I love to grill, and one of my favorite sides to make is NC Sweetpotatoes. Did you know that sweetpotatoes is actually one word? Simply cut into wedges and mix with taco seasoning, then throw them on the grill to give them a beautiful caramelization. Or you can make easy sweetpotato fries using your air fryer. I use NC Sweetpotatoes because they are nutrient-dense with Vitamins A, C, fiber and antioxidants. Perfect for any diet, they’re sweetened from the earth and low in calories. Use them year round, they have a long shelf life and they stay delicious. Visit https://ncsweetpotatoes.com/ to learn more.

Another classic favorite is Bush’s Baked Beans - they’re the sure side of a good time. Bush’s Baked Beans have a distinct, yet complementary flavor that pairs perfectly with hamburgers and hot dogs. Whether you’re opening a can of Original, Brown Sugar Hickory or any other variety, it’s like opening a can of summer. They also have a new recipe - Bush’s Zero Sugar Added Baked Beans - same iconic flavor you love, but without the added sugar. Visit Bushsbeans.com to learn more.
