Wanna help me make a menu?
This weekend we're doing a small cookout for our families to see our home. We're going to do burgers since that's easy enough. What else should we have? I want it to be impressive but easy. Here are some things I'm thinking but I welcome all ideas!
-Burgers - of course!
-Either potato salad or pasta salad (If you have suggestions for something in place of this or any awesome recipes I'd love to see them)
-Appetizers of chips and salsa/guac
-Drinks - tea, lemonade, beer, wine
And...that's all I've got. I'm usually good at this but I've got a million things going on so my mind is blank. Also, if you have an idea for some type of drink in place of the wine I'd love that.
Thanks!

Re: Wanna help me make a menu?
you could roast veggies on the BBQ - corn, zucchini, peppers, etc. I've made this salad before, really easy and good!

for a drink, what about a white wine sangria? since it's served chilled, it would be more refreshing than a red wine sangria:

or you could do lemonade, club soda, vodka, something along those lines.
Grilled corn
Strawberry salad
Touchdown Shandy (mostly lemonade with a splash of beer on top)

Maybe grill up a few chicken sausages for those who don't want burgers?
Sweet potato fries! I love the chipotle flavored ones from Alexa in the freezer section.
Don't forget dessert! A couple of pies should do the trick.
I think it's all in the presentation... put the cold bottled drinks in a cool galvanized steel bucket... condiments in their own ramekins... veggies lined up on a white platter...plasticware pre-wrapped in napkins or displayed in coordinating glasses... cute table cloth... etc.

This is my new favorite salad! I love it soooo much!
Instead of mayo, we use italian salad dressing! To me, perfect summer salad!!
