Enjoy Fresh Air and a Cookout!: Recipes for a Backyard Picnic

Peter H.

 

Spring and summer provide various opportunities to enjoy warm weather. An outdoor supper is a great way to enjoy sunny days and warm evenings! 24/7 Local Pest Control loves to get outside, so we wanted to offer some of our favourite dishes so you and your family may eat.


 

Burgers and Hot Dogs – All-American burgers and hot dogs are crowd-pleasers that even your pickiest eater will enjoy. Create variety in your spread with different types of cheese, toppings and condiments. Stick with a classic burger or spice things up with a Chipotle Turkey Burger. Try these bacon-wrapped hot dogs for a twist on an old favourite.

 

 

Kabobs – Get your protein and veggies all in one! These are fun to personalize and are easy for kids to assemble. Whether it’s Hawaiian Kabobs with shrimp, pineapple and bacon or Cowboy Kabobs with beef, red bell peppers and onions, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

 

 

Grilled Chicken – Marinated chicken breasts, thighs, wings and drumsticks are grilling staples. BBQ chicken packs a tangy, smoky punch while buffalo chicken wings bring the heat. A great vegetarian option is a grilled cauliflower steak.

 

 

Fish Tacos – For a taste of the islands no matter where you are in the United States, give these fish tacos topped with mango salsa a try! Cilantro lime rice and beans are the perfect side dish for sweet and savoury tacos.

 

 

Of course, you’ll need something to wash all of these yummy dishes down. Watermelon lemonade is a fruity spin on a classic beverage. Sweet tea is another great option for a refreshing drink.

 

 

Don’t forget about dessert! Popsicles or a summer berry cobbler are perfect summertime sweets. For a fun, interactive dessert, try the homemade no-churn ice cream! All it takes is a couple of ingredients, rock salt and two zip-top bags. Kids will love being able to watch the magic (science!) behind this treat.

 

 

There’s no reason that your furry, four-legged friends can’t get in on this outdoor feast! With all of these great dishes for you and your family, your pets are sure to get jealous. Whip up a batch of homemade dog treats that will get your pet’s tail wagging.

 

If cooking isn’t your thing, don’t worry – order takeout from a local small business! Call your favorite pizzeria, Chinese restaurant or sandwich shop and have a picnic outside.

 

After spending a lot of time inside, getting out in your backyard is a welcome oasis! By referring your friends and family for 24/7 Local Pest Control services, you can Share the 24/7 Local Pest Control so your favourite people can stretch their legs and get some fresh air without itching and scratching. Plus, when you refer someone you know for a 24/7 Local Pest Control treatment, that means $25 off for you and your friend. It’s easy as pie!

 

 

With all these delicious dishes, make sure that the only thing getting bitten into is your dinner. Give your local 24/7 Local Pest Control a call to schedule your treatment for an itch-free yard. Don’t let mosquitoes and ticks make a meal out of you this spring and summer!
