Are you planning a fun, yet socially responsible BBQ this weekend? Whether or not you are planning to have friends and family over, or you are celebrating with just those in your household, you probably want to have a fun time grilling up your favorite holiday foods.
Regardless if your 4th of July looks different or not, these tips for having a great BBQ will help you enjoy yourself and your time this weekend.
Tips for Having a Great BBQ
Plan your menu
You don’t want to wake up on the day of to try and figure out what you are going to be grilling. Start planning your menu right now so that you can spend the next couple of days prepping. Then, on Saturday, you can wake up and toss food on the grill! I love an easy, relaxing holiday celebration, don’t you?
Clean Your Kitchen
No one wants to play host with a dirty kitchen. No one wants to go to a BBQ hosted by someone with a dirty kitchen. Frankly, it’s a pain in the butt to host any kind of gathering and work in the kitchen while avoiding the mess. Clean your kitchen in advance and you will be far less stressed out.
Break Out the Disposable Dishes
I get why people don’t love paper plates and other disposable dishes, but let’s be real here. You are trying to celebrate a holiday and I highly doubt you want to spend your day washing dishes. I know I don’t. I wash dishes every single day of my life. I want a break from it once in a while, so on days like the 4th, I allow myself to indulge in disposable dishes.
Relax
Seriously, we have had a stressful year so far. It’s time for each of us to relax and unwind. We all deserve a stress free celebratory weekend!
