Time feels like it’s flying right now and the fact that Memorial Day is just around the corner blows my mind! Don’t get me wrong – I love Memorial Day. I love it for the parades and the picnics and the time with family and friends….and I love it for honoring the men and women who have served our country. (Even though it’s completely sneaking up on us!) If you’re anything like me, you have given zero thought to any type of menu plan for your holiday cookout or party.

Which is why these Memorial Day recipes are so perfect! A sanity-saver, if you will. Because if there’s one thing that’s true about any holiday, it’s that delicious food is not optional.

  1. Saw several recipes we’d love to make. Is just two of us (besides 2 furry kidz and 5 chickens) so would need to make 1/2 of recipe and still have some good leftovers. Since hubs is chief cook and I’m bottle washer he’ll decide what we’ll have and when. I was practically drooling looking at all the delicious food. Thanks so much for getting all these great recipes rounded up for us all. Happy weekend
