Due to the snow storm about to roll in we are here cooking for 6 guests in town.  I'm SO not a cook or a big dinner planner and i want to hurry up and come up with a great dinner menu.  Hubby got a ham from work and figured would make this ham...only thing i can think of is potatoes and green beans to make with it...yeah ...boring? Can anyone offer me some last minute advice with side dish ideas? If I had fresh green beans, should i have a salad too? what kind a salad? no potatoes? something in place of potatoes...augh! No pressure on me here!!! lol

Relax.  Almost everything would go with the ham.  A salad would be good, even if you're doing green beans.  I would do something seasonal, like this salad and toss in some walnuts and dried cranberries.

As far as a starch, you could do sweet potatoes and some yeast rolls and call it a day.

for Christmas Eve this year we are serving 6 (including us). We are having a honey baked ham, home made mac and cheese, rolls, pumpkin pie, and one of my friends is bringing a veggie dish, I told her she could bring whateverr she wanted.

ham, scalloped potatoes, and green beans might be "boring," but boy is it good.  A no muss no fuss meal might just be the thing in the middle of a snow storm.  Add some rolls and a spinach salad.  If you want a wow- do it with dessert.

Very easy and good casserole my mother makes at holidays;

2 packages chopped frozen spinach, thawed (I drain it well, she does not)

3 cups shredded cheddar

1 egg, beaten

1 cup mayo

1 can golden mushroom soup

 

Mix together, pour into casserole dish, bake at 350 until bubbly and browned on top.  I made it for a work dinner and it was totally cleaned out.
