then slice up some spicy italian sausage and add to the mix
then add, corn on the cobb (for best results boil your corn on the cobb for at least 5 minutes, remove from boiling water and let cool, once cooled, slice corn on the cobb into smaller slices, in other words you will have miniature corn on the coobs now). once all ears have been sliced, add to your mixture.
Cover with foil and bake for about 30 minutes

cucumber and onion salad made with:
1 thinly sliced english(seedless) cucumbers
1 thinly sliced valadia onions
1c kraft miracle whip and
2T fresh dill.
Mix and chill before serving.
Super Fruity Sangria
32 oz. cranberry juice or 1 bottle red wine (750 ml) for the version with alcohol
2 cups club soda
1/4 cup orange juice or 1/4 cup orange-flavored liqueur for the version with alcohol
1 orange, halved and sliced
1 apple, seeded and chopped into chunky pieces
8 strawberries, stemmed and sliced
1/4 cup blueberries, fresh
1 lime, cut into wedges
One 14 oz. can pineapple chunks (including juice from can)
To make the nonalcoholic version, combine the cranberry juice, club soda and orange juice in a pitcher. (It is best to use juice and soda that have been refrigerated.) To make the alcoholic version, pour the chilled wine, club soda and your choice of orange-flavored liqueur into a pitcher and stir to combine.
To both versions add the orange, apple, strawberries, blueberries, lime wedges and pineapple chunks with its own juice from the can. Stir to combine. Let the sangria sit for 5 minutes so that the flavors can develop.
Before serving, fill individual glasses with some fruit from the pitcher. Also, add ice, if desired, to the pitcher or individual glasses.
*** For another delicious nonalcoholic alternative, substitute white grape juice for the cranberry juice. And any cut fruit works great; feel free to use whatever is in season
