Need a Recipe for a Memorial Day Cookout?

Whether you are hosting or attending, we've got you covered!

Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend, also known as the unofficial kick-off to summer! First, it is important to take a moment to honor the fallen soldiers that fought for our country. We are very grateful for their service and send love to their families.

As we recognize this holiday, we love to gather around some good food. So we have pulled together a delicious cookout menu, if you are hosting a crowd, and a few options for making at home and bringing to a celebration!

Memorial Day Cookout Menu

We have hosted MANY backyard cookouts and have a variety of different recipes that would be great for serving a crowd! Here is an epic menu that would be perfect:

• Appetizer: Easy Taco Dip and/or Veggies with a Veggie Dip

• Main: BEST Grilled Ribs or Grilled Brats

• Sides: Dill Pickle Pasta Salad, Slow Cooker Baked Beans and Grilled Corn Salad

• Dessert: Strawberry Rhubarb Bars or Key Lime Cheesecake Bars

• Cocktail: Frozen Old Fashioned
