Hi make veggie kebabs using button mushrooms, chunks of courgette,chunks of red/green/orange bell peppers, chunks of red onion and cherry tomatoes, brush with sunflower oil and refridgerate until needed!.
Try fruit kebabs, chunks of pineapple,mango,peaches, apricots, red and white grapes!. soak these in fruit juice to prevent going brown and drizzle with golden syrup or maple syrup before putting on barbeque!

The recipe below is from http://www!.eighth-day!.co!.uk/recipes!.htm
Ingredients
1 450g packet of plain tofu
1 red pepper
1 red onion
1 green pepper
2 long woody rosemary stems or skewers
1 clove of garlic
1 chilli
Chopped rosemary leaves (removed from the skewers)
1 tablespoon of tomato
A generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper
Good olive oil
2 limes
Method
If you are using rosemary for your skewers, choose long and woody stems and strip off most of the leaves!. Leave a small tuft at one end!.
Chop the tofu into large cubes and marinate for 1 hour in the lime juice, the tomato puree, finely chopped garlic and chilli, and a tablespoon of finely chopped rosemary leaves!.
Chop the red onion and the peppers into the same size pieces as the tofu and coat in the marinade!.
Skewer the tofu and vegetables in a pattern of alternate colours and then finish off with a wedge of lime!.
You may need a sharp knife to make holes in the tofu and vegetables before you thread them!.
Drizzle with olive oil, season with the black pepper, then on to the BBQ

I love Boca Burgers, especially the flame grilled ones!. You can pop them into the microwave, and have burgers ready for those who want them!. There's also Boca burger meat, which you can make into taco salad or sloppy joes!. Go on the following site, and look up some vegetarian recipes, like using beans in the place of hamburger:

Other than that, if you've got some carrots, make a pot of glazed carrots (made with brown sugar and butter)!. On the way to the barbecue, stop at the store and pick up a couple of cans of three-bean salad!. Make sure you bring a bowl to put them in, and a serving spoon!.
Have a good time! <*)))><Www@FoodAQ@Com

-Scallop potatoes are soo delicious!. You can't go wrong with them!.
-Corn on the cob with some butter!.

There are heaps of things you could make!.
And make sure you have deserts! Just something like fruit and ice cream is always great!.
I hope you have a wonderful time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
