Summer cookout season officially kicks off Memorial Day weekend. Hosting a BBQ? We’ve gathered some recipes to make the menu monumental. Plus, we found a few DIY crafts to set the party mood.
“All you need is the fresh fruit, a big tray, and some little pretzels covered in yogurt or white chocolate. Just spread those out in rows, alternating with the red berries, and group all the blueberries together in the corner. And presto: a light, easy, festive dessert that will be the hit of any patriotic party.” – Corey
“The sauce you brush on the chicken as it grills is beyond simple and so delicious. It turns a couple chicken thighs (which we’re new to even using) into one magical and mouth-watering meal.” – Holly
“Delicious ingredients all together in one little appetizer skewer. These Antipasto Skewers are a super easy, make-ahead, grab-and-go party snack!” – Valerie
“It may seem like a weird combination, but this peach salsa is going to blow your mind. The sweet and tangy flavors with just a touch of heat are perfection against the sweet bar-b-q sauce. Like even more heat? Leave the white ribs of the pepper intact when dicing for even more bite.” – Stacey
“Y’all, I’m not kidding with the title up there. If you love German potato salad as much as I do, the first bite of this will bring tears of joy to your eyes.” – Christy
“Well now, I’m here to tell you that you are safe from brownie’s devious, hidden nature. No clothes will be removed without permission. But ole gooey does bring a little party wherever it goes. A little party made just for your mouth.” – Brandie
“This outrageous lemon lovers trifle is a dessert filled with citrus deliciousness. It starts with a lemony pound cake that’s brushed with a lemon laced simple syrup. The pound cake is layered with fluffy lemon cream and whipped cream then crowned with lemon slices. It’s outrageously delicious!” – Melissa
