Grilled vegetable sticks make for a festive side dish instead of the traditional barbecue.  Play around with the vegetables you use by adding seasonal vegetables available, from young corn or even portabello mushrooms.  Enjoy it with a different blue cheese dressing or go Filipino with a touch of barbecue flavored sauce.  Use lemongrass sticks for a different flavor.
