We are having a BBQ for my son this weekend. Here are thirteen things I will be cooking:
1. Potato Salad.
2. Fresh Fruit Salad.
3. Macaroni Salad.
4. Pasta Salad. The difference between the pasta and macaroni salad is that one is made with Mayo and one with Italian dressing.
5. Black Bean Hummus.
6. Carrot Cake. This is a great carrot cake from the May or June Cooking Light Magazine.
7. Blueberry Cake. SO easy. Get a Vanilla or Lemon cake mix. Make to directions and then dump in blueberries. YUM!
8.Toss Salad.
9. Chicken
10. Hot Dogs
11. Hamburgers
12. I am sure that my husband will want some kind of shrimp or fish.
13. And, this is where I sit down and collapse with a bottle of wine! LOL!
The purpose of Thursday Thirteen is to meet new friends and spread comment love. Go over to all things Thirteen to see who is playing.

I’m sure this will be one great party!!! Lotsa food on the table!
Happy Thursday!
My invitation must have been lost in the mail! Sounds delicious! My TT is also posted.
All sounds yummy! We are having a BBQ on Sunday for my daughter’s 6th birthday party. The Black Bean Hummus sounds yummy…do you have a recipe? I would love to get that for this weekend!
Black bean hummus? I may need the recipe for that one!
I wouldn’t mind crashing this there barbecue of yours… I love these sorts of parties (in fact, it’s the sort of entertaining most of our friends do. Casual, fun, easy.).
Hope yours is great!
Sounds yummy. Have fun and happy TT.
I didn’t know the difference b/n pasta and macaroni salad…I use a little of each. The blueberry cakes sounds easy. Enjoy and at least you can get most of it done ahead of time.
Sounds a lot like the menu for my family’s Father’s Day BBQ last weekend, except we had pies instead of cakes (but Blueberry cake sounds yummy!!!). Hope yours is great.
Why do you guys call it “Toss Salad”? Down here (in the not-really-the-south) we call it “Tossed Salad” so what I need to know is if it’s a totally different thing and if I’ve been missing out on something good!
YUM for cookouts!
Yummy, can I come??
Thanks for visiting my Litha TT!
I have a great recipe for crunchy cole slaw (made with asian vinegary dressing as opposed tot he typical creamy dressing). E-mail me if you want…it’s been a huge hit everywhere I have brought it!
Wow, you’re going to be busy!
Can I come?
Happy TT!
Yup, everyone can come.
I will post the Hummus recipe when I get home.
SciFi: I live for the day when I am not BUSY!
Thats the second TT I’ve seen about people BBqing this weekend! I’m so jealous.
A typical summer cook-out! Now that’s living! (As long as I don’t have to do the cooking).
I’ll get in line for some of that carrot cake, Nancy. A burger would be nice too…
I love bbqs, this sounds like a great weekend. Add in a nice water gun fight if it is hot enough, makes any bbq much better
Sounds like you’ve got some good eating planned there. Have fun
We always make coleslaw. Mmmmmmmm. This sounds awesome. Hope you have a great time.
Make that TWO bottles of wine!
What a terrific menu. I love carrot cake.
I would like to have what you’re cooking - please
Sound like it will be a fun BBQing with your son — I hope you enjoy it
