BBQ Menu

As you know Summer is coming to an end and so is the heat and humidity. The down side means weekend BBQs are numbered. So celebrate with a vengeance. Below will be the items from this post link that stood out to me.

Appetizers can be made on the grill. Yeah! These I mentioning weren’t on this menu. Smoked stuffed jalapenos. While I am not a huge fan, there are many people who are. Check out Bobby Flay’s site. He’s a guru on the grill. Potato wedges could be done on a grill and served as an appetizer.

I grew up in Paragould Arkansas. I have consumed my fair share of Memphis style ribs. When I saw them on the menu, memories came back. So let’s go with those. What to serve with them? As you know I’ve been sharing non-dairy sides. If you’re going to serve a dairy based side make sure you take precautions. A great alternative is Baked Beans. Oh yeah! Sweet, spicy and bacon or pulled pork included. My late mom made a vinegar based coleslaw that was awesome. Now that I am older and she has passed, I hope one day I can recreate it. Or find it. Fries are always welcomed.

Dessets. Yep. You can do these on the grill as well. Again, checkout Bobby Flay on FoodNetwork website. However, the one we are going to look at is something I never thought about. Strawberry Beer Float. It’s such an obvious choice. Strawberries are the fruit of summer. Ice cream is a must. Why not combine strawberry, ice cream and a beer soda like ginger beer. This won’t affect the color like root beer.

Drinks. This will depend on your family and situation. I personally don’t drink. Have in the past and it was disastrous. Other wise Pinterest has an abundance of punches that are perfect for a mixed crowd.
