Memorial Day!

Yay Memorial Day Weekend! Just kidding, I work all weekend but it's fine because I have Memorial Day off (not required where I work) so I'm happy that I get to spend time with my Boyfriend's family and my family. :)
If you don't know Pinterest is my life and I will most likely refer to it over and over again until you hate hearing about it BUT until then here are my list and links to my favorite, easy to make Memorial Day themed foods! Enjoy!


1) Oreo Pops
My Boyfriend is an oreo fanatic! So clearly these are on my list of yummies. :)

2) Firework Pasta Salad
I am in love with this pasta, always have been always will be. It's a must to add to your BBQ. Great mixture of flavors and absolutely delicious on a hot day by the pool with your loved ones.
I made this Fireworks Pasta Salad for our Memorial Day BBQ, only I made it without the fire. I loved it! I still added some cayenne for flavor and I recommend using the noodle size (for me it makes it just a little bit nicer).  Making this hot would be amazing. Keeping this recipe for future big cookouts!

3) Fruit Flag Pizza
Okay I don't know about you but I don't want heavy sweets on a hot day spent outside, especially by the pool. Makes you feel sluggish and not very refreshed. This isn't Thanksgiving ya'll. So my personal suggestion? Fruit Flag Pizza. Portable, sweet enough to kick out your sweet tooth and you can get more refreshing than fruit! Plus, look how pretty!

4) Cheesecake Strawberries
Okay if anyone asked me what Heaven in a food is, it's these. They're so delicious and are absolutely a fan favorite. I think I'll make these for my celebration too! Super easy, huge hit.

5) Pepperoni Pinwheel Pizzas
Um yes please! Men love their pizza and this presentation is quick, easy and loved by all (that love pizza of course) I like to roll cheese and pepperoni's and dip them in sauce! Mix it up, but this link is one way to do it. Also, you can always get creative and make veggie pinwheels or meat lovers!

6) Layered Drinks
I'm not a huge drinker, I'm definitely not a drunk-to-party person but I can enjoy these fruity drinks on a hot Summer's day. They're so pretty, who wouldn't want to try them!

7) BBQ Kebobs
Last but definitely not least, the main contender! BBQ Chicken. Oh. My. Gosh. I love BBQ chicken with my whole heart. All American Girl and my favorite food is BBQ Chicken...go figure. This recipe is delish and what has bacon, is worth trying!

Enjoy your long weekend and eat some great food while celebrating and remembering the fallen. 'Merica.
