What’s good to bring to a BBQ?
Many times there isn’t a way to keep dishes cold, or to warm them up. And when you do have access to an oven or refrigerator it’s often times LOADED and there’s no room for your dish. That’s why I love side dishes I can throw in the cooler and know they’re ready to pull out and serve immediately.
