Sizzle into Summer: Grilling Ideas for the Perfect BBQ

Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill, gather with friends and family, and enjoy some delicious outdoor cooking. Let’s dive into some mouthwatering recipes and tips to elevate your summer BBQ game!

Classic Burgers and Hot Dogs

Let’s start with the all-time favorites—burgers and hot dogs. For the perfect burger, choose high-quality ground beef, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook to your desired doneness. Don’t forget the toppings! Offer a variety of cheeses, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and condiments. For hot dogs, grill until they have those beautiful char marks and serve with a selection of mustards, ketchup, relish, and onions.

Savory BBQ Ribs

Nothing says summer like a rack of tender, juicy ribs. Start by marinating your ribs in a flavorful rub overnight. When it’s time to grill, cook them low and slow, basting with your favorite BBQ sauce. The result? Fall-off-the-bone goodness that will have everyone licking their fingers.

Grilled Veggie Skewers

Veggie skewers are a great way to add some color and nutrition to your BBQ spread. Use a variety of vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Brush them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs, then grill until tender and slightly charred. These are perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike!

Juicy Grilled Chicken

For a lighter option, grilled chicken is always a hit. Marinate chicken breasts or thighs in a mix of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs for a few hours. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring it’s juicy and flavorful. Pair with a fresh salad or grilled corn for a delightful summer meal.

Seafood Delight

Add some coastal flair to your BBQ with grilled seafood. Shrimp skewers, salmon fillets, and grilled lobster tails are all fantastic choices. Season with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs, then grill until perfectly cooked. Seafood is quick to grill and adds a gourmet touch to your summer feast.

Fun with Kebabs

Kebabs are fun to make and eat! Alternate pieces of marinated meat, such as beef, chicken, or lamb, with vegetables on skewers. Grill until the meat is cooked through and the veggies are charred. These are perfect for kids and adults and can be customized to suit everyone’s tastes.

Perfect Grilled Corn

Grilled corn on the cob is a summer staple. Brush the corn with melted butter and season with salt and pepper before grilling. For a fun twist, try Mexican street corn: after grilling, slather the corn with a mix of mayo, sour cream, lime juice, and chili powder, then sprinkle with cotija cheese and cilantro.

Delicious Desserts

Yes, you can even use your grill for dessert! Grilled fruits like pineapple, peaches, and bananas become wonderfully caramelized and make a sweet end to your meal. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an irresistible treat.

Refreshing Beverages

Don’t forget to stay hydrated! Offer a selection of refreshing beverages like lemonade, iced tea, and fruit-infused water. For the adults, a pitcher of sangria or some cold beers can make the BBQ even more enjoyable.

 

Pro Grilling Tips

Preheat the Grill

Always preheat your grill for at least 10-15 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking and those lovely grill marks.

Clean the Grates

Use a grill brush to clean the grates before and after cooking to prevent sticking and ensure better flavor.

Oil the Grates

Lightly oil the grates to prevent food from sticking.

Use a Meat Thermometer

Ensure your meat is cooked to the right temperature for safety and optimal taste.

 

Ready to take your summer BBQ to the next level? With these grilling ideas and tips, you'll be the star of your next cookout. Enjoy your summer grilling adventures and make the most of the sunny days with family and friends. Cheers to great food and even better company!

The Ultimate Guide to Stress-Free Moving

Moving can be a daunting task, but with a little planning and some handy tips, you can make it a stress-free experience. We've got you covered with our top tips to ensure a smooth and easy move into an RPM apartment. Let’s get started!

Start Early and Stay Organized

First things first, start planning your move as early as possible. Create a moving checklist to keep track of tasks and set deadlines. Breaking down the process into manageable steps makes it less overwhelming. Trust us, your future self will thank you!

Declutter Before You Pack

Moving is the perfect time to declutter. Go through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or toss. This not only reduces the amount of stuff you need to pack but also makes unpacking easier. Plus, a fresh start in your new home feels amazing without unnecessary clutter.

Gather Packing Supplies

Stock up on packing supplies like boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and markers. Having everything you need on hand will save you from last-minute runs to the store. Pro tip: Use small boxes for heavy items like books and larger boxes for lighter items like linens.

Pack Room by Room

To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking a breeze and helps movers know where to place each box in your new home. Don’t forget to pack a “first-night” box with essentials like toiletries, clothes, and important documents.

Keep Essentials Handy

Pack a separate bag with essentials you’ll need immediately, such as medications, chargers, snacks, and a change of clothes. This way, you won’t have to dig through boxes for the things you need right away.

Use What You Have

Save money and packing materials by using items you already have. Suitcases, laundry baskets, and even hampers can be used to transport belongings. Towels and blankets make great padding for fragile items.

