5. Since you already have pasta, potatoes and a veggie, I would go with a salad, rolls (garlic bread or bruschetta), a beverage, & dessert (the cake) & ice cream. You could add an appetizer like stuffed mushrooms or shrimp cocktail. Or bbq some portobellas or veggie skewers - cherry tomatoes, chunks of onion, button mushrooms, mozzarella balls (or pineapple chunks). A tomato & cuke salad with sliced red onions w oil/vinegar - could be another side dish. Have a great party.
6. Cold slaw and baked beans.
7. Tossed green salad, sliced tomatoes, and a bowl of cut up fresh fruit [looks pretty on the table, nice 'palate cleanser' for the spicier side dishes]. Of course French bread or garlic bread [foil a whole loaf that you've cut partway thru in slices and drizzled garlicky butter in between slices--this can go on the BBQ to get crunchy-warm]. Also, fresh green beans cooked crispy then dressed with a vinaigrette - put dish beside the tossed salad as an add-on for the greenery.
8. Fresh mozzarella balls with basil and cherry tomatos in an olive oil vinagrette. To make the cheese: http://homecooking.about.com/od/cheeserecipes/r/bldairy22.htm
9. How about a seven layer salad! Take a 9 x 12 pan make a layer of shreeded iceburg a layer of sliced water chestnuts a layer of frozen peas a layer of miracle whip a layer of cheddar cheese a layer of crisp crumbled bacon 1 tsp sugar 1 layer shredded carrots marinate overnight
10. fried greenbeans is a good southern dish, tater salad,bean or potatoes cakes can get those recipes off the net they are good ,stuffed baked potatoes,
11. Good ole melon ball salad!
12. Sounds like garlic/cheese bread will go great.
