Uncomplicate Your Cookout Plans

A backyard #cookout is one of the simplest ways to host friends and family, and it doesn’t require hours of preparation, says Piggly Wiggly Birmingham. Keep the menu straightforward: Focus on a main dish or two and a few sides. Hamburgers and hot dogs are the easiest to cook, but as you gain confidence at the #grill, you can expand your repertoire to include grilled chicken, fish and vegetable dishes — and pick up a ready-made potato salad, chips, corn and a watermelon to round out the meal plan. Summer is made for relaxing, so don’t feel you have to make a cookout complicated! #NoSweatSummerCookout
