Memorial Day isn't just a day off from work (although that's one of the reasons I love it so much). It's a day to remember and honor those who have died, specifically those in the Armed Forces. We do that by having early summer cookouts and enjoying great food and even better company. Looking for something to bring to your party? Think foods that you can grill and side dishes that are barbecue worthy. Recipes that are red, white and blue are also perfect. Here's a selection that will make any party rock.
