Spiral Cut Double Glazed Brown Sugar Ham with Sweet Potato Casserole!! The perfect holiday dinner! A Spiral Cut Double Glazed Brown Sugar Ham from ALDI and my homemade Sweet Potato Casserole! Add some savory side dishes and you’ve got the best holiday dinner!
I can’t believe this year is coming to an end. With each year ending, I try to take the time to reflect on the year. . what happened, who I spent time with, how my daughters grew and any accomplishments they had and special memories we shared. Every Christmas, my family and I all usually get together at my parents’ house in Dallas. My brother’s family lives in California and my sister’s family is in Minnesota so everyone being under the same roof for any period of time is a big deal.
I love going back and seeing my old friends, spending time with my brother and sister and my parents and cooking up a storm. My family is filled with foodies. We love to eat and we know how to plan, prepare and cook a great meal.
We’re big meat eaters so every year there’s a ham on the table. The ham is the first thing the kids want to eat and it’s always the centerpiece of our holiday table. This year, we are picking up a Spiral Cut Double Glazed Brown Sugar Ham from ALDI. It’s pre-cooked and pre-sliced and the brown sugar packet comes with the ham, so it couldn’t be any easier, or delicious!
And when you’re making lots of side dishes and fighting for oven space, easy and delicious works!
I mean, just look at this ham. Glorious.
We will always have a good variety of sweet and savory sides to go with our ham (and we usually have steaks or a beef rib roast too! Remember I said we know how to eat?). Mashed potatoes or baked potatoes, green beans, classic glazed carrots, a salad, sautéed spinach. . . and this year, I’m making this sweet potato casserole.
I love that this can easily serve as a dessert as well! It’s sweet but loaded with amazing flavor and topped with glazed pecans. This sweet potato casserole is an amazing side dish and accompanies the ham and savory side dishes brilliantly.
Christmas is just a couple of weeks away. Are you ready? Do you have your family’s Christmas dinner menu all planned out? Be sure to schedule a trip to

I’m not ready yet Alice…still trying to catch my breath from Thanksgiving. Love this ham and sweet potato combo. We served ham around the holidays as a kid and this brings back so many wonderful memories. I’ve got to get it on my holiday menu this year!
