Memorial Day Recipe Ideas

It's Memorial Day Weekend, which means (at least for us here in New England) the (un)official kickoff to summer! Our favorite part of summer is all the time spent outside, and that, of course, includes lots of salads and grilled foods.

For a little something that's sure to be a crowd-pleaser and have everyone coming back for seconds and thirds, try out our very yummy recipe for Spicy Cajun Corn Salsa. Serve it with chips, on the side of your main dish, or grab a bowl and fork and enjoy it all on its own!

For a deliciously savory, yet surprisingly healthy option to crunch on in between frisbee throws and cartwheels, or to top your burger with, try out this unique twist on bacon (trust us, you'll love it!). Bethany of @lilsipper crafted and shared this recipe for Carrot Bacon, and we couldn't be more obsessed.

When it's time for the main event, grab some fresh ingredients and whip up our favorite Fire Cider Marinated Chicken and Veggies. The recipe calls for an oven, but this can easily be switched over to a grilled meal!

Lastly, you'll probably work up a bit of a thirst channeling your inner child, and nothing quenches thirst quite like our Fire Cider Lemonade. And when the sun goes down, we fully support swapping the lemonade for a flavorful cocktail, and our recipe archives have something everyone will love!
