AND SAY HELLO TO THE GRILL! SAY GOODBYE TO THE SUMMER HEAT The summer heat is finally starting to settle down and Arizonans are coming out of our summer hibernation. With temperatures becoming more reasonable, more people will be spending time outside. We’ll be going for walks, enjoying the great outdoors in and around the Phoenix area, and grilling in the backyard. For many of us, fall is peak grilling season! With more people at home, grilling in the backyard has become one of “the things” to do this fall. It’s a great way to get out of the house and to have a few people over for some food and fun. Want to step up your grilling game? Here are a few tips to get more out of your goodies. DON’T WALK AWAY When grilling, never walk away from your grill once you’ve put the food on the grates. When you turn your attention elsewhere, you risk disaster. All it takes is a few minutes of distraction to ruin a perfectly good steak. When the meat goes on and you watch it, the results speak for themselves. BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS If you really want to wow your guests, put away the burgers, hot dogs, and steak and say hello to … pizza? Yes, pizza — or anything else, really! After all, your grill is just an outdoor oven. While the primary heat source may be below the grates, when the lid is closed, heat circulates through the entire grill space, effectively cooking or baking whatever you have inside. So try grilling all your favorite dishes! DON’T FORGET DESSERT Pizza isn’t the only type of pie you can grill. You can also grill dessert pie, and it’s relatively straightforward. Simply prepare your favorite pie recipe and put it on the grill at the same time and temperature that you would normally bake it. (Fruit pies are especially recommended for grilling, but you can grill any type of pie that you would normally bake!) Of course, with grilling comes a lot of standing. If you feel aches or pains setting in from being on your feet for any length of time, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Mission Physical Therapy! We want to get to the root cause of the issue, because standing shouldn’t hurt. Even better, if you call us AND mention this grilling article, we’ll schedule you for a FREE screening and laser treatment. Now that is a great way to start the fall!
