I’ll be Hoppin’ around this Easter 🐰 with some @honeybaked_ham! AD

@honeybaked_ham has ham & Turkey packages that are really easy to order online & ready for pickup. We ordered the quarter ham dinner with 3 sides, perfect for our family of 4.

Everything is cooked & the sides can be warmed up in the microwave or oven. Easy & great size for us!

And whatever you do, get the mac n cheese. It’s 🙌🏼
