Nanny to Mommy

With spring’s arrival, we can all begin looking forward to all the fun times that the warmer months will bring. And is there anything more enjoyable than spending a long afternoon in the yard with friends and family, enjoying a fantastic BBQ? This has been off-limits for longer than normal, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. But now? We can begin to dream of those deeply enjoyable moments again.

So let’s not leave anything to chance. Let’s ensure that your BBQ is perfect. In this blog, we’ll look at five steps that’ll make it one to remember for all the right reasons.

The food on the BBQ will take center stage, but the overall ambiance is important too. There’s a big difference between enjoying a BBQ in a well-landscaped yard and eating in an outdoor space that looks like it hasn’t been touched in years. So if your yard isn’t looking in the best shape, then look at making some improvements. The good news about this is that even a little bit of effort can go a long way! If you add some greenery, make the yard private, and all-around ensure that it’s presentable, then you’ll be on the right track.

If you’re going to have a perfect BBQ, then be sure to invest in food that people will love. While you can always pick up cheap hamburgers from the store, there’s nothing all that special about that! So why not invest in the best? A lamb rack from Superior Farms will have all your guests salivating while the food is cooking. And of course, they’ll love it when it’s ready to be eaten. You might want to have some extra hot dogs and burgers to hand so people can eat until their heart’s content, but it’s worthwhile investing in a couple of standout ingredients to make the day extra special.

It’s not just about the meat! That’s just the star of the show. A perfect BBQ will have plenty of extras to hand. Do you have snacks that your guests can eat while the meat is on the grill? Are there sides? Depending on the type of BBQ, you might ask your guests to bring these things. As well as the food, think about the drinks. There’s nothing better than enjoying a BBQ with a delicious beer or glass of wine in hand.

People might begin the BBQ standing around and socializing, but once they’ve eaten, they’ll be inclined to rest a little. After all, if you’ve fed them well, then they’ll be ready to let their food digest. You can make sure that they’re able to do so by investing in a range of seating options, including comfortable chairs and loungers.

Finally, don’t forget the fun! There should be a summer playlist filling the air when the food is being prepared. After people have eaten, look at playing some fun yard games -- it’ll be a great day.
