I need a dish to pass for a cookout. It's sweltering hot... suggestions on things that won't immediately mush & melt when brought outside?

    Pigs in a blanket?

    You didn't provide enough specifications. Is this a main dish, side dish, dessert? Are you looking for low-cal? Do you want something traditional or a little different?

    Any of the above. We weren't given any parameters. But I don't like dessert, so I was going side dish. They're grilling burgers/brats.

    Joe - Beer is a given. :P

    It's simple enough. Not super healthy though.

    A quinoa salad will hold up nicely in the heat.

    I'm eating 3.5 grams of mushrooms for the 4th of July. Low carb baby.
