										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing says barbecue like making a <strong>homemade BBQ ribs recipe</strong>. Some foods remind you of ‘Home Sweet Home’.

One such recipe that calls for remembering your home is the Classic Barbecued Pork Ribs.

<h3><strong>BBQ Ribs Recipe Ingredients:</strong></h3>
<p>Pork ribs &#8211; 4 lbs</p>
<p>1 tsp smoke salt</p>
<p>1 tbsp paprika</p>
<p>1 tbsp garlic powder</p>
<p>1/2 tsp ground red pepper</p>
<p>3/4 cups brown sugar <em>(light colored variety preferred)</em></p>
<p>2 cups barbecue sauce <em>(use your favorite brand or flavor)</em></p>
<h3>Barbecue Ribs Directions:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Pre-heat the oven to 150°C. Meanwhile take out the rough tissue from the bony side of the pork ribs.</li>
<li>In a bowl mix salt, paprika, garlic powder, ground red pepper and sugar.</li>
<li>Now rub the mix on the pork ribs using your fingers.</li>
<li>On a baking tray arrange for two layers of foil and place the ribs with the meaty side down. Now lay two layers of foil on the ribs and seal the edges by crimping the edges of the top and bottom foils upwards.</li>
<li>Cook for about 2 hours and 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Remove from the oven and check if the meat has shrunk away from the bones. If yes then its done, else put it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.</li>
<li>Heat the broiler and meanwhile cut the ribs into portions that are can be served. You can cut 2 to 3 ribs together.</li>
<li>Now arrange the ribs on the broiler with the meat side facing down.</li>
<li>Brush the barbecue sauce on the bony side and wait for it to bubble. Once that happens to flip the side and repeat the same on the other side.</li>
<li>Your pork ribs are done.</li>
</ol>
<p>This summer barbecue works well with all sorts of meat like lamb and chicken apart from pork. You can even grill the meat once it is out of the oven. The use of foil while baking helps keep the flavors and juice intact and helps you toss up a succulent dish. Do share if you can think of any interesting twists to this recipe. It would be great to hear from you.</p>

<p>The 4<sup>th</sup> of July is here and what better way to celebrate than with savory bbq food, friends and family? I love bringing out patriotic red, white and blue colors and sprinkling in summer colors and dinnerware to set the scene. I’m excited to of paired with <a href="http://www.villeroy-boch.com/themes/barbecue-bbq.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Villeroy &amp; Boch</a> to feature their new BBQ Passion and Pizza Passion lines. If you remember in the past I’ve highlighted the gorgeous dinnerware, crystal ware and entertaining ideas on Stagetecture with Villeroy &amp; Boch. Of course you and I will never forget the unforgettable night in Frankfurt, Germany I spent with <a href="https://stagetecture.com/amazing-night-with-villeroy-boch-blogtourambiente/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BlogTourAmbiente and the Villeroy &amp; Boch</a> family!</p>

<p>Today I want to show you how to bring patriotic colors together with their lovely <a class="easyazon-link" href="https://stagetecture.com/product/B01GHK8IQE/US/stagetectur05-20/?cart=y" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-cart="y" data-cloak="y" data-identifier="B01GHK8IQE" data-locale="US" data-localize="y" data-popups="n" data-tag="stagetectur05-20">white dinnerware</a> to set a memorable 4<sup>th</sup> of July BBQ table this holiday season.</p>

