By 26 Comments

With the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend ahead of us, I’m sure many of you will have some sort of event/party/gathering to attend. Even if you don’t have an actual party to head to, there’s still plenty of opportunity to put together a nice menu at home.

Either way, today I’ve got five fun and festive recipes that will be perfect for any Memorial Day plans you may have…from salads, right down to desserts!

A couple salads to start…

Creamy Fruit & Tortellini Salad

Question for the Afternoon:

Anyone have any fun plans for the Memorial Day holiday weekend?

  12. These look fabulous! We have no major plans. It was going to be an all out yardwork weekend. It was supposed to be done a few weeks ago but my daughter broke her arm, so we had to postpone it. But instead of all weekend yardwork party, it looks like it may only be a Saturday yardwork party. There's this nice little storm system (that may or may not turn into a tropical storm) off the southeast coast so there's a high chance of rain Sunday and Monday. :( Here's hoping it stays a way but we're pumping out as much as we can tomorrow in case it rains the rest of the weekend

  15. That Stars and Stripes cookie cake looks delicious! Is that a whipped frosting or is it just vanilla buttercream on top? I can't believe that cookie is THAT big-it's a sugar cookie I'm assuming. I love strawberries and blueberries so that would be perfect for me. Maybe I'll tackle this on the 4th of July? It's supposed to be 85 degrees on Monday and I really don't want to heat up my house as much as I have to. Have a great long weekend! :)

  17. Those pretzel sandwiches look amazing! I love a good salty+sweet combo! My brother is graduating from college this weekend. I think it's a bit strange to have a college graduation on the Sunday morning of Memorial Day Weekend but oh well!
