What’re you doing this weekend? If you, like me, are hosting a Memorial Day Cookout, then you’ve come to the right place for recipes. Scroll down for some of my favorite go-to recipes for feeding a crowd.
Memorial Day Cookout Traditions
Our annual Memorial Day cookout started years ago as friends and family camped out on our driveway to watch the parade go by. Since they wouldn’t leave, we had to feed them, and so a tradition was born 🙂 It is such a great way to kick off summertime. Of course, it figures that this year, when we finally got the pool opening right and have GORGEOUS BLUE WATER, it’s going to be sub-75 weather. Ah well, that won’t stop the kids from going in, but I’ll need it a bit warmer than that before I dip a toe in there thankyouverymuch.
