Memorial Day Recipe Roundup

Is Memorial Day almost here already? 
Holy Cow, where does the time go? 
We are definitely feeling the heat and humidity in Virginia.  
Supposedly living in humid weather is better for aging skin. 
Oh mercy, please let that be true.

I hope many of y'all will be off on that day and get to enjoy some down time with your family. 
My hubby and I work opposite schedules during the week but this Monday, we will actually
 get to enjoy the morning and afternoon together before I have to head on into work. 
And I do appreciate that family time so very much.

As we take time to remember all of the U.S. military members who never returned home 
from war, we celebrate their lives and we honor their sacrifice.
Many Americans often have barbeques as an occasion to gather round and remember our lost and celebrate our freedoms.

And this, of course, requires lots and lots of food.  
So to give you some ideas, I thought I would round up a few recipes for ya.

Sides/Appetizers
God Bless America!


Enjoy!
