Hey there everyone! Whit here to bring you my two favorite summer “sides” that are a delicious pair with tasty food fresh off the grill. I’m sure most of you agree that one of the best things about summer is BBQs with family and friends. The first recipe I’m going to share has always been a hit at places I’ve brought it! It is fresh, colorful and FULL of flavor!

Crunchy Corn Salad

2 Cans Whole Kernel Corn (drained)

½ Green Pepper (diced)

½ Red Pepper (diced)

Small Red Onion (diced)

1 Cup Mayonnaise

2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Bag of Chili Cheese Fritos

Optional: 1 Jalapeño (diced)

  1. Place drained corn in a medium bowl.
  2. Cut, seed, and dice peppers and onions and place in bowl.
  3. Stir in mayonnaise and shredded cheese.
  4. Let salad set in refrigerator for 4+ hours.
  5. Serve salad on top of crunched up Chili Cheese Fritos.

Next I want to share more of a cooking technique for one of my favorite vegetables, cabbage. There are so many benefits of cabbage: it is loaded with important nutrients (like fiber and vitamin C), incredibly low in calories (15 calories per cup), and it is extremely cheap (sometimes around 50¢ a head when in season). However, I think cabbage is one of those vegetable that you either love or hate. Obviously I love it, but if you are on the fence about it, maybe preparing it this way will change your mind.

Grilled Green Cabbage *I usually cut this recipe in half and then prepare the other half another night*

1 Large Green Cabbage

1 Stick of Butter (cut into tablespoon portions)

½ Cup of Water

Salt/Pepper/Garlic Powder

  1. Preheat grill.
  2. Remove any dirty or wilted outer leaves and wash cabbage thoroughly.
  3. Cut cabbage in half lengthwise and remove the stems.
  4. Cut one half into 4-6 lengthwise wedges and then cut again across the middle.
  5. Transfer cabbage to double-layered foil sheet.
  6. Fold the sides of the foil up about  1”, kind of making a square boat and pour ¼ cup water of the wedged/cut cabbage.
  7. Place 4 tablespoons of butter around the cabbage
  8. Cover with foil and pinch the foil pack closed.
  9. Cook on grill for 25-30 minutes or until desired tenderness.
  10. Remove from grill and open foil pack to release steam; let cool for a few minutes.
  11. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, or any other favorite seasoning.

*Repeat steps 4-9 for other the ½ cabbage but prepare in a separate foil pack.

Wish I could have provided step by step pictures with the directions but I’m not that great with multi-tasking, haha! I hope you try one of these recipes out and get lots of compliments- there is nothing better! :) Have a very happy and fun rest of the summer!

    I agree T.O. should sign with a good team with a great quarterback. I think Cincinnati would be a good fit, although they would have to widen the locker room entrances for his ego to walk in beside Ocho Cincos. However, I do NOT agree he should call Randy Moss and get some advice, as I dont think anyone should seek advice from Randy Moss on anything.
