This will be the first Memorial Day that I can remember where rain is in the forecast for San Diego. SO sad. I plan to have a few cocktails and a burger either way.
Did we mention that we are moving this weekend? Yep. It’s literally to an apartment next door but a move none the less. When Memorial Day hits on Monday we will be oh, so happy for a break…and as usual good food!
First things first, you’ll need a beverage. How about a…
Next, a light and refreshing salad that you must enjoy poolside.
Arugula, Watermelon and Feta Salad
Sunny Citrus Shrimp and Avocado Salad
You’ve got to fire up that BBQ…or crock pot…or oven.
BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich (One Pot Wonder)
Adobo Flank Steak with Sweet Corn and Tomato Relish
Is corn on the cob not a must at every BBQ? Well, I think it is and you’ll love this one.
Tacos are a super simple option to feed a crowd and these will do the body good.
Chile Spiced Shrimp Tacos with Mango Avocado Salsa
Now, if you are more of a burger person when it comes to grillin’, it’s your lucky day because the LYK has quite a few options for you.
Teriyaki Glazed Pineapple and Pancetta Burgers
You didn’t think I would forget the most important course did you? Dessert…of course.
Lemon Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries
Maybe something red, white and blue?!
Lemon Curd Trifle with Fresh Berries
Some of our favorite foodies have come up with superb recipes that your Memorial Day cookout just wouldn’t be the same without:
