Labor Day Recipes and Menu

Monday, September 07, 2026

Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, so why not bid the season farewell with an outdoor celebration. This menu includes delicious foods that are perfect for outdoor entertaining, but can be prepared inside if the weather does not cooperate. For the main dish, I chose roasted or grilled pulled pork butt roast, served as is or in sandwiches. The meat is bathed in a vinegar-based barbecue sauce, a popular Eastern North Carolina staple. The simple sides include my favorite potato salad, bean salad, coleslaw, a must with pulled pork, and deviled eggs. Dessert is peach crisp, a delicious way to use local peaches, served with homemade or store-bought butter pecan ice cream. All of the recipes, any of which can be prepared at least one day in advance, provide links to alternate choices. Preparation notes are included to help you plan for the event. Enjoy and have a great Labor Day!


Italian Recipes

TerisKitchen.com is probably best known for Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes, the dishes of my family that I grew up loving and learning how to cook. However, in my young adult years, I was introduced to authentic Italian cooking by some close friends and their families. The patriarch was born in Italy and his wife was Italian-American. Most of my everyday cooking and entertaining is based on their simple recipes, many of which are quick, easy, economical and always delicious. As with most cuisines, Italian cooking varies considerably from one region to another. My collection, with nearly 300 recipes, is primarily in the style of Southern Italian cooking, but I have included other regional dishes, as well as some of my favorite traditional Italian-American presentations.