<h4><strong>Set your 4<sup>th</sup> of July table with party food and patriotic colors</strong></h4>
<p>While the traditional red, white and blue are a necessity I always like to bring in summer colors such as pops of yellow and green to give the table dimension. I started off with red burlap fabric and denim fabric runners for added texture under the table settings. I think it’s fun to mix and match patterns! So I used nautical blue and white striped napkins and red linen napkins to bring a casual and formal mix to the table.</p>
<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82495" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg" alt="Villeroy and Boch_4th of July BBQ steak plate" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate.jpg 700w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-225x300.jpg 225w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-390x520.jpg 390w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-45x60.jpg 45w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-steak-plate-300x400.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>Villeroy &amp; Boch’s Nek Mini Vase in Deep Cherry and the Numa Vase in Midnight Sky held my happy sunflowers perfectly. When I have a lot of dishes on the table I like to keep the centerpiece simple.</p>
<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82494" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg" alt="Villeroy and Boch_4th of July BBQ ideas" width="700" height="933" srcset="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas.jpg 700w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-225x300.jpg 225w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-390x520.jpg 390w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-45x60.jpg 45w, https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Villeroy-and-Boch_4th-of-July-BBQ-ideas-300x400.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<h4><strong>Choosing the right dinnerware to fit your bbq party food recipes</strong></h4>
<p>Villeroy &amp; Boch’s new BBQ Passion line includes beautiful steak plates in two sizes to fit your entertaining needs. I enjoyed how they have a sauce indentation in the dish that enables you to put your condiments or favorite sauces right there on the plate without interfering in your presentation. I also used their Artesano dip bowls and trays for <a class="easyazon-link" href="https://stagetecture.com/product/B0027UKBUA/US/stagetectur05-20/?cart=y" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-cart="y" data-cloak="y" data-identifier="B0027UKBUA" data-locale="US" data-localize="y" data-popups="n" data-tag="stagetectur05-20">barbecue sauce</a> and horse radish – perfect for the shish kebabs! The beautiful wood Artesano Salad Servers complement any salad you&#8217;d like to serve your guest in the Artesano Original Salad Bowl.</p>

<h3><strong>Decorating in style with colorful accessories for your holiday table</strong></h3>
<p>One of the elements that is often forgotten when decorating a festive table is to bring color through glasses.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot Dogs are definitely a classic and can’t be missing from any decent BBQ party. A Labor Day BBQ is no exception. To take it a step further and make the plain old Hot Dog <a href="https://stagetecture.com/2014/08/celebrate-the-labor-day-holiday/">Labor Day </a>worthy, try this super yummy twist for them by adding bacon and cheese which takes the Hot Dogs to a new level of flavor. If you don’t have plans for throwing BBQ party on Labor Day, just pop the Bacon Wrapped Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs in the oven to grill them there. You can take them with you for a picnic, although the best way to eat them is when the cheese is still melted and the bacon crispy. Follow the simple recipe and steps to prepare them in a few minutes.</p>

<li>Grill the hot dogs at about 350 F for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked through and really crispy.</li>
<li>Allow the hot dogs to cool down for at least 5 minutes and then remove the toothpicks, so the bacon won&#8217;t unwrap.</li>
<li>Place one hot dog into each bun and add some mustard, ketchup or any other sauce of your choice. You can also add some kind of salad or any other toppings you like with your hot dogs. Enjoy them while they are still warm!</li>

<h2>Preparation</h2>
<ul>
<li>Preheat oven to 400°F.</li>
<li>Season the chicken breasts or thing and legs in a large bowl with grill seasoning, poultry seasoning, black pepper, and salt.</li>
<li>Take a medium frying pan and heat two tablespoons of olive oil in it. Put the chicken and fry each side for a few minutes until they become brown. It will help removing some of the drippings and flavors of the chicken into the pan.</li>
<li>Transfer the chicken into the oven and roast for 15 minutes or more or until their juices run clear.</li>
<li>In the meantime, cool pancetta or bacon after adding one more tablespoon of olive oil into the pan. Cook until the pancetta or bacon becomes crisp. Now, add chopped rosemary, garlic, and onions to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. After that, add ½ cup of chicken stock, vinegar, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes or more at low heat. This is your barbecue sauce.</li>
<li>Now, take another frying pan and bring the milk and the remaining 1-1/2 cups of chicken stock into a boil. Whisk in polenta and season with black pepper and salt. Now, whisk the mixture for 2 or 3 minutes until it becomes thick. Stir in cheese and butter and remove from heat.</li>
<li>Remove the chicken pieces from oven and transfer them in a large plate. Turn in barbecue sauce.</li>
<li>Take four bowls and fill the bottom with polenta mixture. Place the chicken pieces over them. Pour the extra sauce over the chicken pieces. Finally, garnish with some basil leaves and serve.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Tips</h2>
<ul>
<li>If you want to make a quick meal, just use premade polenta.</li>
</ul>

