These 10 last minute Memorial Day recipes will help you finally figure out what you’re making this weekend! I have you covered from main course to dessert.
It’s finally summer! Well, it’s almost the kickoff to summer – Memorial Day! I’m hoping this means that Mother Nature will get her act together and start giving me some sun. My plan for the weekend is to totally suck upthe vitamin D and maybe get a tan.
In reality I will probably just eat too many hot dogs and drink too many drinks.
What can I say. I’m classy.
So anyway, I put together this fancy little round up to help give you a few Memorial Day ideas. If you’re anything like me you’re still attempting to figure out what to bring to all the BBQ’s you are attending this weekend. If this weeks recipes (peanut butter and jelly chicken wings, strawberry goat cheese quinoa salad and buttermilk Southwestern chicken wings) didn’t inspire you (which I totally hope they did!) you might just find a few new favorites in this post!
Have a great weekend friends!
Hello main course! Memorial day is not set if I do not have a grilled hot dog. I know that sounds totally lame but I need my grilled dogs. It’s my mental kick off to summer. Normally I just smother them in yellow (not brown!) mustard but sometimes I get fancy and add on salsa, coleslaw and even homemade chili. Oh and if you’re really looking it impress you could always make a grilled pork tenderloin. So good!
P.S. Don’t forget the potato salad. It’s a BBQ must!

You did not think I would put together a holiday round-up and think I would forget cocktails! You know me, right?
Lastly we have dessert. How can any party happen and not have dessert. Each of these dishes are super easy to throw together and will have your guests comings back for seconds. Trust me, you need to make at least one of these recipes!
Red, White and Blueberry Sour Cream Tart
















I feel like this post was written with me in mind because last minute is what I’m all about. Wait. That doesn’t sound so good. But you know what I mean – love these last minute tips for throwing together the perfect holiday weekend meals!
Wow what a wonderful post. I have the luxury of NO plans this weekend, which is highly unlikely. Thus if something comes up, it will definitely be last minute. I am taken care of here.
Perfect timing! I still needed a dessert for my Memorial Day menu and those cheesecake stuffed strawberries are calling my name!
These all look amazing! Pinned 🙂
It’s hard to believe it’s Memorial Day already!! Great round up … Can I have both the drinks? Like right now?
These all look absolutely amazing….thanks for putting together my holiday menu!!! 🙂
We are doing nothing for Mem Day, but I must remember to make that pie for the 4th of July!
