Answers:
While your grill is getting ready, chop up a few potato's and put into a boiler filled with water!.and add two or three eggs with potato's that you have cubed!.
Ok, while porkchops are on the grill, put some veg!. kabobs on there too!.
Button Mushrooms, onions (cut in half) cherry tomatos, squash, any of those are great!.
While the chops and kabobs are grilling, go check on your potato's and once done, drain, add to mixing bowl, add mayo, mustard, sweet relish, cut up boiled eggs!. Salt and pepper!. Mix!. Refridgerate while pork chops are grilling!. also, I would not put kabobs on at the same time as chops!. maybe 15 minute after!. Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

These cheese potatoes are awesome and so easy to make!. They go really good with anything!.You can make them the night before and then pop them in the oven before serving!. I also like can green beans with a little bacon and sauteed onion in them!. Saute a few little pieces of bacon and onion (1 strip cut in little pieces)!. Then add the can of green beans and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes!. It tastes really good!.

you could make this on the grill as well:
wrap in 2 layers of foil, thin sliced potatoes, onions, and carrots!. add just a little butter and grill with the chops, the veggies take a little longer so start them about 15 minutes earlier on low heat
in the future I'd stay away from Lowrys- high in MSG, sodium, and preservatives!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
