I hate making a great dish that I quickly grow tired of because I'm stuck eating it all week long.

Two recommendations: Stir the mac and cheese about halfway through the baking time and always use good cheese like Tillamook.

Dijon Chicken Salad
Picnics and the 4th of July just seem to go together. So here's my recipe for Dijon Chicken Salad, which makes an excellent picnic sandwich.
1 chicken breast, cooked and shredded
4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup Dijonnaise
2 oz. shaved Parmesan
Mix it all together. Serve warm on sourdough.
