Memorial Day is this coming Monday which hopefully means warm weather, backyard BBQs and some good quality time with your friends! Right now in Colorado it’s hard to believe that summer is coming since it snowed a couple inches last night. So you know what we are going to do? We are going to get the hell out of dodge for Memorial Day and get somewhere actually warm. Florida Keys HERE WE COME!
But if you’re not leaving town this weekend, hopefully it’s warm wherever you are. And you can make your friends and family all kinds of delicious food for them to snack on when they come over! In this post, I’m sharing 30 of my favorite recipes that will go perfectly with any long holiday celebration this week. Of course there is some finger food because a holiday isn’t a holiday without snacks that fill you up before a meal. Then I have lots of side dishes for you, some main dishes to keep everyone full and happy, and then DUH, desserts and more desserts. And some cocktails AND mocktails, for any of you out there not drinking at the moment!
If you make any of my recipes this weekend, don’t forget to tag me so I can see what you guys are whipping up and what I should make more of in the future!!
