HOW TO HAVE A GREAT BBQ
The weather is getting consistently warmer, and in Canada, this means one important
thing – the start of BBQ season. Now all you really need to have a great barbecue is good weather, good people and good food. That being said, here are some of Kitchen Charm’s favourite food and drink ideas to make your next barbecue the best one yet! 
Good Protein
Whatever you choose to throw on the grill for the day, whether it be hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, ribs or any vegetarian options, just make sure to choose good quality products! The “good stuff” is what smells great on the barbecue and gets everyone’s appetites ready! Try making hamburger patties from scratch, and use these tips HERE.
Good Sides
Any BBQ is not complete with a few good side dishes! Think salads (pasta salad, potato salad, or the healthy kind – lettuce salad), rice dishes, french fries, etc. Whatever your guests’ hearts desire!
Good Snacks
Snacks are probably the easiest and most fun part of the BBQ to prepare! Chips of any variety, nachos and guacamole are just some of our favourites! A bag of Nacho chips with a bowl of salsa can go A LONG way for a group of your guests!
Good Drinks
After all that strenuous eating, there needs to be something cold and refreshing (and non-alcoholic!) to wash down all the delicious food! Try making some homemade lemonade and adding fresh raspberries for a cool twist, or brew some homemade black iced tea with lemon! Even adding mint leaves to a large jug of water can be a ultra sophisticated.
