I am cooking my first Christmas dinner for 4 adults and 1 toddler. What goes good with honey ham?
Since the group is so small I didn’t want to cook a lot of dishes, but still want a good variety and be relatively simple since the toddler is mine and will want some mommy time.

Some mashed potatoes and a green bean casserole would be good and is quick and simple to make. We always have applesauce with ham too, no cooking required!

Mashed potatoes or potato salad, baked beans, green bean casserole, corn are a few easy sides that come to mind.

try some good sweet potatoes and for dessert a yummy yule log, just take a packaged giant swiss cake roll from the bakery, whipped cream, and some cinnamon for some extra flavor just wipe the whipped cream on the log and shake some cinnamon on their and you’re good to go!

Mashed potatoes and pickles like onions or gherkins, sounds odd but is delicious with ham and mash.
Or roasted potatoes, served with broccoli and cauliflower with grated cheese over the top, pop that under the grill til the cheese melts and bubbles.

I would make scalloped potatoes, a nice salad and some dinner rolls. The potatoes or a potato side dish would be simple enough. A salad is also quick. And as far as the rolls go you could just buy those from a near by bakery. That would be really simple! Maybe you could also make something with jello for the toddler to enjoy. But the toodler should be able to eat some of the other food. Unless, he or she is still pretty young.

Scalloped potatoes or potatoes au gratin. You just assemble it and stick it in the oven. It can go in with the ham, too, for an hour.

We always have pineapple slices on the ham. For vegetables,
mashed potatoes, sweet potatoe or squash, peas and carrots.
Any comination of the above with the potatoe. Its up to you. I f you’re having dessert buy a pie or whip up a pudding. Again it depends on how far you want to go with it.
