It’s Bar-B-Que Time

With 4^th of July just a few days away, we know many of you have got to be planning for a huge get together. And nothing says 4^th of July like a back yard Barbeque. But you’re probably thinking…”Ugh! So much work. I have to slave away over the hot barbeque and miss out on all of the fun.” Not true, you just need to re-think how you do your barbeques.

Think Stations. Create areas in your yard for different food and beverage stations. Incorporate “Build Your Own” style bars for hot dogs and hamburgers and let your guests help themselves. You can have all of the condiments and fixin’s pre-done, thus allowing you more time to enjoy your party and really celebrate what the 4^th of July is all about.

Creating “Build Your Own” bars is fun and lets you get super creative. Plus “Build Your Own” bars take away the hassle of custom orders, you know…having to remember who is allergic to what, who is not eating gluten at the moment, etc. Just be sure to have everything at each station labeled so your guests know what’s what. And…there is no reason you can’t make all of the food “Build Your Own”. From Salad, to Drinks, to Dessert…if you take some time before the 4^th to prepare, you can create a station for all of the traditional 4^th of July goodies. 

Put the power of what your guests eat in their hands…and enjoy what a great time everyone is having (including you) this 4^th of July.
