Memorial Day is just over a week away!  I gathered together some of my favorite drink, side dish, appetizer, dessert and grilling recipes that I think you should definitely add to your menu.

I hope everyone gets to have some time to relax and spend some down time with friends over the long weekend coming up.  I also know that this holiday, just like every other holiday, requires an abundance of food to celebrate, so enjoy these Memorial Day recipe ideas and eat to your heart’s content!
