Memorial Day weekend is upon us, the unofficial kickoff for summer! 2020 has been an unpredictable year to say the least, and has challenged us to find ways to feel normal in these crazy times. Although your Memorial Day celebrations may look a little different this year, we think you can still create a delicious meal to share with your quarantine crew!

When we think of Memorial Day, we think of sunshine, spending time at the grill, and bright summer flavors. These menu ideas will give you just that. Spending this holiday at home gives us a great opportunity to find peace within this new norm, enjoy some family time, and most importantly show our gratitude towards the selfless men and women who have served our country.

Cooking outside is way more enjoyable than cooking inside, right? Lucky for us, grilling season is in full swing! Don’t get me wrong, I love a good old fashioned burger (could imbed recipe link for that here), but sometimes it is fun to try something new.
