Make tomorrow night's side dish while you cook tonight's dinner. Peel and slice 6 apples, instead of the 3; sauté as recipe directs. Remove half of the apples from the skillet and refrigerate. Reheat leftovers to serve the next night.

Great Pairings

Baked Acorn Squash

Leftover baked squash can make an excellent soup. Purée the pulp from 4 to 5 squash rings, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream and salt and pepper in a blender. Then heat the soup thoroughly.
