Delicious with chicken, pork or steak.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Dijon mustard and dry white wine add French flair to this longtime favorite.

Great with chicken, turkey burgers or steak.

This dish is sensational with barbecued pork or grilled sausages or salmon. A spicy honey-mustard dressing is the salad's perfect finishing touch.

Accompany the chowder with saltines or Crown Pilot crackers. A side of steamed broccoli with lemon dressing is also nice, as are individual pecan pies á la mode for dessert.

The butter for the yams gets a lift from the peel of oranges, plus chili powder and cayenne pepper. Making the topping ahead saves time on the big day.

Serve these with a salad and some sausage for a hearty main course.
