Answer 8

I'm a grill writer and working on my first web page called Yes You Can Grill.

I have a lot of side dishes but up so far are recipes for a great potato salad and also my Grandma's broccoli salad. Both of those are made ahead and chilled.

I linked the site map page where I make sure to list everything up by category. It's taking time just to get things pasted in. If there's something specific you want to make, I probably have a recipe. There's a contact link to get in touch if I can help.

The burgers, brats and chicken wings sound great. I'd say to go with easy, make ahead sides as you'll likely be pretty busy with three meats.

Answer 9

Now that you have recipes for potato salad & coleslaw (I always add 1 TB. of horseradish and 2 tsp. of dried dillweed to any coleslaw), you might also need fruit:

FRUIT SALAD:  hollow out 1/2 watermelon and refill with the cubed melon, berries, pineapple & garnish with sliced starfruit and fresh mint leaves ......or .....

Our family favorite:

FRUIT AMBROSIA

2 c. heavy whipping cream

1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. almond extract

1 large can mandarin oranges, drained

1-2 cans fruit cocktail, drained

1/2 c. flaked coconut (optional)

3-5 c. miniature marshmellows

     Beat cream, sugar & extracts until very stiff peaks.  Fold in fruit & marshmellows ..... Chill
