How do you celebrate?
If you celebrate Memorial Day weekend like my family and I do, you'll probably spend time outside, catch a parade, and get together with family and friends for a cookout.
Foods on the grill will include the classics, like burgers, steak, barbecue chicken, and kabobs. But don't forget those other recipes for Memorial Day that really complete the festivities: flavorful salads, cool drinks, and luscious desserts.
Memorial Day FAQs
Burgers and hot dogs are probably the most popular foods to throw on the grill for a Memorial Day cookout, but there are plenty of other tasty things to grill! One of my favorites is grilled Sausage, Peppers, and Onions, piled into soft rolls. Try these recipes for grilled chicken thighs or grilled flatbreads. Or, just throw some ears of corn on there until they're charred and tender.
Since this holiday weekend usually means that friends and family are gathering together, choose easy recipes that feed a crowd of people. Better yet, find salads, drinks, and desserts that can be made ahead of time so that you're free to enjoy the party! Many of the recipes gathered in this Memorial Day Recipes collection can be made in advance and stored in the fridge until it's time for the party.
