Memorial day weekend- cookout menus?

So the IL's are coming over this weekend to grill out with us.  We are doing burgers and hot dogs (with all the fixings).  Im making baked beans and deviled eggs.  I think Im going to make an easy dessert- something like cookies/brownies.

DH asked that his sisters and mom bring some stuff too (salads, sides, etc).

So, should I make anything else?

    I think what you have sounds fine!  Especially if his sisters and mom are bringing food, sounds like you should have plenty!

    Im hoping outside, but they are complainers and super annoying so they will probably be in and out of the house.

    This is a super yummy fruit dip, but you could also make these cinnamon chips to go with it:

    I've made this twice for large gatherings, and it always goes fast.  It's easy to make, but it tastes like I put a lot of effort into it.  Smile

    That sounds great!  Thanks :)  Could I make these ahead of time (the day before), or will they get stale?

    Oh, you can definitely make both the chips and the dip ahead of time.  Just cover them with plastic wrap or something and it should all be fine.

  • Thanks for making me hungry people :) I think dips are a good idea. I love fruit dip idea and even spinish dip (I love sponish dip)

  • i was going to suggest a spinach dip also

    we make something around here called crack dip....cream cheese, rotel, and hamburger meat. it is similar to rotel dip but cream cheese replaced the velveta.

    I will run these dips by DH to see what he thinks they will like (bc they always have some comment about what I make).
