Are you celebrating Memorial Day this weekend? Here are a few of our favorite Memorial Day BBQ must-haves!
Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta or Goat Cheese Salad
· 1 Watermelon
· 1/2 Red Onion
·Handful Cherry Tomatoes
·2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
·1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
·1 Tablespoon Honey
· Pinch Salt and pepper
· You can add Feta or goat cheese on top!
Chop watermelon, onion, and tomato in a large bowl. Stir olive oil, lime juice, and honey together and pour-over. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and top with cheese of your choice!
Homemade Lemonade
· 1 Cup of sugar
· 1 Cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed is best)
· 6 Cups of water
Boil 3 cups water and 1 cup sugar. Once dissolved remove from heat. Pour into a large pitcher. Add the additional 3 cups of water and 1 cup lemon juice. You can also add some of the lemon rind “zest” to the mixture as well. If you prefer your lemonade extra sweet add a pinch extra sugar. If you prefer more tangy add a pinch extra lemon juice!
Mac and Cheese
· 1 Box Macaroni style noodles
· 1/2 Cup Cream
· 2 Cup Milk
· 2 Cup Cheese
· 1/4 Cup Butter
· Salt and pepper
Combine all ingredients into a pot or pan. Cover noodles generously with cheese and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 350! If you want to add an extra crunch you can also top with breadcrumbs!
Although we love celebrating Memorial Day with a backyard family BBQ the meaning of Memorial Day is much more than the kick-off to the summer season. We want to take a moment to say thank you to all the Military Personnel who gave their life while serving the United States! We hope you all have a safe and wonderful weekend!
