A different twist on the usual mayonnaise based salad. Try to use only freshly squeezed lemon juice, not the stuff in the bottle.
About 6-8 good sized potatoes
1 tsp. onion powder
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 tsp. dill weed
1-2 tsp. sugar (taste)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
Peel [...]

A lot easier than you think and oh so tender and delicious!
However many ears of corn you want; I usually make 6-8
Peel back husks without removing them, get rid of all the silk, then pull the husks back over the corn (as best you can), place in a large bowl or a cooler, cover [...]

Easy, elegant and tasty. Using a cup of shredded cheddar cheese will make it more cheesy than using grated Parmesan.
2 of the 10 oz. pkgs. frozen chopped broccoli
1 cup of Bisquick or Jiffy Baking Mix (NOT corn muffin mix)
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. salt (kosher salt is best)
1 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano [...]

Yuck? Not when they’re roasted.
Container (about 6-8) Brussels sprouts
Olive Oil - extra virgin is best
Salt (I use Kosher)

Slice the sprouts in half lengthwise.

Spread them in a single layer on a rimmed cookie-type sheet. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons olive oil o
ver. Sprinkle salt & pepper over. Mix it all up with [...]

A true, delicious classic and something we eat all summer long. I like the shredded cabbage pieces smaller so to achieve this I give it a whirl in the food processor for a few seconds; the choice is yours.
1 bag of coleslaw mix
1 cup mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s)
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
1 Tbsp. white sugar
1/2 [...]

This is what you do with those bags of broccoli slaw found near the bags of lettuce and coleslaw at your grocer. Add a sprinkling of nuts (walnuts, pine nut, pecans) whatever you wish to bump it up another notch.  Oddly, this went quite well with egg salad sandwiches.
1 pkg. broccoli slaw mix
2 pkgs. [...]

Cooked slowly in a mixture of bacon-onion water makes for the perfectly stewed fresh green bean. Pair them with most any meat.
1/4 lb. bacon, cut into 1″ pieces
1 medium onion, peeled & sliced
3 cups water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed & cut into 2″ slices

This is the same recipe used for my Marinated Tomato Slices. Get the freshest cucumbers you can find or use the English version.

1 cup vegetable oil (I use canola)
1/3 cup vinegar - white, rice, or tarragon (not cider vinegar)
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley or 1 Tbsp. dry
3 Tbsp. minced fresh basil or 2 tsp. dry
1 [...]

Anybody can make this! The secret lies in not using watery, soggy eggplant. So, with that being said, you prepare your eggplants ahead of time and let them “dry” in the fridge overnight. It comes out so perfect that you’ll be making this easy dish a lot.
2 medium sized eggplants, peeled and sliced into [...]

Because these are made with canned beans, they don’t bake in the oven for hours and hours. They really are one of the best baked beans.
1 pound uncooked bacon, sliced into thirds
2 onions, diced
2 tsp. minced garlic (jarred is fine)
3 28-oz. cans of baked beans
1 1/2 cups ketchup based chili sauce
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 [...]
