With a butter knife, spread mustard all over ham sides included!.

Next, take the brown sugar in hand and spread sugar on top of mustard pat the sides with brown sugar!. Put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the cake pan (to prevent brown sugar from sliding down and burning bottom of ham)!.

Cole Slaw is best if made the night before!. Just buy a bag of shredded cabbage and add 1 cup mayonaisse, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt and pepper!.

Baked Beans - just mix up the night before and slide in the oven at 325 for 45 minutes before serving: 2 cans pork & beans, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 medium minced onion, a teaspoon of mustard!. Try it and adjust ingredients to fit your taste - there's nothing in it that you can't eat raw!. Top with bacon but don't put this on until just before you put it in the oven!.

Potato Salad is always a good side dish

2 pounds quartered medium red potatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 small red or green bell pepper, sliced
1 cup Miracle Whip
1 tablespoon Coarse ground mustard

I usually add a bit of dill weed to it!. Cook the potatoes for about 12 minutes

SIMPLE BAKED ONION SIDE DISH

2 layers chopped or sliced onions
plenty of grated cheese
1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
milk (enough to soften soup)
garlic powder
potato chips, crumbled

Select a small to medium sized casserole or oven proof baking dish!. Spray with non-stick spray or wipe with melted butter!.
Peel, chop or slice enough onions to cover the bottom of the baking dish so that you will have a double layer of onions on the bottom!. Sprinkle the onions with enough grated cheese to cover and a light sprinkle of garlic powder!.

In a medium bowl, combine soup with enough milk to soften the soup to pouring consistency!. Pour over the onion and cheese evenly!. Sprinkle with crumbled potato chips!.

Note: This is even easier to make if you use a food processor to slice or chop the onions!.

Kids love to prepare this dish, too!

Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes!.

Incredible Chicken Salad

3 cups chicken breast (cooked and cubed)
1 cup pineapple (diced)
1/2 cup celery (diced)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup walnuts
1/8 cup dried cranberries
2 Tablespoons sweet onion (minced)
2 Tablespoons apple juice

Combine all ingredients in a bowl until well combined and chill!. Serve with a lettuce garnish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Ham!. You can serve it separate, or chunk it up into the mac and cheese, if it is very creamy!.
Sides might be some green beans with onions and a bit of bacon, cole slaw, and I love some cranberry sauce, the chunky or the jellied, to break up the rich tastes of the other things!.
My Mom used lemon jello, and drained some canned crushed pineapple, used the juice and made up the cup of cold with water, and grated some carrots!. Very yummy, and it did the same thing as the cranberry!.
Mom always had mac and cheese with hot dogs, and we had it sometimes with fish sticks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Anything involving ham is a wonderful pair to go alongside mac 'n cheese!. You might want to also serve something green (as in a vegetable, of course!) -- as far as that is concerned, you'd have to consult your own preferences (Steamed fresh green beans with almonds, perhaps!? Asparagus, maybe!?)!. And if you can picture what a table setting of mac 'n cheese, ham, and a green vegetable would look like, you can see that not only would that particular combination provide dairy, carbs, protein and vegetables (all 4 food groups), it also looks mighty pretty on the table!. :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
