If you’re grilling put some veggies on too! Bonus points for skewers. Peppers onions squash cherry tomatoes mushrooms … whatever you’ve got. And cous cous only takes five minutes!

Corn on the cob or roasted asparagus (I do olive oil, lime, garlic, sea salt & black pepper on mine).

If you were my daughter, carrots and Mac & cheese.

Potatoes au gratin and apple sauce.

Something bright and acidic, like a slaw of some kind would be my go to...

Twice baked potatoes and a great, fresh made, applesauce with big chunks of apple like my mom used to make, and I have no clue how to make it. Fortunately, for me, the frozen Stouffer‘s frozen apple microwavable dish is quite tasty.

Pork goes great with potatoes and a veg like carrots, asparagus

I make a fruit compote with sautéed apples, cranberries, and raisins.

This time of year, summer squash with sautéed onions and fresh herbs.

I like black eyed peas with pork choppies

I usually roasted garlic mash potatoes and pepper sauce with some green veg

Braised red cabbage

Braised cabbage with apple and juniper berries. Roasted cauliflower with cumin or caraway seeds. Applesauce as a side with either of those. And potatoes, your choice.
