My Aunt Dee is known for making a ham for most holidays—Christmas, Easter, you name it (besides Thanksgiving, of course!). She loves to take advantage of the points from her local supermarket to get a free spiral-cut ham. This type of ham is great because it is fully cooked and presliced, making it super convenient. Naturally, it makes for great sandwiches the day after, as well. — Melissa Celli
