It’s time to break out of your everyday barbeque rut and try something fun and different. Barbecues can be boring those of us who follow special diets like: vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, or kosher. It is easy to go with the same old burgers and dogs for your BBQ. However, there are so many creative ways to treat yourself that will make your mouth water and your taste buds sizzle. We have the answer for you!

Whether you are vegan or vegetarian, it is always important to incorporate a substantial protein source such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, lentils or beans, and then add your vegetables and grains. Here are a few ideas to spice up your meal. You can marinade your tofu, tempeh, seitan, or grilled vegetables in our homemade BBQ Sauce, which is Vegetarian, Gluten Free, and Kosher. For those of you who are vegan, there is our Satay Party Artichoke and Eggplant Skewer, add tofu or tempeh for protein... Other fun recipes for those vegetarians and kosher fans are: Bombay Potato Salad, Madras Lentil Chili Dogs, and Tikka Masala Grilled Tofu Naan Wrap. The possibilities are endless and there is so much fun to be had during the BBQ season. For meat lovers in the crowd, you can make the same recipes, substituting meat for the vegetarian protein.

Not to forget dessert, try our Grilled Pineapple Partay recipe made by grilling pineapples with our Satay Party sauce served with vanilla ice cream and crushed peanuts.
