Adding New Side Dishes

    

Often on holidays and Sundays my family would serve the traditional mash potatoes, sweet potatoes and stuffing. Now I try to sneak one or two side dishesbeside these traditional ones. Usually, they are the first ones gone, and get the most compliments! Here are four side dishesfor you to add to your family table.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half. Remove and discardseeds. Place squash halves cut side up in a shallow baking dish. Combine juice and honey.Mix well. Add 1/2 tsp. butter to each squash half. Cover panwith lid or foil tightly wrapped, and bake squash with butter for 30 minutes. Removefoil, and bake 30 minutes more until tender. Scoop out and mash squash; add juice and honey mixture thenreturn to shells. Bake another 10 minutes.