<h4><strong>BBQ Tips: Summer Grilling Dos and Don&#8217;ts</strong></h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_52059" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-52059" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/summer-kitchen-mediterranean.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-52059" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/summer-kitchen-mediterranean.jpg" alt="summer kitchen mediterranean" width="500" height="366" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-52059" class="wp-caption-text">Planning on grilling this season? Look at these do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts tips</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Houzz</em></p>
<h2>Do:</h2>
<h3>Inspect and Clean the Grill Thoroughly</h3>
<p>Inspect the grill to make sure it doesn’t have rust and its vents are working properly. Clean the burner of fat and grease as these can provide fuel for a fire if left neglected. If you have a gas grill, make sure its hose doesn’t have any holes or leaks. Hook up the hose properly and ensure all connections are working.</p>
<h3>Keep the Grill At Least 10 feet from your House</h3>
<p>Keep the grill far from your house to reduce the risk of fire. Make sure it is out of high-traffic areas where children and pets can’t bump into it. Additionally, don’t place it under wooden overhangs as fire can erupt into the structure above. This rule applies to both gas and charcoal grills.</p>
<h3>Create Zones of Varying Heat</h3>
<p>When grilling with charcoal, move the coals to one side so that they incline towards the centre. This way, you have one hot zone for direct heat and a less hot one for indirect heat. When your barbecue is almost done, you can move it to the less hot side to prevent it from burning.</p>
<figure id="attachment_49804" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-49804" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/outdoor-summer-kitchen-area.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-49804" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/outdoor-summer-kitchen-area.jpg" alt="outdoor summer kitchen area" width="500" height="555" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-49804" class="wp-caption-text">This summer ensure your grilling is enjoyed by all</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Homes</em></p>
<h2>Don’t:</h2>
<h3>Char Meat</h3>
<p>You may love the charred and crispy bits on grilled meat, but such meat isn’t good for your health. It may contain cancer-causing chemicals formed when meat is grilled at high temperatures over an open flame.</p>
<figure id="attachment_66021" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66021" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Charred-meat.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66021" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Charred-meat.jpg" alt="Summer Grilling Tips" width="500" height="306" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66021" class="wp-caption-text">Never char meat when grilling</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: America&#8217;s Test Kitchen</em></p>
<h3>Cover the Grill When Cooking Meat Directly Over Coals</h3>
<p>This is a grilling mistake many people make. Covering the grill causes the meat to release fat drippings which turn into puffs of foul-tasting smoke when they hit the coals. The smoke gives your food a bad flavor. When grilling, build a multi-level fire and pay close attention to the meat.</p>
<figure id="attachment_66256" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66256" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/grilling-food.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66256" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/grilling-food.jpg" alt="grilling food" width="500" height="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-66256" class="wp-caption-text">Cook all food as long as neccesary &#8211; not more or less</figcaption></figure>

<p>Summer brings with it many backyard parties and quick meals on the grill. Without proper caution however, lovely barbeques can quickly turn into disasters. Use these summer grilling tips to make your food tasty and healthy.</p>

<p>This winter there are several reasons to celebrate with food and the Superbowl is one of the best ones for finger foods.

