We are know that this year is different than usual when it comes to Memorial Day! I think we can probably all agree that all holidays for the rest of the year are going to be different, yet especially the ones that are happening while we are still in lock down. Normally we would go to family and friends houses or have them over and celebrate all together. This year, that is not possible and we can only enjoy each other via virtual party. Which is a great idea if you want to get your family and friends together for the holiday!
Yet, we can celebrate with those that we are quarantined with and drive by and drop off food for those that maybe quarantined alone! Don’t forget the ones that you love that are quarantined by themselves and make sure that you bring them some yums and maybe a great note or craft that the kiddos make for them!
Mini Cookout for Memorial Day
I think the best way to celebrate this year is with a mini cookout. What does that mean? Well, it is a little more than just grilling on a weeknight, but obviously less than the whole shebang of grilling for a crowd. Here are a few tips for making your mini cookout great!
 
Here are some of the recipes for the above suggestions. I will be adding in some more new recipes this weekend as well. We will be enjoying some big juicy burgers with bacon, BBQ sauce and crispy onions. Making some hot dogs and cheesy brats for the girls. We will be grilling some corn, making a salad side for sure, haven’t decide on which yet and grilled fruit for dessert for sure with some sorbet or ice cream. I am super excited for the meal itself and even though we will miss out family and friends, also excited that we are hopefully getting closer to be able to see and be with all of them. I am also getting excited that this is the kickoff of Summer and that we are opening our pool!! All good things ahead!
