Fall Barbecues

Although this weekend heralds in Autumn 2013 , you can still eat like it's summer. There will still be warm and even moderately warm days when you can still barbecue. You can  cook outside even when there's a  chill in the air .In fact it's better  thanks to the cooling temps. Fall also  lets you experiment too with the produce of the season as well.

Thanks to Indian summer days you can still have your faves. There's nothing like hot dogs or hamburgers after a good football game. They'd be even good for an football get together. Now that most of the broiling days are over with you can also experiment  with slow cooking meats such as lamb or whole roasted birds. It;s also the time to try out different techniques too. You can try pulled pork or beef too. This is also the time to try barbecuing a whole turkey.It can be done and once perfected a nice spin for when Thanksgiving comes along.

Again just because it's fall doesn't  mean you have to give up your salads and slaws. For a transitional spin think about adding those  autumn standards, apples and pears to your salads. A tasty salad, is arugula, apples slices and walnuts with a sweet berry dressing.Another delicious one isa blend of pears , blue cheese and pecans with baby spinach. Kale is again starting to be seen again. A plain kale salad always a good side to beef or pork ribs. You can also try it  in a healthy slaw blended with cabbage.

Don't put away the grill and the picnic table because it;s fall. You still have two more months of great grilling and outdoor eating . Enjoy it with the cooler temps and still bright sunny days,
