I don’t know about y’all but I’m super excited that Memorial Day weekend is almost here. And yes, while I may be a bit behind in decorating my house in all of it’s red, white, and blue glory, that doesn’t mean that I’m not ready for summer to begin. The only question is, “What will be I making this weekend to celebrate three days of not having to go to work?” While I don’t exactly know the answer to that question yet, I’m pretty sure that all of the recipes below would be a great way to get things started.

1

Is there a better way to kick off a three-day weekend than with Dainty White Pepper Biscuits for Saturday morning breakfast? I think not.

2

And you’re sure as Superman flies gonna need something to go along with those biscuits, so why not break out your dusty crockpot and make this Summer Garden Breakfast Crockpot Hash?

3

If you don’t have a crockpot, simply put together these Breakfast Burrito Green Chile Enchiladas instead. Your stomach will thank you.

4

So maybe now we should focus on what to make if you have a few people coming over to help you kick-off the summer. Turkey Meatballs in Spicy Beer Marmalade Sauce are an easy peasy appetizer that everyone will love.

5

And how could we have a holiday without deviled eggs? It’s just not possible. These Simple Sun-Dried Tomato Deviled Eggs are still my current faves. However, you can check out my full list of deviled eggs by clicking HERE.

Now, this next recipe is for when you need to feed a small army or just have a serious addiction to olives. Muffuletta Pasta Salad has everything you could ever want in a pasta salad.

7

I’m not sure why everyone things that cooking out is the best idea on a holiday weekend. I myself think that simple, fast, ready-in-practically-no-time-at-all meals are the way to go. These Lemony Mayonnaise Cod, Shrimp, and Asparagus Parchment Paper Wrapped Bundles are a quick way to get dinner on the table fast in the most delicious way possible.

8

Then there are these Drunken Irish Mussels, which practically make me swoon, slobber, and faint in pure happiness. A big bowl of these will feed a lot of people as an appetizer or a few people as a main course. I’ll let you decide just how many you think you can eat.

9

Bread that takes no time at all to bake, is it possible? You bet it is with this Southern Honey Drenched Jalapeño Cornbread. This is the perfect accompaniment to any meal. I’m not kidding y’all, it goes with almost everything.

10

How can you have a day off from work without wanting to make cookies? It’s a thing, right? These Weeping Angel Cherry Don’t Blinks are not only pretty, crunchy, soft, and delicious, they are also boozed up and ready to make your tummy super thrilled.

11

Summer=Pie, always, always, always. This Summer Blueberry Pie Crisp is super easy to throw together for those of you who become complete imbeciles where homemade pie crust is concerned.

12

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, especially when it’s this Strawberry Sauce Reese’s Ice Cream. It’s pure heaven in a spoon with Reese’s. What’s not to love? Don’t forget to check out our Summer’s Coming Favorite Ice Cream List for more ice cream recipes and tips.

Last but not least, there’s cake. Cake without icing, which just happens to be my favorite. And if that’s not enough for y’all, there’s also butter, lots and lots of butter. This Aloha Hawaiian Pineapple Butter Cake is just about the most perfect way I can think of to say, “Why hello there summer, so glad that you’re finally here.”
