• Honey-and-Apple Ribs (see recipe below)
• Carrot Confetti Salad
• Macaroni Salad
• Coconut Cupcakes

Spend some time cooking on the weekend so you can enjoy Honey-and-Apple Ribs during the week. The ribs reheat beautifully in a slow oven. Add Carrot Confetti Salad, Macaroni Salad, and Coconut Cupcakes for an indoor weeknight barbecue. Let the deli and bakery do most of the work: They make the carrot and macaroni salads and the cupcakes. You just add a few mix-ins to make it all special.

Honey-and-Apple Ribs recipe

Stir diced red and yellow pepper into carrot-raisin salad from the deli.

Buy deli macaroni salad and jazz it up with something fresh like diced tomato, chopped parsley, diced celery, etc.

Top bakery cupcakes with toasted coconut. It'll be a big hit!
