Tips for throwing the perfect summer BBQ
1. Prepare as much food as you can ahead of time. This is something I always do, as I do not like to be stuck in the kitchen prepping and cooking while others are out enjoying the great outdoors. If I am making a fruit salad, for instance, I will cut up the fruit a couple of hours before the party, and clean it up as I go. I also chop any veggies that will be used on our burgers. I gather all of the items my husband will need for the barbecue (salt, pepper, serving tray, etc.), so I am not running in and out of the house constantly while trying to have a conversation with my guests.
2. Ask others to bring a dish. I am always happy to bring something when we are invited to someone’s house, mostly because I know how helpful it is. In fact, last night we were at a BBQ at a friend’s house and everybody brought a dish. The hosts only had to BBQ the meat. It was PERFECT, and my friend who was hosting was so glad she did it this way.
3. Use a cooler. As you can probably tell, not only do I like to keep myself out of the kitchen, I try to keep others out as well. It’s nothing personal, but it’s just simpler that way. We always place a couple of coolers in the backyard – one for “adult beverages” and one for kids drinks. Everyone can help themselves and not have to grab drinks from the refrigerator. It also helps, as I need my precious refrigerator space for the food!
4. Compose a music playlist a couple of days before. What BBQ is complete without some awesome tunes? I try to include a nice variety of music (depending on my guests), in my long playlist. Right before the party starts, I plug my phone into a portable speaker and let it play throughout the party. It is also fun to listen to music while setting up for the party!
5. Make sure you have enough seats. A day or so before your party, go ahead and set up your yard. We like to make several conversation areas, so guests can mix and mingle as they like. If you need to borrow or rent chairs, do that. We like our guests to be comfortable and ideally have enough seats for everyone.
6. The more finger foods, the better! If you can get away with meals that folks can eat with their fingers, it is always a great idea to do so. This is especially helpful with appetizers and desserts.
