Pulled Pork menu ideas needed
We are having a big pool party this Saturday to celebrate DS's 5th birthday. It is a family/close friends party of about 30 people. Normally I would bbq but it is too time consuming and I really want to be able to focus on the kids, since it is a birthday party after all.
I have been making pulled pork for a while now, thanks to the BBB but I have never served it at a party. I'd love suggestions for side dishes AND a suggestion for an alternate main dish (since I am not sure everyone will eat this).
My side dish ideas so far are:
-store bought coleslaw (never made fresh before)
-corn on the cob
-baked beans
-orzo pasta salad (but the recipe I use has olives and feta cheese so I am not sure it goes)
Other main dish ideas are:
turkey sausage and peppers
chicken breasts (marinated and grilled earlier in the day and then warmed up)
My only criteria is that I want it to be something that can be prepped ahead and then just reheated (if a hot food). My guests are very varied from extremely picky eaters to people that will try anything to very healthy eaters. I will have hot dogs on hand as I KNOW that I'd be hard pressed to please everyone (unless I did baked ziti which I really don't want to do).
Any thoughts/ideas appreciated!
