Any good ideas for a great cook-out?
I'm hosting a cook-out on Saturday. I know I'm having hot dogs. (There will be 14 kids attending.) We'll probably grill some burgers and chicken and possibly salmon. I'm looking for some good recipes for those and some side dishes that will go great with them. Any suggestions or recipes will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
