Southern BBQ Menu--ok?
Ok so our VR is over Fourth of July weekend at my dad's house, so we're doing BBQ style food. It's just 30 people and they're all our family/close friends so no real food complainers! We're cutting a small cake that my friend's mom is making us, then freezing another small cake (and when I say small, I mean a 6-inch round cake!), and we wanted pies anyway because neither of us our real big cake eaters.
I'm debating between doing traditional potato salad (cold) or a rosemary/garlic potato and green bean salad (warm). I'm also debating on doing macaroni salad (cold) or baked macaroni (warm).
Here's the menu so far, let me know if anything is unneccesary or need something else:

Re: Southern BBQ Menu--ok?
On that note, I think it's more customary to have warm salads in the south. At least that's what i've found.
Growing up in Idaho all of our salads were cold, and moving here with FI family all they make are casseroles and warm salads!
I'm assuming cream corn casserole is like sweet corn casserole - to-die-for.
From someone who is serving BBQ, and southern sides as well (home made sweet potatoes, and friend green tomatoes)... I would go with the traditional potato salad, and baked macoroni.
