The Sides
If you're cooking for five or less, make the recipe as directed. Cooking for more? Simply double or triple the ingredients.

2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
5 to 6 carrots, cut into rounds
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup crushed crackers

Combine the orange juice, carrots and onion in a baking dish. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F about 20 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with the cheese and cracker crumbs. Bake another 10 minutes.

Rice and Orzo With Lemon and Parsley
2 tablespoons margarine
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
1/4 cup orzo
2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely-grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh, minced parsley

Melt the margarine in a skillet. Add the rice and orzo; cook, stirring, about three minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook, covered, for about 45 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest and parsley.

1 pound yellow squash, cut into chunks
1 pound zucchini, cut into chunks
1/2 pound tiny red potatoes, whole
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon pepper seasoning
1 onion, cut into wedges

Pour the oil and lemon pepper into a large bowl. Add the potatoes and squash. Toss to coat. Spread into a baking dish, and cook at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes. Stir, then turn the oven up to 450 degrees F. Cook until browned.

Note: To ensure the squash and potatoes cook evenly, cut the squash into chunks a little big bigger than the potatoes.
