What to eat at a cookout?

Probably too late of a suggestion now, but I'd bring a piece of fish and some veggie kabobs to share. Something like salmon can be thrown on the BBQ with delicious results and the kabobs will help fill you up and make you look like you are really eating.

Good luck!

I would skip the meat and enjoy the soft sides. Be very careful and really really chew chew chew up everything. The meat may or may not work for you right now, but I just think its better to try meat at home first. You have more control over making sure it is not overcooked and a quality cut.

My DH is BBQing steaks for us today and I will eat some, but I bought the meat for us and chose filet mignon. I find even NY steak (which is still a good cut of meat) can have stringy bits that don't work w/the band. Only the best meat for me now! LOL

Also, when you try meat for the first time, you will want to cut it up really really small. That's hard to do at a cookout w/hamburgers and hot dogs.
