Recipes the Whole Family Will Love

August 26, 2018 sfbadmin

Putting a meal on the table that your family will love every day is no mean feat. In fact, getting your family to ooh and aah over every meal at dinnertime is actually not a simple thing to achieve every day. These recipes that we will share with you are going to get your family taking Instagram-worthy photos of each meal before the first bite. They are easy to prepare, cook and also to clean up after.

Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon and Broccoli

Which child loves broccoli? We thought so. How about bacon? We are sure all the hands went up with this one. This dish takes the spin on your good old macaroni and cheese by incorporating some broccoli and topping it off with lots of crispy bacon. Make your usual pasta following the package instructions. Then add the broccoli in the last few minutes of cooking the pasta to leave it crunchy and fresh. Next, cook a luxurious sauce with the milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and cheese over a low flame until it thickens. Pour this sauce over your pasta and broccoli with a healthy sprinkling of bacon and serve hot.

Home-made meatball subs

Nothing beats a home-made sub loaded with meatballs, pasta sauce, and creamy cheese. This recipe calls for a simple meatball recipe comprised of ground beef, pork, combined with an egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper as well as some milk to bring it all together. All you need to do is knead these ingredients together and let the mixture rest for about half an hour before forming your meatballs and shallow frying them in your choice of cooking oil. Finally, using fresh bread rolls, create your subs by placing the meatballs in the freshly buttered bread and top it off with some pasta sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

Crispy baked chicken tenders crusted with Parmesan

Everybody loves some chicken tenders. How about upping the ante and baking them instead of deep frying them in oil? Furthermore, this dish is made more delectable by the crusting of Parmesan cheese on the outside. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into long but not too narrow strips. Secondly, create your batter by whisking eggs, Dijon mustard and paprika for a slight kick. In a second shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese for the crunchy coating. Dip each flour-dredged chicken tender into the batter, shaking off the excess and going into the breadcrumbs mixture. Repeat this twice before lining them on a baking sheet and baking them for 5-6 minutes on each side. A fantastic dinner served with a fresh garden salad and Dijon mustard as a dip.

These are just a few of the recipes that are out there that your family will definitely love on any day. Furthermore, for those nights you could just not be bothered to whip up an elaborate meal, you can make these quick yet healthful and tasty fixes. Moreover, the prep time and clean up time for these meals is super quick making it a triple win for family dinner times.

Host A New England Style Clambake

Nothing screams summer like an authentic New England style clambake. A New England Clambake is a tradition that dates back over 100 years and is regularly observed to date during summer. This traditional practice marks the day, hundreds of years ago, when the First European Settlers learned how to cook in a pit, a concept the Native Americans taught them. Today, to be able to host a successful New England Style Clambake, all you need is a sunny and sandy seashore, loads of clams and sausage, corn and potatoes, coal for your grill and a nice grill set-up. Here is how all these play out to helping you host a New England style clambake.

Traditional Style Cooking

Look for a sandy and sunny seashore near you, whose laws permit you to grill in the open near the ocean. Once you have selected a nice spot, you can begin to set your grill up. First and foremost, you have to dig a shallow, oblong hole in the sand. Secondly, line this hole with large stones, on top of which you can then lay your coals. Next comes your wood which you should light and allow to burn for a while, about an hour or two, after which you will rake off the ashes. Lastly, set your grill up on top of some blocks of cinder and ensure that it is stable.

Loading on the ingredients

A classic New England clambake must comprise of loads of clams, sausage, some corn, and potatoes. Additionally, be sure to have seaweed on which you will pile your ingredients. The trick is to layer the ingredients, with the ones that take longest to cook being placed at the bottom. Naturally, the potatoes or starchy tubers will come first, followed by a layer of seaweed on which you will add the corn, followed by the sausage and finally, the clams.

