There will be 8 of us tomorrow for a BBQ at our place - my parents, two uncles and aunts. The plan is:
- Steak (chicken for me)
- Green salad
- Roasted cherry tomatoes
- Asparagus? Corn?
Do I need more? Should I do asparagus and/or corn? I thought the roasted tomatoes were a bit different. Do I just keep the other sides super simple?
Help!

We love grilling portebello mushrooms!
Does your family not want carbs? Maybe a potato salad?
DH also loves doing a fish cause it's super easy & delicious; pretty much wrap it up w/ olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary & some other herb.

I agree with adding a potato or pasta salad. Yum!
How are you roasting the tomatoes?

@babyjmama: I found this online and it's awesome
2 pints grape tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh chives
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes, oil, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes are browned on bottom and begin to collapse, about 15 minutes. Toss with chives.

Pasta salad would be tasty with some of those roasted cherry tomatoes (after they cool down)!

have any of you done slow cooker baked potatoes? I'm so curious about this...some sites say the bowl will crack for not putting water in, others say it works..

Double stuffed potatoes are my favourite with steak and always a hit! They can be made ahead and just warmed at the bbq
Your meal looks Delish!

For me it's not a BBQ without baked beans!
And I would do the corn - corn on the cob is another BBQ staple for me.
