At this time of the year, you will have a number of options for healthy veggie side dishes. Corn is probably the most available option for a party or dinner menu.

Pesto-tossed roasted zucchini or a grilled salad made of a mix of grilled bell peppers, sweet tomatoes, and salty olives can make its place to your table too. The great thing about the grilled salad is that you can easily turn this dish into an appetizer by topping it with crostini mixed with goat cheese.

Accompany your Vegetables with a Dessert

A fruit pie, especially a raspberry-peach pie, will be the best choice to complement a Labor Day meal. A sweet and sour combination of raspberries and peaches coupled with a lightened piecrust will make a healthy, winning dessert. The same raspberries can be used to make delicious drinks. Use frozen raspberries, raspberry-flavored syrup, fresh mint, seltzer, and ice cubes to make this super easy and refreshing drinks. It will serve as a low-calorie alternative to sugar-laden sodas normally served in parties.

These delicious but easy end-of-summer recipes served on a casual table decorated with flags and red, blue, and white colors will rock your party and take care of your health at the same time.

Decorations

Patriotic decorations usually dominate Labor Day parties. In addition to stars and stripes, you can add rich oranges, earth tones, yellows, and golds because of the slight chill in the air. If your party lasts into the night, you can add twinkle lights, tiki torches, and candles in hurricane lamps to keep things bright. Use citronella candles to get rid of flying critters.
