Calef’s Tips for Easter Ham

  1. Order soon!
  2. Keep the bone. All ham orders come with the bone. We do this for a reason, the bone is great for split pea soup. So save the bone, make some soup, and enjoy easy leftovers.
  3. Always order enough for leftovers. Ham lasts a while in the fridge and can be used so may different ways. Think grilled cheese and ham sandwiches, omelettes, hearty breakfasts, and mac & cheese with ham.

Calef’s Soups, Perfect for Fall and Cooler Weather

As the cooler weather approaches here in New England, we tend to shift our menus from seasonal summer dishes and lighter fare to soups, rich flavors, and warm homemade baked goods. The change in season also brings a change in schedules, often relying on quick and healthy meals or low and slow dinners. Our Calef’s soups and bread mixes are the perfect meal solution. Both are easy to make, have lots of great flavors and require ingredients that may just be in your fridge already. With lots of delicious soup options and the potential to tweak mixes to fit exactly what you are craving. And best of all, our mixes are made with high quality ingredients, making them a healthy choice compared to other quick meal alternatives.
