I'm having a BBQ in a couple of weeks, and I'm looking for some sides besides, Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, Pasta Salad and Baked Beans.

I make this awesome bean salad(well so my kids and friends tell me) It is best served warm. Here it is.... Enjoy!!! (If you make it that is)
Kelly's bean salad
Peel and cube some potatoes par boil and then fry lightly in a little butter and oil until golden and cooked through. Then fry some bacon until crisp, in some of the bacon fat fry up some mushrooms. In a DRY pan toast some pine nuts and leave aside.
Take some green beans top and tail them and blanch for about 1-2 minutes in boiling water. Refresh immediately in iced water to stop cooking process and keep them green. Halve or quarter some cherry tomatoes depending on their size.
Place beans bacon tomato and mushrooms in a bowl and add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce. Toss in the potatoes and top with pine nuts. Serve immediately and preferably still warm or slightly above room temperature

Peel and cube some potatoes, carrots, squash, onion, and garlic... any vegetable you like. Place the vegetables on heavy aluminum foil. Seal the foil edges, and bake on the grill (turning occasionally), or in the oven for about an hour. You can add butter, or seasoned salt before baking them. Feeding a big crowd? Make several packages for easier handling.

I was doing some experiment during a BBQ party and it's was not bad.
I baked some mushroom with butter, salt and black pepper in the aluminium foil for about few minutes. Once the mushroom is soft and all butter is absorbed, it is ready to be served.
Have fun trying.

Corn on the cob.
Grill some veggies (green & red peppers, onions, etc.), drizzle with olive oil or a light italian dressing.
Baked potato (wrap 'em in foil and toss 'em on the coals)

It might also be a good idea to have some appetizers for people while they wait for the main food. I just had a big party for my son's 1st birthday, my husband bbq'd I made a good spinach dip and 7 layered bean dip before they all ate their food.

Grilled pineapple, fresh corn salad and grilled artichokes are all fabulous.
