Ten Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend

Y’all. I am in denial that it is June next week. Where did Spring go?! I feel like Memorial Day Weekend is the official start of Summer, and while I’m totally not prepared (or ready to be in a bathing suit…) I’m here for it! I’ve rounded up ten recipes perfect for your #MDW cookout, barbecue or just to make for your Netflix date on the couch with yourself.. no judgement here 😉 

The Creamiest Guacamole Ever

The Creamiest Guacamole on lexeats.com

Because who has ever turned down guac at a cookout? You need to check out my secret trick to getting the creamiest restaurant-style guacamole.

Watermelon Feta Bites

Watermelon Feta Bites on lexeats.com

Watermelon and feta is one of my favorite combinations. This easy appetizer takes four ingredients and is so refreshing.

Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad

Copy-Cat Fresh Market Orzo recipe on www.lexeats.com

Pasta salad is mandatory for Memorial Day Weekend! This recipe combines lemon, cherry tomatoes, spinach and pine nuts for a light pasta salad that will complement any BBQ!

Summer Bruschetta

My friend Emily of Gathered Living made these beautiful sweet and savory bruschetta and I’m thinking MDW might be a good reason to try them out! This would be an easy appetizer to take to a party.

Gluten Free Mascarpone Tart

This treat is basically a grown-up fruit pizza. Top it with strawberries and blueberries for a patriotic dessert.

Sally’s Baking Addiction makes my favorite dessert recipes. This Blueberry Crumble Pie is exactly the type of dessert you want on Memorial Day. 

Avocado Feta Dip

This twist on guacamole is one of my favorite dips to bring to a party. The feta goes great with avocado and it’s so easy to prepare.

Roasted Mexican Street Corn

Corn on the cob just screams summer. Elotes or Mexican Street Corn are a fun twist and can be made on the grill.

Alton Brown’s Stove Top Mac ‘n Cheese

Y’all. My mom has been making this recipe for years and it is the best mac ‘n cheese! You must bring to your BBQ.

Sour Cream Mini Muffins

This is one of the first recipes I posted on my blog, which I honestly need to update because the photos are horrible, ha! But the recipe is so good! Three ingredients and these little muffins are ADDICTIVE.

What are y’all planning on making this weekend? Do you have fun plans, or just taking it easy on your day off? Hope it’s great!

Biscuits & blessings.
