It is that time of year again, the schools are closing for the summer, the days have gotten longer and there is more time to spend with friends and family. Weekend cookouts are becoming a recurring theme for those looking to spend time with loved ones while still trying to stay on a budget with the rising costs of… Well let’s be honest, everything.
How do we still create some normalcy in our lives when prices have skyrocketed? We get creative!
In my family, when we have a family get together, one person will host and prepare the main item and everyone who is invited brings another element to complete the meal. Doing this gives responsibility to everyone to contribute to the meal. Someone makes the salad, someone gets the bread, someone else makes or buys the dessert, etc., etc. We all have busy lives and by splitting up the responsibility of the meal, it doesn’t fall solely on the host to do it all and to be the only one to take on the financial burden.
Food brings people together, it creates conversation, makes memories, and can encourage the use of your imagination to get creative with what you bring to the table. Maybe you saw this new recipe that you’re dying to try out but haven’t had the right opportunity yet. Make it for your extended family. Who knows, if everyone makes something different that they never made before, you could end up enjoying all new flavors and broadening your palate. How fun is that.
Father’s Day is this coming weekend and I know a lot of you will be hosting some sort of event to give thanks and love to the dads in your life. Most dads I know love to be in charge of cooking when it comes to the grill. Give him the gift of inspiring flavors to elevate those burgers, steaks, chicken and vegetables to another level making dad the star of the show for the day.
