Just wanted to share some of my favorite Memorial Day food ideas!

Picture taken from here

Barbecue: Whether it be chicken, beef, pork or even fish, nothing is as good as a barbecue on a nice Summer day!

Potato Salad: Of course you have to have potato salad with barbecue right? I like mine made with diced and boiled red potatoes, chopped hard boiled eggs, minced celery and salt and pepper. Talk about good!

Corn: Grilled corn or even boiled corn on the cob is wonderful at a Memorial Day barbecue.

Baked Beans: Slightly sweet but not overly sugary!

Hot Dogs: With chilli, cheese, onions and mustard! Not just for the kids.

For dessert something light like a fruit parfait but a Lemon poundcake with ice cream isn't bad either.

Make your menu your own. I love these things for Memorial Day barbecues and just summer cookouts in general. But you shouldn't be afraid to deviate from the typical fare if you want to.

Bon Appetit!
