Cook Out Rut

Our 4th of July destination is Josh's new abode on Mt Washington. He isn't completely moved in.....in fact, barely moved in at all. He invited a few friends over, and I invited my sisters. Since he is brand new at the apartment, and has no dishes/pots/pans there yet, I volunteered to make the food. I sent Josh to Giant Eagle with a list of ingredients and then off he and Jon went to take another load of Josh's belongings to the city. I started in on the Pasta Salad, tossed salad, fruit salad and brownies; I pre-cooked some chicken we will cook on the new grill once we get there.
As I was testing the brownies, it hit me. This is the menu I make every 4th of July with very few variations.
I am in a cook out rut!
Perhaps I need to whip up some ambrosia or coleslaw to break up the routine. Naw.....it would be too big of a shock for everyone.
Happy Indpendence Day!

The food was great! It was a fun time and you were the main catalyst.
