Pulled Pork with Root Beer Sauce
Carrot Salad with Pineapple
Shredded carrots tossed with a dollop of mayonnaise and canned crushed pineapple makes a great sweet salad.
Potato Salad with Peppers
Deli potato salad is made much more lively with sauteed red and yellow peppers. Start with fresh peppers and saute in olive oil. Or go to the freezer section in the grocery store and pick up a package of stir-fry peppers. Cook according to package directions; chop and add to potato salad.
Upside-Down Sundaes
Fun for kids and grown-ups alike, try this funny sundae: Put a cherry and whipped cream in the bottom of the cup, drizzle with chocolate sauce, then top with ice cream. You have to get to the bottom of the cup for the topping in an upside-down sundae.
