MPM has taken advantage of the end of summer’s bounty and created a super fun and healthy Labor Day Barbecue Menu for you to enjoy. Fresh peaches with as much “hot” as you like, whip up quickly into a tantalizing Fresh Peach Salsa. Serve this salsa with fresh veggies and one of the many healthier chips available today. If you love kabobs, try these mouthwatering Beef Kefta Kabobs starring Middle Eastern-spiced meatballs stuffed into mini peppers, skewered with the traditional onions, mushrooms, tomatoes. Quinoa Tabbouleh pairs perfectly with these kabobs, taking on new textures and flavors when made with gluten-free quinoa. Farmers’ Market Salad is the ideal way to showcase your locally grown greens and veggies.
Of course, no barbecue is complete without a sweet ending and MPM promises not to disappoint. You really haven’t lived until you’ve tried MPM’s Grilled Pineapple with Orange-Honey Glaze. The natural sugar in the pineapple literally caramelizes before your eyes! A true example of how the simplest of ingredients can be the most decadent… If you’re anything like MPM and love to enjoy an occasional mini-indulgence, do try these Choco-Oat Cookie Bars. Sweetened healthfully and made without white flour, these yummy bars offer just the right dose of chocolate goodness. If you are expecting a crowd, you may want to bake a double batch as they tend to disappear quite quickly!
Looking like the skies won’t cooperate causing you to bring your barbecue inside? Not to worry, as everything on MPM’s menu can be easily prepared in your own kitchen.
MPM Wishes You a Happy and Safe Labor Day Celebration!
