Answer 4

Something green - either a salad or broccoli. I like a salad with mandarin oranges,baby greens and a light dressing (maybe one of the Newman dressings) and not the creamy types.

I guess you'll be having cake for dessert but how about something with fruit like mango or peaches. Yum for summer. Happy birthday, Grandma!
