Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering those who lost their lives while serving in our country’s armed forces. It’s an important day to remember, reflect and honor.
With many of my own family, including grandpas on both sides as well as my best friend having served in the military, the meaning of the day hits close to home for me; and is a reminder to not take what we have for granted, such as the company of our loved ones. That’s why when Memorial Day comes around, all I want to do is spend quality time with friends and family and enjoy some good food, music and of course each other’s company and conversation.
Here are some delicious recipe ideas to inspire your Memorial Day menu.
