Healthy Fundraising – themes and recipes BBQs and Sausage Sizzles

BBQs and sausage sizzles are popular school events. They can be great for fundraising and introducing the school community to a wide range of tasty and healthy foods that support the Move Well Eat Well messages.

Buying tips:

• Work with your local butcher to see if they can add grated vegies to hamburger patties. • Sausages have come a long way – ask your local butcher if they make varieties with added vegetables or different flavoured sausages to increase the variety. • Many supermarkets sell pre-made lentil and vegie burgers – these can be a great alternative.

Preparation ideas:

• Choose lean cuts of meat such as chicken breasts or make your own burgers with lean beef mince. • Use the following recipes to make vegie burgers. These are cheap and easy to prepare. • Try barbecued corn on the cob or other vegies such as zucchini, mushrooms, onions, eggplant or capsicum • Add some colour to the event - make vegie kebabs by skewering chunks of different fruit and vegetables (e.g. pineapple, capsicum, mushrooms, zucchini and onion). • Peel and wrap bananas in foil then grill on the BBQ for a sweet treat

Greening up your sausage sizzle:

• Try wholemeal and wholegrain bread. • Serve all sausages with some vegetables such as BBQ onion, diced fresh tomato and lettuce. • Talk to your local butcher about supplying lower fat sausages for your next event • Have a variety of other salads on offer such as pasta salad, green salad or coleslaw (made with reduced fat mayonnaise). • Provide plenty of water to drink, rather than soft drink or cordial. • Serve fresh fruit for a simple dessert.
