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
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 and feta is one of my favorite combinations. This easy appetizer takes four ingredients and is so refreshing.
Lemon Orzo Pasta Salad
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.
Blueberry Crumble Pie
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.
