foil packets: 

spray doubled foil with cooking spray, layer your ingredients (meats, veggies, etc), drizzle with oil and seasoning of your choice. Then grill for 15 minutes or so. Cut everything pretty small so the meat cooks fast :)   

one packet: thin thin thin sliced red potatoes, broccoli, shirmp, fox point seasoning, turkey kielbasa, onion and feta

coleslaw: 

Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage, finely shredded

• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 tablespoons grated Spanish onion
• 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons celery salt
• Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Combine the shredded cabbage and carrots in a large bowl. Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, onion, sugar, vinegar, mustard, celery salt, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl, and then add to the cabbage mixture. Mix well to combine and taste for seasoning; add more salt, pepper, or sugar if desired. 

pork: 

NEED:
1 pork butt (i had a shoulder so that would do)
2 cups apple cider vinnegar
salt and pepper to taste
