Heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together water, jam, mustard, and cloves. Pour glaze over ham steaks in pan and flip all steaks a few times to make sure both sides of steaks are well-coated with glaze. Heat until glaze bubbles and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. You may wish to add additional water if you prefer a thin glaze.

Serve immediately (ham cools very quickly).