<p align="center"><i>Image via: Better Homes and Gardens </i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Ingredients:</h2>
<p>1 4-6 pound pork butt</p>
<p>½ small onion</p>
<p>1 tablespoon minced garlic</p>
<p>1 6 ounce can of tomato paste</p>
<p>1 12 ounce can of beer</p>
<p>¼ cup cider vinegar</p>
<p>3 tablespoons brown sugar</p>
<p>2 tablespoons Dijon mustard</p>
<p>2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce</p>
<p>1 teaspoon smoked paprika</p>
<p>1 teaspoon lemon juice</p>
<p>¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes</p>
<p>Salt and pepper</p>
<p>24 Hawaiian slider rolls</p>
<p>Coleslaw, for topping</p>
<p>Pickle slices, for topping</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<figure id="attachment_61953" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-61953" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/pulled-pork-slider-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-61953" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/pulled-pork-slider-.jpg" alt="Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Slider " width="500" height="500" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-61953" class="wp-caption-text">Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders</figcaption></figure>
<p align="center"><i>Image Via: Top Appetizer Recipes</i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Procedure:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Chop the onion and garlic very finely.</li>
<li>Sauté the onion and garlic over low heat until the onion is translucent and the garlic becomes fragrant.</li>
<li>Add in the tomato paste. Use the beer to thin out the  paste until it becomes the consistency of ketchup.</li>
<li>Stir in the cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.</li>
<li>Cover the mixture and allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it thickens into the consistency of a barbeque sauce. Adjust seasonings to taste. (<b>Note: </b>If stored in an airtight container and refrigerated, this sauce will last for up to a week. Feel free to make it in advance.)</li>
<li>When ready to make the sliders, dry the pork butt thoroughly with paper towels and season it generously with salt and pepper.</li>
<li>Put the pork into a slow cooker and top it with the barbecue sauce. Cook on high for 5 hours or on low for 8 hours.</li>
<li>Before serving, use two forks to shred the pork into pieces.</li>
<li>Pile the pork high onto the Hawaiian slider rolls. Garnish with a dollop of coleslaw and two pickle slices.</li>
</ol>
<p>The rule of thumb for finger foods like sliders is to make sure you prepare enough for each guest to have three pieces. This recipe will comfortably serve 7-8 people, but it could easily be doubled to feed a crowd. In fact, err on the side of caution with this one. These slow cooker pulled pork sliders are so delicious that your guests will be begging for more.</p>

<p>People start observing the <a href="https://stagetecture.com/inspiration/holiday/" target="_blank">Labor Day holiday</a> since 1880s to show honor to the workers for their contributions to the society. Like other holidays, people celebrate the day with parties, outdoor activities, traveling, cooking, and enjoying time with their family. Throwing a party is a very common Labor Day activity. Check out these theme ideas for your Labor Day party:</p>
<figure id="attachment_54205" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54205" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/American-flag-collage.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54205" alt="American flag collage" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/American-flag-collage.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54205" class="wp-caption-text">Happy Labor Day! How will you celebrate the day?</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: LoulaM via Flickr</em></p>
<div></div>
<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-1]</p>
<div></div>
<h3><strong>Southern States Theme</strong></h3>
<p>Southern states can be the theme of your party that will celebrate the trends and culture of the country’s southern states and Hawaii. You can create a combination of exotic Hawaiian and typical southern atmosphere by decorating your yard with tiki torches and red, white, and blue Christmas lights. Fill the air with some compilation of Hawaiian music alongside scores of jazz and blues. Choose a menu that includes southern recipes along with a few traditional items.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54207" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54207" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Patriotic-desserts.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54207" alt="Patriotic desserts" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Patriotic-desserts.jpg" width="500" height="600" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54207" class="wp-caption-text">Patriotic desserts &#8211; Bring out your favorite desserts like Southerner&#8217;s love to do!</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Pinterest</em></p>
<h3><strong>Old-Fashioned Block Party</strong></h3>
<p>An old-fashioned block party is a great way to know your neighbors, especially if you have newly shifted into a neighborhood. Without arranging for everything, ask the guests to bring games, music, and food to share. To make the party interesting, you can throw an old-fashioned dance party that can be enjoyed in the warm night. Dancing under the stars with retro dress up and swing music or big band will be a treat to everyone.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54209" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54209" style="width: 486px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-desserts-smores.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54209" alt="patriotic desserts smores" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-desserts-smores.jpg" width="486" height="462" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54209" class="wp-caption-text">Patriotic desserts smores</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Party City</em></p>
<h3><strong>Back-to-School Theme</strong></h3>
<p>Many people miss their crazy school days and rear a secret wish to relive those days sometimes. So, recreate the school spirit into your backyard with plenty of cheap eats, rocking music, and your old pals from those raging days. Apart from that, you can enjoy the party by playing softball, volleyball, flag football, and some lawn games like croquet, horseshoes, bocce, etc. Instead of the backyard, such a party can be arranged in a beach too. The warm sand and bonfire will allow you people to squeeze the most out of the fleeting summer days.</p>
<h3><strong>Carnival Theme</strong></h3>
<p>You can decorate your Labor Day party after the summer carnival theme too. In this case, the decorations and necessary accessories should be colorful and music should be loud to bring the carnival feeling. Multiply the enjoyment by setting up booths for the guests to play games and win prizes. Arrange for easy but competitive games. Set up bottles and see who can knock down the highest number of bottles with a single strike of baseball or set up a dartboard and watch who can hit the bull’s eye. In such a party, you can serve typical carnival foods like hamburgers, corn dogs, soft pretzels, and lemonade.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54202" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54202" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-front-porch-party-ideas.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54202" alt="patriotic front porch party ideas" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/patriotic-front-porch-party-ideas.jpg" width="500" height="666" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54202" class="wp-caption-text">Have a block party with neighbors and treats!</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Celebrity Party Planner</em></p>
<p>While many people like to concentrate on patriotic themes, you can include a unique mix of decorations and foods representing cultures around the world because Labor Day has a universal appeal that appreciates the hard effort of all the working people around the world.</p>

