Memorial Day: Honoring Heroes and Creating Memories
Memorial Day, the unofficial start to summer, is a time when we come together to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It’s also a time for family, friends, and food, as we kick off the season with backyard BBQs, picnics, and outdoor gatherings. Join us as we celebrate the beginning of summer with gratitude in our hearts and delicious flavors on our plates!
Mocktails and Cocktails!
Blueberry Lemon Breeze
Sweet-tart blueberries and sour lemon are an ultimate flavor combination, and pair perfectly with blueberry vodka to create a light, sparkling cocktail that guests will enjoy sipping.
Summer Salads
Watermelon Feta Salad with Mint
This refreshing and vibrant summer dish from Farm Flavor combines sweet,juicy watermelon with tangy feta cheese and fresh mint leaves. The sweet and savory flavors are balanced by the freshness of the mint, creating a light and delicious salad that is perfect for hot days.
Lettuceless Greek Salad with Chickpeas
You won’t miss the lettuce in this fresh twist on the classic Greek salad from Farm Flavor. Packed with protein-rich chickpeas, the absence of the lettuce allows the vibrant flavors of the vegetables and the creaminess of the feta to shine through, creating a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for warmer days.
Loaded Potato Salad
Potato salad is synonymous with picnics and barbecues, and this one is loaded, just like the name says, with lots of good stuff!
Broccoli Salad
Enjoy as is or try out a combo of broccoli and cauliflower, add raisins or halved grapes instead of craisins, and chopped pecans or walnuts in place of sunflower seeds. Looking to lighten it up? Substitute reduced fat mayo for some or all of the mayo, and reduce the sugar to 2 tablespoons.
Main Fare
Chicago Style Hot Dogs
Enjoy a taste of the Windy City with this iconic dish from Farm Flavor. A favorite for hot dog enthusiasts, it showcases the vibrant and delicious flavors that define Chicago’s culinary tradition.
Portobello Swiss Cheese Burger
With its umami-rich mushroom, melty cheese, and flavorful aioli, this portobello burger is a delicious and satisfying alternative to the traditional beef patty burger.
New England Clambake
You may not be able to get away this holiday weekend, but you can enjoy the next best thing - a New England Clambake. You may be missing the sand and surf, but you’ll still enjoy those delicious flavors, and a one-pot meal that makes entertaining easy.
St. Louis Style Pork Spareribs
Ribs are another popular barbecue food, but need to be cooked low and slow over indirect heat for melt in your mouth ribs like these. Don’t be tempted to speed the process up or you’ll end up with overcooked, tough ribs instead of tender meat that falls off the bone.
