| Having people over this weekend for one last cookout (well, first cookout of the season, we've had a lot going on!) Any ideas for sides that are a little more creative than just fries? For some reason I'm drawing a blank. |

Cole slaw
Broccoli slaw Baked beans Green salad Corn on the cob Sweet potato fries |
|
--Baked beans
--salads (both green/veggies or carb based); a salad featuring fall veggies like butternut squash could be good --corn on the cob --grilled veggies (on skewers or not) --Mac and cheese |
|
Giardiniera or if someone likes it spicy, get a can of escabeche with jalapeƱos

That German potato salad that's just potatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thinking sliced onions Sweet potato wedges Black bean burgers for vegetarians |
| Asparagus roasted on the grill |
| Potato chips |
| Baked taters. Do 'em on the grill too. But they take like an hour. |
| Broccoli salad, German potato salad, street corn salad, baked beans |
|
I'd focus on a few slightly more fall sides.
grainy mustard potato salad with lots of dill orzo salad with roasted butternut squash, cranberries, spinach, and a vinaigrette corn on the cob fresh tomatoes if you can find good ones with mozzarella, balsamic glaze, garlic olive oil, and basil baked beans with bacon |
| I want to go to PPs next BBQ! |
I was thinking of a Smitten Kitchen slaw too! This one is one of my favorites: https://smittenkitchen.com/2010/07/mango-slaw-with-cashews-and-mint/ |
