Anyway, I actually wrote this menu plan on Friday as I was prepping for a trip to various grocery stores. The flour sales at every grocery store in town are making me want to bake, but it's shaping up to be a very busy week, so I'm thinking that probably won't happen much this week.
Many of my recipe links this week are from other blogs and sites. The internet is a wonderful source for delicious new recipes. I hope you'll try out some of these. This week I'll be researching ham recipes. I have a 10 pound bone-in ham in my freezer which I want to cook for Easter, but absolutely no idea how to cook the thing! Seriously, if you've got a good ham recipe, please leave a recipe or link in the comments.
Without futher ado, here's our plan for the week...
Sunday
B - Quick favorites (Pop-tarts, grits, toast)
D - Leftover Buffet (we cleaned out 6 different containers tonight!)
Monday
D - Chicken Fajitas
Tuesday
B - Chocolate Chip Muffins (I'd give you a link, but I'm not fond of the particular recipe I used)
D - Hamburgers, Asian Spinach, corn, cucumber slices
Wednesday
B - Waffles
D - Crockpot Sweet Vidalia Onion Chicken, brown rice, Green beans, corn
Thursday
B - Egg in a Hole, Smoothies
D - Spaghetti (Hubby's cooking)
Friday
B - Cereal
D - Leftover buffet
Saturday
B - TBD
D - Chicken Piccatta over linguine noodles, other veggies TBD

Denise has a brown sugar rub that she always uses on her hams...I think there is honey in it too. I'm sure she'll share.
When I buy a big ham like that, I just bake it plain and cut it up for quiche and other recipes. You could also try Southern Plate and Tasty Kitchen, they are reliable sources for good recipes ;)
Here is what I do a whole ham. I brush it with a honey glaze. Bake at 200° for 6-7 hours or put in your crockpot on low in the morning and it will be ready to serve at dinnertime. The honey glaze consists of 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup honey and 1 cup light brown sugar.
Also I noticed that you are not particularly fond of your chocolate chip muffin recipe. Here is a couple of yummy ones at my house!

HTH with your plans for the week. :)
The rest of your menu sounds yummy! :)
I like to do it in the crockpot too, it turns out so juicy and delish. I save the bone to make ham broth for split pea or bean soup too :)
We use this recipe for our hams, usually in the crockpot.