Cover to cook

After covering the last layer of clams with seaweed, it’s time to throw on a sea-water soaked burlap sack. The cooking will take about an hour, during which all the clams should have opened and the potatoes will have become tender. Remember to pour seawater over the burlap sack as needed during cooking. As you wait to feast on your New England clambake, this would be a good time to enjoy some drink as you frolic on one of our gigantic beach-side water slides.

Serve

Set up your New England Clam Bake on your beach blankets and get ready to enjoy a massive feast whose roots begun over a hundred years ago.

Summertime is a great time to sample and try new ideas such as the New England Clambake as detailed above. Be sure to gather your friends around and try your own clambake, it is such fun and will get you and your friends in on the action. For more fun, contact us to hire any of our mega-sized water slides today. We deal in all types and sizes of waterslides that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.

Keeping Safe In The Summer Heat

During summer, you want to make the most of the summer sun before the chilly fall weather sets in. Summer always seems to rush by, and the colder months drag along. Understandably, this would make you want to stay out longer in the sun, getting that tan in as much as you can before you have to pack the shorts away.

As you enjoy time in the sun, be sure to stay safe in the heat of summer. It is likely that one can get sunstroke, heat stroke or even a nasty sunburn if you do not take the following precautions.

Take lots of fluids

During summer, you are bound to lose more water through perspiration than in the colder months. It is wise to keep a cold drink close by and sip from it often; do not wait until you are thirsty to drink. Furthermore, avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks because they can actually dehydrate you! The best drink to reach for is a cool bottle or glass of water. However, you should avoid very cold drinks as these are known to cause stomach cramps.

Stay indoors

What? Stay indoors during summer? Well, when the temperatures are really high, especially in the early afternoons, you should stay away from the direct sun. By staying indoors, you can choose to take your outdoor fun indoors to a mall for some shopping or a movie theatre to catch the latest blockbuster. A few hours in an air-conditioned area will help your body to stay cooler once you get back outside under the sun.

Your dressing

During summer, choose light-weight, airy fabrics to keep your skin free from any build-up of sweat. Furthermore, you should wear clothes that are loose-fitting and have light colors, not dark colors. It is a widely proven fact that dark colors absorb heat while light colors deflect it away from you. Additionally, you should put on a wide-brimmed hat to protect your head, face, neck, and shoulders from the sun’s glare. Don’t forget to put on some sunscreen with a high UV filter to protect your skin.

Children and pets

Keep children and pets in shady areas away from the direct glare of the sun. Ensure that you apply child-sensitive sun-screen on your children before you step out with them. Furthermore, ensure that they are well hydrated by keeping them on fluids continually. Do not, under any circumstances, leave children or pets in a locked car even for a few minutes, this is very dangerous.

If you observe these tips, you are sure to enjoy your summer without rushing to the ER this year. Another great way to keep safe in the summer heat is renting any one of our waterslides which come with a shaded area to protect you from the sun as you keep cool in the water. We have a wide variety of waterslides that can fit in your backyard for some cooling summer fun. Contact us today and we will be sure to provide you with what you need this summer.

VR Fun For The Whole Family

Until a few years ago, many people did not understand what virtual reality (VR) is about. To many people, VR still is a fantasy issue among technologists and storytellers. Other people still consider virtual reality a thing for kids. However, with the advancement of technology, it is now possible to have VR fun for the whole family. There is more fun and enjoyment to anything once it is shared with loved ones, family, and friends. The same principle is applicable to experience and games that could create fond memories and the best way to do this is by participating as a family. So why don’t you gather your family members for VR fun? If you are not sure how to go about it, here are some useful tips.

Invite your family to share the VR fun

It can be a daunting task to settle for a game that is fun for everyone. However, most headsets have different types of games. It is advisable to download a couple of them to cater to the tastes and preferences of each of your family members. Make sure that you seek the opinion and preferences of everybody lest you leave some out of the fun.

Personalize the VR space

Most VR headsets come with an option of customizing as well as decorating how things appear once you view them from the headset. Try different aspects of the VR space to make sure that you create the best experience for the whole family. Nevertheless, it is important to note the not all headsets are customizable.
