Here is a side dish that is wonderful with chicken or pork.

NEW POTATO BAKE

• 1 can condensed broccoli-cheese soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1/4 tsp. hot pepper sauce
• 1 1/2 lbs. small red potatoes, washed and quartered
• 2 med. onions, cut into wedges
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (fresh, not the canned)

In a large bowl, combine soup, sour cream, and hot sauce. Add potatoes and onions; toss to coat well. Place in a 2-qt casserole in an even layer. Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 375 degrees for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Garnish with chives.

Here is a great easy snack to take to a party.

SUGAR-PLUM BACON CURLS

• 1/2 lb. thick-sliced bacon
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Bring bacon to room temperature, then cut each slice in half. Combine sugar and cinnamon and coat each slice with sugar mixture. Twist bacon and place in a shallow baking dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. (Watch closely because sugar burn easily)
