Saturday is going to be an all day meat eating event. Will need some veggies to make everyone fill healthy. I was thinking of asparagus, mushrooms, and red peppers...or maybe green beans, onions, tomatoes? drizzle some olive oil and S&P, roast for 30mins at 350.
Sound good?

    wrap portions of asparagus in pancetta or bacon or even thicker cut prosciutto.

    a little olive oil brushed on, grilled somewhat low, rotate them as needed to even out the cook. good stuff

    Personally I like the Standard Green Bean Casserole served this time of year.

    Candied Yams are good too. Sweet Tater Casserole, Butternut or Acorn Squash roasted on the egg with butter and brown sugar. Indirect at 350.

    Wrap the Asparagus in bacon and cook indirect at 350 till the bacon is crisp.

    Stuff the mushrooms with the roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes and cheese. You're gonna need bigger mushrooms. :) Indirect at 350.

    you can cook some things right on the grill, fennel, beets, acorn squashes haved with butter brown sugar, cayenne and maple syrup. pineabble rings basted with butter sugar and sprinkled with cayenne is good too. threw out the beets cause i know it can be done, ihave never grilled a beet though ive seen posts where they were roasted. if you can find those oyster shrooms, those are incredible on a hot grill.

    I did some zucchini in a grill pan a few weeks ago and it turned out very nice. I just sliced the zucchini into 1/4"-thick rounds, tossed with olive oil, minced garlic and oregano and grilled in a grill pan for 15 minutes or so at 350* direct, stirring every few minutes. Once off the grill and still hot, I sprinkled with grated mozzarella and served immediately.

    Grilled Antipasto Salad
    http://bigtsbge.blogspot.com/2008/06/grilled-antipasto-salad.html
    This recipe for two is easily modified for multiples by adding extra peppers. Quick and tasty and can be used as an appetizer, salad or side dish; DSC00333.jpg
    Ingredients - Recommended
    2 Red Bell Peppers
    1 Green Bell Pepper
    2 Orange Bell Pepper
    2 oz Sun-Dried Tomatoes (marinated)
    2-3 Artichoke Hearts (8-10 marinated quarters)
    5 Tbsp EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
    3 Garlic Cloves (minced)
    2 Tsp Chili Sauce (minimum)
    2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
    Salt and Pepper

    Preparation Directions
    Peppers
    Slice peppers into 8ths and again in halves (bite size pieces), Place in bowl and set aside. Julianne the Sun-Dried tomatoes and set aside. Quarter the artichoke hearts and repeat (8ths) and set aside.

    Sauce
    Mince three garlic cloves and place in small mixing bowl, add EVOO, Chili Sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, Salt and pepper (Fresh Ground) to taste
    Whisk and set aside.


    Cooking Directions
    1. Heat up BGE to 500 degrees (open flame works just fine)
    2. Place peppers directly on grill (recommend you use a grill topper or vegetable basket)
    4. Grill for 15 minutes and don’t worry about the pepper skins getting black
    4. Remove from grill and place in bowl and cover with towel for 5 minutes
    5, Uncover and remove all blackened skins by pinching them and they will slide right off (or if you prefer you can leave on the toasted skins)
    6. Add the artichoke hearts (do not drain) and the Sun-Dried Tomatoes (do not drain) and place in pepper bowl
    7. Pour on Sauce, mix and serve immediately

    This is a real crowd pleaser:

    Cut up whatever you have but I like yellow squash, zuch, plum toms, red onion. Infuse about 4 tablespoons evoo with a clove or 2 of garlic. toss the veg in the oil. Put in a grill wok until the veggies are cooked (depends how much you have in the wok) about 20 minutes. When done put veggies in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let them steam. While they steam grill french bread that has been brushed with more evoo and garlic. Drizzle the veggies with balsamic vin and toss with fresh cut basil. serve the veggie on the bread and look out! Your guests will be fighting for the left overs and the juice that accumulates in the bowl to dip the bread in.
