Ham

What size ham should I buy to serve 15 people -- I will have a few side dishes to go along with it.

Hi, Chris,

Your 4 notes gave me a smile, here are all the answers at once:

ham-7 pounds boneless, none left over
mashed potatoes- about 6 pounds unless they are potato maniacs
brussel sprouts- about 5 pounds ready to cook (add a little to allow for trimming, if fresh)
carrots- 4 1/2 pounds

FYI, 15 works out to about 1/6 of the amount for 100- you need a bit more wiggle room with fewer people, that's why it isn't exactly .15.

Thanks so much! First time hosting a Holiday dinner and am a little stressed about having enough food!
