Warm weather is nearly here, which means it is time to dust off those grills as we prepare for another grilling season! 

Grilling is a spring and summer staple in the Northeast — and yet making the most of this outdoor appliance's potential can feel intimidating. That's why we want to share three super helpful tips to observe as your prepare to break out your backyard BBQ and suit up for another "let's get ready to grill" season! 

Tip #1: Some Like It Hot

We know enough to preheat an oven, but preheating a grill is just as important! Placing meat on your grill too soon, before the grates are hot enough, can change the flavor of whatever it is you are cooking — and not in a good way. If you are working with a charcoal grill, you'll want to look for a thin gray coat of ash on the coals before grilling. If you have a gas grill, consider preheating on high, which can take approximately 10-15 minutes. When it comes to preheating your grill, whether it is charcoal or gas, patience is a virtue, but it's worth the wait.

Tip #2: Get Versatile with Vegetables

Grilling isn't just for meat-eaters! If you are strictly a vegetable lover, grills can work some serious magic when it comes to cooking up your favorite veggies. Grilling vegetables enhances the flavor in a way that other forms of cooking cannot. The best part? It's easy, with no fuss, no muss! Create a simple lidded pot by folding aluminum foil around carrots, whole onions, or broccoli for a steamed effect, or place veggies like peppers, zucchini, and eggplant (to name a few!) directly onto the grill. Your vegetables won't need more than a sprinkle of salt or a favorite seasoning after you remove them. Even just a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon can send the flavor soaring! 

Tip #3: Grill Your Fish

Grilling fish on an open flame can feel challenging, but consider this a time to experiment with some delicious potential! Firmer fish like salmon work beautifully on the grill and result in a tasty, crispy skin. Ready for a pro tip? After you've placed your fish on the grill, avoid moving it since movement can cause tearing and breaking of the fish. Another thing to note is that fish generally cooks quicker than meats like steak or chicken, so you'll want to keep your eyes on it. 

We hope these tips have been a helpful inspiration to get out there and grill this season!

National Picnic Day is April 23rd, and there is no better way to celebrate the warmer days that are arriving than by packing up a lunch and taking it outdoors! 

Are you wondering about the origin of the traditional picnic?

The word picnic derives from the French word piquenique and means to eat a meal outdoors. This tradition hearkens back to mid-18th-century al fresco French dining when all that was required was a bottle of wine, a loaf of warm bread, fruit with assorted cheeses, and tada!....a party under the open sky!

 For the U.S. version, picnics can take shape as outdoor barbecues or pack a lunch and go gatherings!

Either way, picnics are informal gatherings intended to join friends and family together, relax and indulge in some delicious dishes while soaking in the sun (or nighttime sky!). 

 Choice picnic foods to consider may be the traditional sandwiches and cold salad options, but you can kick it up a notch with items like BBQ chicken and pulled pork too!

The possibilities are endless.

And if you want a quick but impressive New England flair to your outside celebration, consider a B&M Catering Clambake! 

 Once you have the food selections narrowed down, scout out a favorite park or recreation area in advance and be ready to let your friends and family know April 23rd is the day to celebrate! Bring blankets and chairs, target park areas with both a bit of sun and shade, and enjoy the day with a meal under the sky. And don’t forget a layer or two to wear for the New England weather that likes to keep us on our toes! 

 Check out both our full-service catering menus online and our curbside menus for delicious options for any outdoor (or indoor!) celebration.

With Spring officially sprung, it’s time to start thinking about all things green, and that includes spinach!

On March 26th each year, this leafy green veggie is celebrated with National Spinach Day.

Packed with health benefits, spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, folic acid, fiber, protein, calcium, and vitamins A, C, and K. It is loaded with cancer-fighting antioxidants and is believed to help improve cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health too!

Talk about healthy; no wonder spinach is honored with its very own day!

The history of this healthy veggie is impressive. Spinach grows natively in central and southwestern Asia. It is thought to have originated in ancient Persia, where it was then carried into India and then later introduced into ancient China. There it was known as “Persian vegetable.”  

Spinach even has royalty in its backstory. During her reign as queen of France, Catherine de Medici enjoyed spinach so much; it was served at every meal. To this day, dishes made with spinach are known as “Florentine,” reflecting Catherine’s birth in Florence. 

If you are looking for some fun ways to serve up spinach to celebrate, consider a tasty spinach dip, a spinach pizza, or even add some of this green goodness to your scrambled eggs as you start your day!

Not in the mood to whip up your own spinach dish? Consider ordering one of our delicious mixed green salads from our curbside menu and celebrate National Spinach Day the healthy way!
