What are some cool things to do for a BBQ birthday party?!
Grilled Cuban Sandwiches:
MUSTARD:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika, regular or smoked
SANDWICH:
- 4 hoagie rolls or 8 slices of your favorite bread
- 6 ounces sliced turkey
- 6 ounces sliced ham
- 8 slices 1/4 pound swiss, provolone or cheddar cheese
thin dill pickle
- 1/2 cup soft butter
In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, mustard, cumin, paprika and a pinch of salt.
Split rolls or cut desired bread into slices (8).
Butter the outsides of the bread and lay out of a piece of tin foil or waxed paper.
Spread the inside of each roll or bread with mustard mixture.
Layer meats and cheese on bottom halves of rolls or bread.
Add a cheese layer and top with pickles.
Cover with the top halves of the rolls or bread.
Place on a hot skillet or panini press.
If using a skillet, cover the sandwich with foil and set a heavy pan or pot on top to press down the sandwich. (Even a brick wrapped in foil makes a great press.)
Grill, pressing constantly and turning once, until the sandwiches are browned and crisp on both sides. (5-6 minutes per side)
Cut in half and serve warm.
I hope you enjoy this. Have a good birthday party!!
Answers: You should definitely have LOTS of food cooking. Ribs, burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and cubed steak are all good. I would marinate everything but the burgers and hot dogs the night before, in like some store-bought teriyaki marinade or whatever flavor you like.

Shish Kabobs-time consuming but very good. chicken or marinated sirloin,canned potates,tomatoes,zuccini and onion

Stuffed burgers are good too! Like with bleu cheese or onions, garlic, and rosemary.

BBQ everything except the drinks and the ice crem.
Have you ever had apples and peaches wrapped in foil, sprinkled with butter and brown sugar and grilled alongside the main courses?
Make each person responsible for grilling their own food.
Buy or make cheap paper aprons and chef's hats. They will all have fun.
Definitely some interactive games that all the guests could enjoy like kickball or football. You can also play boardgames like Pictionary or Catchphrase. Playing cards is another good one. Just make sure you have plenty of games that people of all ages can play! Don't forget to play some music in the background. And, if there is no pool turn on the sprinklers for the kids.
