Food, Drinks and Dessert for Celebrating Memorial Day

Its a “Memorial Day” weekend. This is a time to remember and to respect people who was so brave risked their lives to defend the country. Many people was died for it, so what we can do to give our thankful to them? A country couldn’t get the freedom without them.

Visiting an actual Memorial, attending and would be great participating a local Memorial Day parade and many more. Its all could be nice things to celebrate the Memorial Day.

Having a backyard BBQ also be a nice thing for it. With your family and/or friends, decorating the set, and many more. In here, I wanna share to all of you food, drinks, dessert which suit to Memorial Day.

Food

A Memorial Day BBQ is always best since you can interact with your guest at the same time your cooking. Having some cool food since more than likely the temps will be hot is best. Things like fruit salad, Macaroni or potato salad is good. Have some finger foods like a veggie tray, deviled eggs or chips and dip to keep everyone from getting to hungry before the main meal is done grilling’. For the main course you can do anything from chicken, to hotdogs to tofu burgers. Go with what you like.

Drinks

Margarita’ s are great! Any flavor. If you can make 3 pitchers, one red, one white and one blue then your already ahead of yourself in the decorating department too! Beer and soda in a cooler full of ice is great but don’t forget to have water in there too. You don’t want somebody to dehydrate at your Memorial Day BBQ. Don’t drink? Serve the same colored virgin margarita’ s, sweet tea and juices.