Hire Movers or Recruit Friends

Decide whether you want to hire professional movers or enlist the help of friends and family. If you go the DIY route, make sure to have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand to keep your helpers happy. If hiring movers, book them well in advance and check reviews to ensure they’re reliable.

Take Breaks and Stay Hydrated

Moving is hard work, so remember to take breaks and stay hydrated. Moving day can be long and tiring, but regular breaks will keep your energy up and stress levels down.

Unpack Strategically

Once you’ve arrived at your new home, start by unpacking the essentials. Focus on one room at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Setting up your bedroom and bathroom first can make your new place feel more like home right away.

Make it Fun

Turn on your favorite music, order some takeout, and make unpacking a fun experience. Celebrate the small victories along the way, like setting up your living room or organizing your kitchen.

Moving doesn’t have to be a stressful ordeal. With a bit of preparation and a positive attitude, you can turn moving day into an exciting new adventure. At RPM Living, we’re here to make your transition as smooth as possible. So, follow these tips, take a deep breath, and enjoy the journey to your new home. You’ve got this!

'Tis the season for giving, and finding the perfect gift for that one person who's seemingly impossible to shop for can be a holiday headache. But fear not - RPM has got you covered with a selection of unique and thoughtful gift ideas that are sure to bring a smile to even the most discerning individuals. Let's unwrap the mystery of holiday gifting for those hard-to-please loved ones.

Subscription Boxes

Subscription boxes have gained popularity for good reason. They offer a continuous surprise each month. Choose a subscription that aligns with your recipient's interests, whether it's gourmet coffee, books, or wellness products. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Home Improvement and Decor

For those who love their living spaces, unique home decor items or tools for home improvement can be a hit. Think of personalized art, stylish furniture, or high-quality kitchen gadgets. RPM properties provide the perfect canvas for these thoughtful additions.

Wellness and Spa Packages

Give the gift of relaxation and self-care with a spa day or wellness package. Many of RPM's locations have world-class spa facilities nearby. Consider bundling a spa gift certificate with a stay at an RPM property for the ultimate pampering experience.

Charitable Donations

If your hard-to-shop-for person is passionate about a particular cause, consider making a charitable donation in their name. This not only shows you care about their values but also makes a positive impact on a cause they hold dear.

 

Finding the ideal gift for those "impossible-to-shop-for" folks doesn't have to be a daunting task. Whether it's a personalized gourmet gift, an experiential adventure, a subscription box, home decor, a spa package, or a charitable donation, there's a thoughtful gift waiting for every personality.

Revamp Your RPM Luxury Apartment This Fall With These Cleaning Tips

There’s no denying it any longer: it's time to embrace the cozy ambiance of fall. With Halloween over and done, and Thanksgiving on the way, fall is in full swing. But before you snuggle up in your RPM luxury apartment, it's essential to ensure your living space is spick and span. 

 

Start with a Deep Clean

Before you begin decorating your apartment with fall-themed accents, it's essential to start with a thorough deep clean. Dust surfaces, wipe down windows, and vacuum or mop the floors. Don't forget to clean the often-neglected areas like light fixtures, ceiling fans, and baseboards. A clean RPM luxury apartment is the perfect canvas for fall decor.

Declutter and Organize

Fall is an excellent time to declutter your living space. Donate or store items you no longer need to make room for cozy fall accessories. RPM properties like Arco Pilare and Avendale at the Colony offer ample storage space to help you stay organized.

Focus on the Kitchen

Your kitchen is the heart of your apartment, and keeping it clean and organized is vital. Clean out the pantry, wipe down all surfaces, and ensure that your appliances are in tip-top shape. RPM luxury apartments like Citizen House Blue Bluff and Citizen House Pflugerville have modern, well-maintained kitchens that make cleaning a breeze.

Fall-Specific Cleaning

To get your apartment in the autumn spirit, consider these seasonal cleaning tasks:

Clean and store outdoor furniture

RPM properties like La Tierna Apartments and Infinity on the Landing may have outdoor spaces; ensure they're clean and ready for fall gatherings.

Wash or replace curtains

Fresh curtains can change the whole atmosphere of your apartment.

Clean and inspect your heating system

As the temperatures drop, make sure your heating system is in excellent working condition.

Decorate for Fall

Once your RPM luxury apartment is spotless, it's time to bring in the fall vibes. Decorate with warm, earthy tones, cozy blankets, and autumn-themed accessories. Parmore Fossil Creek is a property that provides a perfect backdrop for your fall decor with its spacious living areas.

Last-Minute Costume Ideas To Create At Your RPM Luxury Apartment

Spooky season is officially upon us, and the countdown to Halloween is in full swing! If you’ve maaayyyybbbeeeee procrastinated on your costume this year, don’t worry - you aren’t the only one! Luckily, we've got you covered with some last-minute Halloween costume ideas that will ensure you're the life of the party in and out of your RPM luxury apartment.

