Summer Party Tips (What You Want To Know Wednesdays)

It’s the perfect season for an outdoor party – especially a fun barbeque! Here are some tips to throw the perfect summer get together.

Wash everything – Make sure to wash all tools and utensils after handling raw meat, and do not reuse plates.

Preheat your grill – Preheat your grill to make sure it reached the right temperature and will kill bacteria.

Plan ahead – You don’t want to have to run out and get supplies while you’re hosting your party.

Clean your grill – Make sure your grill is in tip top shape.

Marinate your meat – Marinating your meat over night, or using a dry rub will enhance the flavor. Also, instead of just serving hamburgers and hot dogs, get creative. You can make sandwiches, and salads, etc.

BBQ Sauce – Try a new type of sauce, such as teriyaki, hot sauce, chipotle, or Caribbean. You can also add bourbon, rum, beer, or wine to your sauce.

Traditional sides with a twist – Instead of an average potato salad, or coleslaw, find a unique recipe to add a different flavor.

Yard games - Set up croquet, horseshoes, or use spray paint to create a Twister board on your grass.