<p><a href="https://stagetecture.com/inspiration/holiday/" target="_blank">Labor Day</a> is here and it&#8217;s time to celebrate!  Time for BBQ&#8217;s, back yard cook outs, and maybe the last pool party of the year. How about we get creative by adding a punch of the good&#8217;ol red, white and blue to our homes? The best way to really add the &#8216;wow&#8217; factor to your décor is via the front yard, after all isn&#8217;t that the place that everyone sees first? Here are some great ways to turn the front of your house into the most patriotic on the block:</p>
<h4><strong>How to Add Patriotic Red, White and Blue to your Front Yard</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_54149" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54149" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-home.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54149" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-home.jpg" alt="outdoor patriotic home" width="400" height="533" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54149" class="wp-caption-text">Outdoor patriotic home</figcaption></figure>

<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-1]</p>
<div></div>
<h3>Dress Your Door</h3>
<p>Why not turn your door into a huge American flag! It is super easy and makes a big impact to neighbors passing by.  Before long the entire neighborhood will be gathered at your door to admire your handiwork.</p>
<p>Simply cover the door with a long panel of craft paper and adhere with double-stick tape. Then paint on your flag! If you dare to get messy, then let the kids get involved. You could even use scrunched up tissue paper for the stars for a cool 3D effect.</p>
<h3>Make a Yard Flag</h3>
<p>This is one for the kids, but Mom&#8217;s be warned it will get messy! Use an old piece of plywood (whatever size you want your flag to be, but remember you will need to hang it, so you won&#8217;t want it too heavy). Then have the kids dip their hands in either red, white or blue paint. Direct the kids to use their handprints to create the stars and stripes of the flag as in the image below. Allow to dry and then you can add chain and eyehooks to hang from your front porch or tree in your front yard.</p>
<figure id="attachment_54151" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54151" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-ideas-e1377948895245.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54151" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/outdoor-patriotic-ideas-e1377948895245.jpg" alt="outdoor patriotic ideas" width="500" height="372" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54151" class="wp-caption-text">Decorate your front porch in red, white and blue!</figcaption></figure>
<p>Voila, your home is fully Americanized and ready to greet all your Labor day guests. The great thing about these decorations? You can save them and reuse them again next year for your July 4th or Memorial Day celebrations!</p>

