BBQ Tips
The Dollar Store is your friend!
It is a great resource for summer
BBQ tools and paper products! These cute plates, runner and napkins are ALL from the Dollar Store!
Melamine plastic plates are reusable, lightweight and can be put in dishwasher. Choose a set that goes with your style and bring them out every summer. Less garbage & a greener approach.
Use a set of utensils you can wash in dishwasher & reuse, eliminates plastic garbage, or...

Use Bamboo Utensils that are bio degradable
like these here
A canopy is a great option for those unexpected summer showers, and provides needed shade on scorching summer days!
Use a charcoal chimney, instead of lighter fluid. Food tastes better too!
Having utensils organized is handy with a crowd.
Be creative! Load up mason jars, coffee cups, little tin buckets, small flower pots, cans or baskets with forks & knives. I found these wire baskets with a divider at a craft store, I loaded utensils on one side, and napkins on the other.
Ready to purchase utensil caddy's can also be found everywhere this time of year in all decor styles.
Get organized!

My husband received this cookbook quite awhile ago, and we have referred to it over and over again.

Shop BBQ Bible here
I hope you are inspired to gear up for BBQ season! There were many times we were not prepared, and wished we had some sort of "arsenal" of BBQ supplies!
I am excited to gather with the people I cherish again, and get grillin' !
Happy grilling! Happy summer! 🥩🍔🥓🌮🌞❤️
