Menu: Memorial Day Cookout

It's Memorial Day weekend! Hopefully you have something fun planned. Hopefully you are getting together with friends and/or family. Hopefully you are lighting the grill and cooking out.

Need some help planning your menu?

Here are some of my suggestions...

Something Cold to Drink:
Beer Margaritas - These are so good, so easy, and truly welcome in the summer months.

Starters:
Beer Dip - Serve with mini pretzels. It's addicting!
BLT Dip - Serve with crackers. Something a little lighter, a little fresher, but just as tasty.

Main:
Whiskey Hamburgers - Don't worry, the small amount of alcohol in these won't affect the kids. ;) But by all means feel free to omit. Just leave it in for the adults -- it adds great flavor!

Side:
Strawberry Jell-O Pretzel Salad - One of my all-time personal favorites.

Side:
Broccoli Slaw - Something crunchy and fresh to balance out the meal.

Side:
Oven Fries - Because what's a burger without its fries?

Desserts:
Berry Cobbler - For the fruit lovers. And it's a light recipe too!
Heavenly Brownies - For the chocolate, all-or-nothing dessert lovers. You won't be disappointed.

Have a great weekend!
