Memorial Day Recipes

The memorial day weekend is the official kick-off of summer in the Cleveland area, and it is generally filled with barbeques, and pot luck picnics. One of the most common questions I hear is, What can I bring to the picnic?"

These are my suggestions for delicious, easy recipes that work well at picnics. Please feel free to share your own ideas, too.

Macaroni and Cheese
This is one of the staples of any picnic. This recipe is easy to make and it is much better than the cheap blue box stuff. This is also a nice alternative for those that do not eat meat.

Easy Pasta Salad
Pasta salads are quick and easy to make and hold up well at parties. This recipe makes an attractive dish for pot lucks. Make sure you always have a box of pretty pasta on hand, and experiment with the ingredients you have available.

Easy Chili
If you have a place to plug something in, bring this chili in a crock pot and they will love you forever.

Sun Tea
Every cookout needs a refreshing beverage other than beer and soda. The Idea Queen offers wonderful ideas for making this tasty summer beverage!
