I usually share a roundup of Memorial Day-friendly recipes on the Friday before, because Memorial Day is the kickoff for summer holidays.
Restaurant Style Salsa. Make it by the gallon! Truly the best salsa in the universe.
Grilled Corn Guacamole. Dangerously addictive.
Watermelon Pico de Gallo. Serve this with chips or as a salad with grilled chicken!
Blackberry Margaritas. Time to celebrate summer!
Homemade Lemonade. Serve it as is or add a strawberry or blackberry puree.
Barbecue Chicken Legs. So simple because it’s made in the oven, not on the grill.
Spicy Dr Pepper Ribs. Rib-stickin’, man-pleasin’…and woman pleasin’, too.
Beef Fajitas. Party!
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches with Cilantro Slaw. So much flavor!
Caprese Salad. An eternal favorite of mine.
Quinoa with Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella. It will sell you on quinoa forever.
Spicy Pasta Salad with Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes, and Basil. One bite and you’ll be sold.
Grilled Zucchini with Lemon Salt. I adore this stuff—it’s lovely.
Strawberry Sparkle Cake. Takes a little finesse, but the results are so much fun.
Key Lime (Sorta) Pie…okay, so I don’t use real key limes. It’s still good!
And finally, Blackberry Cobbler. Deliciously simple!
And speaking of festive and fun, this Deep Dish Fruit Pizza. The original uses storebought sugar cookie dough, but I use homemade. Both are delicious!
Have a safe, happy, scrumptious holiday weekend, everyone!
Love,
Ree
