A little help with some side dishes please.

[shadows4]

Currently on a camping trip with three other couples. We need some suggestions for side dishes. Quick and easy would be a plus. Thanks.

Partial peel some fresh cucumbers (2-3 depending on size...small better)
Slice a white onion...separate the rings
1/2 c. white vinegar
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. sugar
dash of salt and pepper


In shallow dish lay out cucumber/onion slices
Mix vinegar,water,sugar and S/P
Pour mix over cucumbers/onions

Cover/marinate at least 1 hour...overnight better

Crisp, clean, refreshing salad

You can hang out with my granddaughter any day of the week but errrr she rarely waits an hour for em to marinate:cool:.

This is a favorite at our house - low fat. We prefer cider vinegar.

Grilled Brussells Sprouts:

Cut each one in 1/2- steam for a few minutes till just approaching tender.

Put in bowl coat with Olive Oil and Herbs de Provence and a little Balsalmic Vinegar

and Grill until char marks show and they are tender...NOT mushy.

Dust with some Pink Himalayan Salt and freshly ground pepper.

Wilted spinach salad.

Fry up a couple of pieces of bacon. Crumble and set aside.

While the bacon is cooking:
Wash a bag of fresh spinach and put in a bowl.

Chop hard boiled eggs, carrots, celery, onions or whatever else you like and add to the spinach.

To make the dressing heat the skillet with the bacon grease on low and add 2 Tbsp vinegar and 2 Tbsp of sugar to taste.

Pour over top of the spinach while warm and toss. Add the crumbled bacon to the top.

Rice-0-Roni style flavored rices
Stir Fry veggies
And my favorite, pie

[sdianel_-acct_c]

baked potatoes and corn on the grill wrapped in aluminum foil.
Hawaiian "baked beans" in skillet: bacon, onion, 1 can crushed pineapple, beans. Cook bacon, saute onion, add beans and pineapple and cook about half an hour.
We also like Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Pilaf. Just heat in microwave 90 seconds.
