  • Butter 

  • Corn on the cob

Start by firing up your grill at medium heat. Remove your corn’s outer husks before rubbing it down with unsalted butter. Place the ears of the corn on aluminum foil.

  1. Instant Pot Mac & Cheese

  • Three cups of medium cheddar cheese

Set your Instant Pot maker to cook on high for four minutes and combine your macaroni, four cups of water, and one tablespoon of salt.

While adding your cheddar, make sure you stir until the cheese melts.

  1. Coleslaw

  • Three cups of sliced, thin, green cabbages.

  • Three shredded carrots (tricolor)

  • One cup of grated cauliflower

Slice your cabbage into thin strips. Then, grate your carrots and the cauliflower. Finally, mix your vegetables and the other ingredients in a bowl.
