The Essential BBQ Sides

Published about 3 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

I’m a side dish kind of girl, whether it’s Thanksgiving or the Fourth. The mains can have their moment, but I’m always circling back to the backup dishes ~ that’s where all the fun is.

Today I’m sharing my favorite summer barbecue side dishes, the kind that make the whole meal feel like a spread. Corn, beans, biscuits, salads, slaws… basically everything I want on my plate before I even get to the ribs.

No Knead Trail Mix Bread

"This is perfect bread! Making it again."

~ BETH

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

~ see you at the table!

Going big for a milestone Fourth ⭐

Hey friends❣️ I’m excited to share this project with you ~ we had such fun working on it. This milestone Fourth of July feels complicated to me. The usual flags-on-everything approach doesn’t feel quite right this year, so I’m going with a classic piece of Americana instead: the star quilt. And I’m making it into a charcuterie board.

Biscuits are my love language 🧡

Hey friends❣️ These hot honey cornmeal biscuits are a little gift from me to you. Biscuits are the easiest quick bread to make. Despite the name, these aren’t super hot or spicy, although you can fix that ;) Cornmeal and masa harina make them extra flavorful. They go with barbecue, chowders, chili…you name it. I made to-die-for fried chicken and coleslaw sammies with mine. Hot Honey Corn Biscuits get the recipe Did you know? You can set The View from Great Island as a trusted source on...
