Side vegetable dishes to go with ham?

I'm in charge of the ham and a couple of vegetables for Christmas. What are your favorites? No sweet potatoes.

If you are not having mashed potatoes, these are scrumptious.

Here is the recipe:
Several years ago, I was given this easy hint for scalloped potatoes. They are so creamy and everyone wants to sample the crispy, brown top. This recipe is adaptable for whatever size casserole dish. (This may have been posted here before.)

EASY SCALLOPED POTATOES
Potatoes
Salt and Pepper
Dry minced onion OR fresh minced onion
Heavy cream OR Half-and-half*

Layer potatoes on the bottom of casserole dish. Salt and pepper. Sprinkle with onion.
Repeat layers. Until dish is approximately 2/3 to 3/4 full.
Pour cream around sides of potatoes~~~about ½ to 1-inch to the top of potatoes.
Dot with butter OR margarine, if desired. Salt and pepper.
Bake covered at 325 to 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, OR until bubbly around the sides.
Remove cover. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.

SCALLOPED APPLES

I can't give you exact amounts for the ingredients for the scalloped apples. I just guess. I like to use a nice cooking apple (Granny Smith's are good), but I have even used Macintoch if they are nice & firm.

In a buttered casserole, place a layer of sliced apples, dot w/ butter or margarine & sprinkle w/ brown sugar & cinnamon. Keep layering, dotting & sprinkling :0) until you reach the top of the casserole. Bake covered at 350 degrees about 45 mins. Uncover & continue to cook until apples are soft (not too soft though).

This is my grandmother's "recipe". We always have it for the holidays. My daughter is usually the one who brings them to our holiday family dinners now.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

We used to always make the green bean casserole (mushroom soup & fried onions) 'til we tried these & decided we liked them better.

BRAISED GARLIC & STRING BEANS
1 lb. string beans, trimmed (I've also used 16 oz. frozen)
3 TBL. butter or marg.
4-5 whole cloves garlic
salt & pepper to taste

Cook beans in boiling salted water 'til just tender-crisp. Rinse under cold water & drain. Melt butter in large skillet over LOW heat. Add the whole cloves garlic; cook, covered, very slowly 'til lightly golden & soft, 20-25 min. Don't let butter burn. Remove cover & mash garlic with fork 'til well mixed with the butter. Add the beans to skillet & toss over med. heat til warmed through. Add salt & pepper.

Here's another yummy one:

CORN WITH BASIL
2 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen corn, thawed in 'fridge overnight
1 small chopped onion
1 stalk thinly sliced celery
1 clove minced garlic
2 TBL. butter
1/4 tsp. basil
1/2 tsp. salt
2 oz. drained pimientos

In large skillet, on med. heat, melt butter; add corn, onion, celery & garlic cooking & stirring 'til onion is tender about 10 min. Stir in rest of ingred's.; reduce heat. Cover & cook 'til corn is tender, 3-5 min.

I do all I can the day ahead like chopping ingredients, etc. Or even make day before so you can just re-heat on the holiday.

I love scalloped potatoes with ham and green beans. I love cole slaw so frequently include that when I have ham. Love those little dollar rolls to make little sandwiches with too.

RE: Side vegetable dishes to go with ham?

Brussels Sprouts, another member of the cabbage family are also excellent with ham and the red and green color of this dish makes it a good one for Christmas dinner.
About a week before Thanksgiving I decided to make this for dinner and the idea to add potatoes to it sounded good so in addition to the ingredients listed below, I added 2 quarts baby redskin potatoes, most of which I cut in half after scrubbing them. I added the potatoes to the pan when I added the brussels sprouts. A lot of the ingredients I increased because I added the potatoes too.
Cooking time was of course longer.

John

Bacon Brussels Sprouts

6 slices bacon, chopped (I used 1 lb.)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 green onions, chopped (I used 6)
3 cloves garlic, minced (I used 5)
8 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed, small sprouts left whole, larger sprouts halved (I used around 10 cups)
2 quarts baby redskin potatoes, scrubbed and halved
Salt and pepper, to your taste
2 cups chicken broth ( I used 2 14oz. cans)

Brown bacon in a large skillet over medium high heat. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Add extra-virgin olive oil to the pan. Add green onion and garlic to the pan and saute 1 minute. Add Brussels sprouts and coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook Brussels sprouts 2 to 3 minutes to begin to soften, then add broth. Bring broth to a bubble, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Transfer sprouts to a serving dish with a slotted spoon and top with cooked bacon bits.
