For Thanksgiving we smoked a turkey and put some acorn squash wrapped in foil with butter and brown sugar in them in the smoker. They were wonderful.

A friend of mine came up with the basic recipie and I slightly modified it to what you see here.
Grape Salad
2 C red seedless grapes (1 C cut in ½)
¼ C chopped pecan
¼ C crumbled blue cheese
¼ C olive oil
¼ C chopped parsley
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp cinnamon
Cut 1 cup of red seedless grapes and place in bowl with 1 cup whole red seedless grapes. In a separate bowl combine the oil and seasonings. After that is thoroughly mixed, add the chopped pecan and parsley, after that is mixed place into the bowl containing the grapes and gently mix. Last, gently fold in the cheese, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours… overnight is best. This gives time for the flavors to infuse in the oil and time for the pecan to soften up a bit, but 2 hours is the minimum. Serve over a small bed of baby greens. Garnish with Mandarin Orange wedges if you would like.
Let me know if you liked it.

I would go differently a bit for the sides. Wild Rice goes well with anything smoked. And asparagus with melted butter as a side is nice. If you don't like the wild rice idea, how about a couscous or a risotto? YUM
