I wish my boyfriend liked beans, those recipes sound yummy!! The following is a recipe that I think goes great with any kind of barbecue fare or chili:

Hearty Corn Cakes

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
3/4 cup stone ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup canola oil
2 large egg whites

Heat oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray butter flavor.
In large bowl, combine dry ingredients and make well. In small bowl, mix milk, honey, oil, and egg whites.
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Pour 1/4 cup batter into greased cups.
Lightly spray (one spray) tops of batter with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake until wooden pick comes out clean, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Makes 12 servings.

Variation: Add 1 cup frozen corn kernels to batter or add 1 drained 4.5-ounce can peeled and chopped green chilies.

I had this with ribs the other night!..I just used light cream cheese and added more dill, chives and parsley!

Southwest Salad

1 can whole kernel corn (or 1 cup frozen), drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 10 oz can Rotel, don't drain
1 avocado, diced (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1-3 tbsp lemon juice

Mix and serve!


Or you can do a veggie tray or a nice salad... or watermelon!

Oh that sounds amazing. Posting to save in 'my topics'!

Two Ideas come to mind. 1st a spinach salad.
Spinach, fresh strawberries, motazarella cheese, poppy seed dressing, mandarin oranges There are many variations to this-I think you can find it on Kraftfoods.com The sal;ad dressing really needs to be put on just before serving or it will get "wilted"--It is YUMMY-O
THe 2nd idea is cowboy baked beans.
32 oz baked beans
1/2 lb crumbled ground beef
5 slices of bacon crumbled
1 med onion
1/3 c brown sugar
1/3 c white sugar
1/4 c ketchup
1/4 c spicy BBQ sauce
1 T mustard
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 tsp chili powder

Bake 1 1/2---2 1/2 hours 300*
THis is a great side dish. My friend often makes it in her pampered chef pottery dish. it is wonderful delish!

I have made it and varied it a bit. I do not think it needs that much sugar. I also think ground turkey could be used and turkey bacon.
Have fun at your party.

How about broccoli slaw? I make it with equal parts of low fat mayo and vinegar and it is wonderful. My husband cannot stand broccoli, but will readily eat this.
