MEMORIAL DAY FAVORITES

As a child, Memorial Day always included a bustling house, endless hot dogs, and, if we were especially lucky, a trip to the river for boating and tubing. This year, we are re-visiting those traditions and I could not be more excited! No matter what we do or where we go, the influx of summer food is always my favorite part of the weekend. Below you’ll find a few of my favorite early summer recipes, perfect for picnics and backyard cook-outs! Click-through the thumbnails for each recipe! And don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and Facebook with pictures of whatever you make this weekend!

Nothing screams of summer more than a beautifully garnished mocktail, preferably served with a festive paper straw.

Summer sides are THE BEST and you cannot go wrong with any of these!!

I will never turn my nose up to a classic, red, white and blue fruit pizza, but fried apple-cinnamon tacos are a game changer.

Burgers and dogs are a classic, but if you’re feeling the urge changes things up a bit here are some great alternatives!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

MEMORIAL DAY RECIPE ROUND-UP

One of my very favorite weekends is just around the corner and we have pretty drinks to sip and grills to fire up.  That's right, we are just a few days away from Memorial Day and I hope you have stocked up on all the ice and cute paper straws because the backyard bashes are about to begin!  

Here are just a few of my most summery favorites for your inspiration!

Wishing you all a wonderful, extended weekend of celebration as we remember the invaluable gift we have been given, and offer up our thanks to those who have protected it.
