Today we kick off the Memorial Day Weekend — so let the cooking begin. Many of us grill, smoke or barbecue our favorite dishes for family and friends who stop by during the next three days. Even if the weather isn’t the warmest yet, we still find a way to gear up for a new grilling season, and this weekend starts to feel like the beginning of Summer.
So, here are a few of my favorite recipes to whip up over the long weekend, starting with some easy appetizers, fantastic salads, grilled meats & fish and ending with something sweet. Don’t forget the cocktails too!
Enjoy yourselves and prepare something new — change up some of your traditional recipes. I for one, will be cooking over the course of the next few days, shocking right?! I’d love to hear about your weekend plans, so leave your comments here on my blog or follow me on Instagram and Facebook!
