Hi sweet friends! I hope you are all enjoying your Memorial weekend. 🙂 We have had the most beautiful weather here in St. George. Today we are heading to my Grandma Rose’s grave to say Hello and bring her some flowers. It’s been almost a year since the last time we visited her grave. Gravesite’s aren’t my favorite so this is usually the only time I go to visit. Just because I don’t visit a lot it doesn’t mean I don’t think about her every day. When I am going through hard times I will even pray to her- thinking maybe she can hear me. She was a great advice giver and had such a strong heart and mind. I miss her so much.

I KNOW this holiday is for our service men and women and ALL the loved ones we have lost. But lets be honest, most of us enjoy a good barbecue or outdoor meal during this special weekend as well. You can’t deny that. I love inviting friends and family over to celebrate with some delicious food and I don’t think theres one thing wrong with that. I have put together a big ol’ list of all my favorite things to make for any outdoor feast. All of these recipes on this list are tried and true. Every single one of them is in my “favorite recipes” box I have stored in my pantry. There is everything from main course, side dishes and of course desserts! They are all listed below in no particular order. 😀
