📅 Food Holidays

There's a lack of interesting holidays this week besides Memorial Day!

Use frozen meatballs to get a head start on the honey garlic meatballs.
Double the recipe for the Honey Garlic Meatballs and freeze half. You'll have an easy dinner when you need it.
Make extra fried potatoes to serve with breakfast later in the week.
Leftover grilled chicken and bourbon peaches are delicious when added to a salad. Or use the leftover chicken chopped up in the Frito chicken casserole.
Lemon icebox pie freezes like a dream so make a couple and enjoy them all summer long.
Freeze leftover biscuits and use them for the base to strawberry shortcake later on.
If you don't want to make the stars for the fruit salad out of peaches you can use a tiny star cutter and make stars out of bananas like I did with the plain cheesecake.

Grilled Chicken and Bourbon Peaches

This is one of my favorite recipes for the grill! Grilled Chicken Breast is tender & juicy but when you add those bourbon peaches the whole dish becomes amazing.

Frito Corn Salad

Who's going to turn down a salad made with Fritos corn chips? This Frito corn salad is colorful and has lots of Tex-Mex flavor. It's perfect for potlucks because it feeds a crowd or people.

Plain Cheesecake with Fruit

This is my go to basic cheesecake recipe. It always comes out smooth and creamy with no cracks in the top!

Frito Chicken Casserole

Chicken, beans, cheese, and Fritos make this Frito Chicken Casserole a family favorite. You can assemble this ahead of time, too!

Drop Biscuits

I love drop biscuits because they are easy and don't make a mess! No need to knead so the counters stay clean. Serve them with strawberry butter or apricot pineapple jam. I also use them as the base for my favorite strawberry shortcake.

Lemon Ice Box Pie

This easy no bake Lemon Icebox pie has just 3 ingredients! It's so rich and creamy, plus you can make it ahead of time and freeze it! Serve it thawed or frozen - it's always a big hit!

Macaroni Salad

If you are grilling burgers on Memorial Day you need this classic macaroni salad on the side! It's creamy and delicious with plenty of green olives. You may also want to try my bbq macaroni salad for a little change.

Fruit Salad

I love this easy summer fruit salad because not only is it delicious with the honey lime dressing but it's also pretty and festive for all the summer holidays, picnics, potlucks, and church suppers!

Fresh Strawberry Pie

You've got to have pie on Memorial Day and my pick is this fresh strawberry pie with Jello like the one they used to serve at Shoneys! It really lets the berry flavor shine through.

Slow Cooker Root Beer Chicken

Perfect for those busy weeknights! Root beer chicken is delicious as a hot sandwich or in a wrap.

Circus Animal Ice Cream

I've always loved those frosted circus animal cookies and they're even better in this circus animal ice cream. It's fun, it's pink, and it's ice cream - you can't ask for much more than that.
