Grilled Red Potato Salad - Once you've had this you will never go back to the traditional!
Spiral Cut Hot Dogs - These are so fun for the kiddos!
BBQ Smashed Potatoes with Chicken - Um, wow, that's all I have to say about these! Everyone should try them at least once!
Fresh Spring Rolls - Need a break from all the meat? Said no man ever! But sometimes, us women need a few veggies in our life!
Curried Avocado Yogurt Dip This is the BEST and a nice change from the traditional ranch!
Grilled Ranch Chicken Skewers - Don't worry, we would never give up ranch altogether ; )!
Lemon and Herb Shrimp Skewers - If you're a shrimp lover this is one of the best ways to cook it in my opinion.
Veggie Pasta Salad - Every cookout needs a veggie pasta salad!
Roasted Red Pepper, Tomatillo, and Cilantro Hummus - Why, yes, yes this is the most delicious hummus you've ever tried!