As <a href="https://stagetecture.com/?s=4th+of+july#sthash.6tuez15d.dpbs" target="_blank">Labor Day weekend</a> is just knocking at your door, most of the people have become busy planning barbecue party or weekend camping. Others may have been concentrating on decorating their home and yards with blue, white, and red and cooking up feasts. Check out some food and fun ideas for your Labor Day party:</p>
<figure id="attachment_54131" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-54131" style="width: 500px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/grilled-bratwurst.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-54131" alt="grilled bratwurst" src="https://stagetecture.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/grilled-bratwurst.jpg" width="500" height="333" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-54131" class="wp-caption-text">Grilled bratwurst is the perfect meal for Labor Day!</figcaption></figure>

<p style="text-align: center;">[ad#co-1]</p>
<div></div>
<h3><strong>1. Celebrate with a Cook Out</strong></h3>
<p>Labor Day party is a good occasion to say a proper goodbye to the bounty of fresh vegetables and fruits of the summer season. Throw on the grill whatever you can – juicy berries, sweet corn, sun-kissed tomatoes, and summertime favorites like ribs, steaks, lobster, or anything else.</p>
<p><strong>Bratwurst</strong> – The German heritage food is an all-time hit and tastes even more delicious when hot off the grill. Bratwursts, fresh buns, various toppings, and ketchup will make a killer combination. You can spice up the dish by serving it with pickles, savory mustard sauce, and caramelized onions.</p>
<p><strong>Fruits &amp; Vegetable</strong> – Grilled fruits and vegetable will make great Labor Day menu items. You can use them for making salads, desserts, and drinks too. For example, you can use the most popular tropical fruits banana to make a tasty salad item. Prepare this item by mixing up mashed bananas, chopped cherries, drained pineapple, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, and whipped topping.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Image via: Foodily </em></p>
<h3><strong>2. Fun Activities</strong></h3>
<p>A Labor Day party will remain incomplete without some gaming activities for both adults and kids. Letting the kids to choose their own games will be most fun and less stressful. However, organized group activities will not be a bad idea too.</p>
<p><strong>Games</strong> – Games are a very good way to create a festive mood. Any type of games like horseshoes, badminton, scrabble puzzle, softball, volleyball, making bubbles, or just playing with balls will allow everyone to have great summertime fun.</p>
<p><strong>Camping &amp; Hiking</strong> – Camping trips and day hikes are popular Labor Day activities. Pile the necessary stuffs into a few cars and take your guests to the desired place. Everyone should bring their own food and drinks in such trips. However, each of the hikers can bring a separate item and share with others.</p>

<p><strong>3. Arts &amp; Crafts</strong> – You can ask every guest to show off his/her hobbies. They can display whatever they are good at – dancing, singing, rapping, acting, mimicking, miming, etc. You can also arrange for small competitions like a drawing competition in which the best drawing will be rewarded. The Labor Day is often considered as the last chance to say goodbye to the long and lazy days of summer by partying out or making any outdoor activity. Make your last minute summer memories fun and pleasurable so that you can wind up the season with a smile on your face.</p>

But even with a short notice, you can definitely have a summer party that will be worth reminiscing in the future.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of ideas, here are some easy ideas for a last minute summer party that you can implement:</p>
<h3><strong>Have a breezy table setting</strong></h3>
<p>A wonderful table setting will definitely make an impression to your guest. It will give your venue the looks that will dictate the general mood of the party. Since it’s a summer party, you can show off a neutral color scheme of greenery on your table. Cut ferns and other leafy green in your garden as a table centerpiece. Pair it up with white linen for your tablecloth. It’s a wonderful combination for a summer theme party.</p>

<h3><strong>Serve summer-inspired dips and salads</strong></h3>
<p>There are quite a number of summer-inspired recipes that you can choose from. These should be a wonderful addition to your table. Summer dips like the chilled dip with blanched asparagus spears, baby zucchini, sliced cauliflower florets and sugar snap peas. You can also have the Shrimp Salad-Stuffed Endive recipe for appetizer.</p>
<h3><strong>Don’t forget the refreshments</strong></h3>
<p>There no better way to fight the summer heat than having chilling bottles of refreshments. Set up a wine table on the side and have the bottles dip in an icy cool container. Pile up wine glasses and have them ready for serving.</p>
