As Memorial Day weekend kicks off the summer grilling season, let’s take a minute to refresh our menus. Here are over 50 of our favorite “Grillin’ & Chillin'” recipes for an ultimate Memorial Day weekend menu. They’re all easy, family-friendly, and downright delicious! Grill on!
Oh boy how time flies! Can you believe we’re on the precipice of the unofficial kick-off of summer weekend already?? And I don’t know about you but this has been the craziest of weeks so far! I have a few extra days off from work this and next week so I’ve been in a tizzy this week trying close up projects and prep my team for meetings and work while I’m out.
Needless to say, I can just about smell quitting time on Thursday afternoon and I can’t WAIT to fire up the grill this weekend!
In order to help you celebrate, I also wanted to get some of my favorite Grillin’ and Chillin’ Recipes out to you before you finalize your summer kick-off menus with the hope of inspiring you to be as stoked as I am about this long weekend.
I’m dying to know what you guys have planned to make this weekend too, so by all means, post ’em in the comments! Happy almost summer/weekend!!
