Grilling with friends.
Here are some tips to get your party started right.
The number one complaint most people have about throwing a party is that they have to do so much preparation and cooking that by the time the company arrives, they are exhausted.
People often underestimate the time it takes to prepare, and so leaving things to the last minute means that the food is not ready when the guests arrive.
It is hard to entertain and fix the food at the same time. A sit down meal can be a real ordeal. Multiple courses can be an issue as well.
Avoid this nonsense and have a BBQ instead. If you are going to have a barbeque get-together, plan ahead so that it is easy on the guests and the hosts. Know your menu.
Decide the week before what you will serve for the meal. Appetizers or finger foods, plus an array of salads, will allow guests to eat all sorts of things while they wait for the main course to finish on the grill.
Appetizers should be small, especially if you plan on serving a variety of grilled meats and vegetables. Try a veggie or fruit tray with some low calorie dip.
This is easy to make—you go to the store and pick one up! The name of the game here is to have fun and to do as much as you can ahead of time.
These appetizer trays have no preservatives so it’s okay to buy them pre-packaged from the store.
