Think a few different types of ground meat like chicken and turkey, different kinds of buns such as sourdough or pretzel, and all the toppings you can think of! Mmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don&#8217;t Forget Sides<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the centre of any BBQ is the food, so don&#8217;t overlook your sides! Salads and coleslaw are a great addition to any BBQ because they provide a light, and healthy reprieve from all that indulgent protein. Plus, it&#8217;s an excellent opportunity to use <a href=\"http:\/\/falconcresthomes.com\/blog\/6-tips-small-edible-garden\/\">vegetables<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/falconcresthomes.com\/blog\/6-herbs-to-plant-in-your-backyard-now\/\">herbs<\/a> from your own garden!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>DIY S&#8217;mores<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A portable fire pit is the perfect way to keep your at-home BBQ going. Pull up some chairs to stay cozy at night while making delicious s&#8217; mores. Kick it up a notch with your very own <a href=\"https:\/\/elisabethmcknight.com\/diy-smores-pot\/\">DIY S&#8217; more Pot<\/a>! All you need is a terracotta pot, some charcoal and, of course, cookies, marshmallows, and chocolate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make it a Movie Night<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There might be a limit to how much you can eat at a BBQ, but there&#8217;s no limit to how much fun you can have. Why not make it a movie night with a projector and a Bluetooth speaker? Add blankets and pillows to get cozy. If you have a little room leftover, make your own popcorn! Add a boost of flavour by using garlic or cumin, or try topping it with cheese or maple syrup!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re spending a lot of time at home, it&#8217;s easy to forget to make time for a little fun. Relax and unwind by planning a fun at-home BBQ and use our great ideas to kick it up a notch!
