[figaromeetsmarie]

Chili over cream cheese served with tortilla chips
Pasta Salad
Brats
BBQ chicken sandwhices
Ribs
Corn on the Cobb
salad
Ice Cream Cake

What other side dishes should I make??

 

[Luv Bunnies]

Maybe add a potato salad and a fruit salad? Some garlic bread?

We're taking the easy way out and ordering pizza!!!!!

 

[polkadotsuitcase]

Sounds like a great spread already! If you need another side, though, how about baked beans? (Well, I guess unless your chili has beans in it...don't need *too* many fireworks, I suppose!)

We're going simple, but we're definitely making brownie sundaes for dessert!

We have a pot luck every year on the 4th. We are bringing dessert. I don't know what yet, DH is in charge of "dessert" at our house. He will make some bars of some sort.

Sounds yummy! I'd add fruit salad or watermelon!

I'm taking two side dishes to my sister's 4th of July celebration.
Baked beans (really good ones, with onions, green peppers, brown sugar, ketchup, bar-b-q sauce, mustard, and a lb of bacon)
and peaches and cream corn on the cob that we will cook on the grill. I'm also making a roasted garlic butter to spread on the cobs before grilling.

I love that Ramen salad, my Aunt brings it to every family get together.
I'm making a broccoli salad, it's basically broc, cauliflower, red onion, mixed with Ranch and I will add some candied nuts and golden raisins as well. It's very easy and very good.
I'm also considering making some red/white/blue cupcakes or something like that.