 

Ghostly Glamour

Turn a plain white bedsheet into a stunning ghostly gown. Accessorize with statement jewelry, dramatic makeup, and a tiara to become a glamorous ghost that will haunt the halls of your RPM Luxury Apartment in style.

DIY Superhero

Unleash your inner superhero by crafting a costume from household items. A bedsheet can transform into a cape, and cardboard boxes can become your superhero emblem. 

Classic Witch or Wizard

A witch or wizard costume is always a hit - you literally can’t go wrong with this one. Raid your closet for dark clothing, add a pointed hat (or craft one from black construction paper if necessary), and complete the look with a broomstick. Your RPM Luxury Apartment could even be your coven's perfect meeting place!

Movie Character Mashup

Combine elements from your favorite movie characters to create a unique costume. For example, mix Harry Potter's glasses with a Jedi robe – the possibilities are endless.

Decades Throwback

Choose a specific decade (e.g., '70s, '80s, '90s) and raid your closet or a thrift store for era-appropriate clothing. Your RPM Luxury Apartment can be transformed into a time machine for a true blast from the past.

Punny Costume

Get creative with wordplay by creating a  pun-inspired costume. For example, tape cereal boxes to your clothes and go as a "cereal killer." With this idea, your costume can be as creative - or basic - as you’d like.

Modern Pop Culture Icon

Pick a beloved pop culture icon and replicate their look with what you have on hand. Whether it's Marilyn Monroe's red lips or Steve Jobs' black turtleneck, your RPM luxury apartment can become the backdrop for your transformation.

Classic Vampire

Halloween just wouldn’t feel complete if someone wasn’t vamped out. This year, it can be you! Dress in dark, elegant clothing, add some fake fangs, and a touch of pale makeup. Bonus points for fake blood drips from your “prey”.

How to Prep Your Apartment for Overnight Guests

If you’re downsizing from a larger home into one of our RPM Living communities, you may be wondering if there is still enough space for hosting overnight guests. If you’ve selected a floor plan that doesn’t have a dedicated guest room, we have some tips to help make it easier for hosting overnight guests. These tips will give your guests a comfortable place to stay while you maintain your own privacy and peace of mind. 

 

Clear Space For Your Guest’s Belongings

 

Whether it’s a coat rack by the door, bathroom counter space, or a shelf in the hall closet, make sure your guest has space to put their belongings. This will make your guest feel welcomed and prevent clutter from piling up in your shared living spaces while they’re staying at your apartment home. With spacious floor plans like the ones offered at Clover Apartments, the possibilities are endless!

We recommend doing this even if it means moving some of your things to a less convenient location while your guest stays with you. It’s more comfortable for you to be slightly inconvenienced in your own apartment than it is for a visitor trying to settle into someone else’s apartment. 

 

Invest in a Pull-Out Couch

 

A pull-out couch makes hosting overnight guests much more convenient both for you and for your guest(s). This way, you can visit in your living room during the day but still give your guest a comfy place to sleep at night. Spacious and stylish floor plans like you’ll find at properties like The Lennox are going to be perfect for adaptable furniture such as this! Make sure you have spare linens for the pull-out bed, too! 

Pull-out couches can be expensive, so if you’re looking for a little less financial commitment, an air mattress also works.

 

Take Advantage of Collapsible Furniture

 

Drop-leaf tables, nesting coffee tables and end tables, folding chairs, and the like help you expand your space to suit more people without adding permanent clutter to your RPM Living apartment. In fact, this tip is useful whether your guests are staying overnight or not; being able to expand the table for a shared dinner, then collapse it to make more room in a spacious living area is a great option to have up your sleeve whenever you want to host friends or family in your apartment home.

 

Get a Folding Screen for Privacy

 

Especially if your overnight guest is staying in your living room, offering a little extra privacy can make a huge difference to their comfort and yours as you move through each other’s space. A folding screen can be just the thing you need to give your guest a little of their own space within your apartment and still be able to transition easily between guest mode and guest-free mode. You can easily store a folding privacy screen in a closet for the next time you have guests. 

 

Plan To Spend Time Outside of Your Apartment

 

There’s no need to spend all your time inside your apartment! Plan some excursions to your favorite places in town, or enjoy an afternoon in a local park. The more time you can spend outside of your apartment, the less frustrating it will be to have limited space to share when you and your guest are both at home. 

 

Be sure to take advantage of the vast community amenities with your guests that we offer at our RPM communities, like the resort style pool at Eastpark Apartments, or the private theater with oversized seating at The Crossings at Canton!
