Deliciousย Recipes for Memorial Day โย Try these recipes for your Memorial Day weekend celebration, including lots of unique, healthy and flavorful options
Itโs easy to forget the true reason we celebrate Memorial Dayโ remembering our fallen U.S. soldiers and war heroes. I feel a profound gratitude to the men and women who serve our country; I am humbled by their sacrifice. Every year I try to attend a local Memorial Day celebration to support our troops and their families. I hope you have a chance to do the same this weekend.
In addition to being an opportunity to honor our troops, this is a long holiday weekend. Itโs a perfect chance to relax with family and friends. Memorial Day marks the beginning of summer, a season best spent cooking tasty food on the grill and dining outside in the sunshine (when the weather cooperates!). I know many of you will be spending your holiday weekend doing these very things, so I thought Iโd share some of my favorite summer recipes. Iโve included a little something for everyone whether youโre a meat-lover, vegetarian or vegan.
How will you be spending your long weekend?
