Ham-Blech
Green bean casserole- Blech Mushrooms- Blech Scalloped potatoes- just make the usual not Gruyère (I love Gruyère BTW) If you keep all the Blech, have an alternate to ham for fellow non-ham people. |

Maybe you can sit with the kids at the kiddie table and have whatever they eat. |

| I like all the sides but if I serve ham I always make sure I have another main dish. |

| I mean, we’re having Kung Pao chicken but you do you. |

| Do all your guest eat ham? I don't buy my friends know that too. |

| I'd add a simple salad with roasted root veggies. Like arugula with a sherry vinaigerette and roasted rainbow lemon carrots and parsnips in it. |

| I would eat cranberry sauce and rolls. This is a cheese-heavy menu. |

They get what they get and they don’t get upset. Who isn’t eating ham at Christmas dinner? |

Gewurtztraminer is so sweet. Isn’t it literally a dessert wine? Way too sweet! |

I don't know anyone who drinks Riesling or Gewurtztraminer with dinner. Or really at all. Someone must, but I don't think the super sweet wines are popular. |

I would do a Sancerre instead. |

I love honey baked ham and scalloped potatoes, but I would want some lighter foods to go with those. Maybe just some plain steamed broccoli? Add some carrot and celery sticks to the appetizers? We always have plain mashed butternut squash with ham. It literally needs nothing added to it-- so delicious.
We also always have raisin sauce for the ham. To.Die.For. |
