www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, June 10, 2016 | 18 HOME & GARDEN Canadian parents love barbecuing: from the tastes and smells, they get excited for the whole season but they often struggle to get their kids to enjoy it, too. According to a survey commissioned by Walmart Canada, parents enjoy barbecuing, but nearly half of primary school aged kids, 6 11, dislike at least one aspect of foods cooked on the barbecue. In fact, one in three parents are preparing a second meal when barbecue is on the menu. For parents who would rather serve second helpings than a second meal, Walmart's barbecue report offers six recipes and bonus tips to get the whole family excited about outdoor cooking. "From grilled watermelon skewers to sweet spiced chicken to grilled cheese with fresh veggies, even the pickiest eaters will nd something to love on the grill this summer," said Paul Del Duca, senior vice president, fresh foods at Walmart Canada. "Walmart is proud to carry an expanding variety of local in-season produce and quality meats and sh at unbeatable prices, sure to keep families grill-side all season long." Get your kids excited about barbecued foods this summer Quick and easy tips to take your barbecue to the next level: · Get the kids involved: While kids can be picky eaters, getting them involved is natu- rally the best place to start. The actual grilling is for grown-ups, of course, but kids like to help prep food in the kitchen and appreciate being told what mom or dad is making. · Family-friendly avours: Special sauces are the top way parents get kids to eat foods off of the barbecue. Sauces are a great way to add avour, but rubs also give barbecue foods appealing taste. Try the Sweet Spiced Chicken recipe from Walmart Canada Recipe Centre for a sweet-with-a-kick main course. · Barbecue brunch: Whip up some grilled cheese on the grill. Feeling like something a bit sweeter? Try French toast by simply dipping bread into an egg mixture with a dash of cinnamon, grill on a sheet of buttered foil, and serve alongside fresh fruits. · Try something new: It's no surprise that grilled hamburgers are kids' top pick for foods off the grill with grilled hot dogs coming in as a close second but grilling has so much to offer. Parents can serve kid-friendly meals like the Canadian-meets-Asian inspired perfectly planked honey ginger salmon, veggie side dishes and even cookies on the barbecue.
