Memorial Day Cookout

All-American Burgers

Next weekend is Memorial Day! Even if you aren't going to throw a party, find some way to celebrate. I like using this holiday to grill some burgers, marking the unofficial start to summer. Any of these menus will fit the bill. And fly the flag!

Memorial Day Cookout: Pesto Stuffed Burgers

Wednesday May 21, 2008
For one (or more!) cookouts this weekend, try my Pesto Stuffed Burgers, a tender burger filled with delicious and flavorful pesto. Serve it with a no-cook sweet potato salad, one of my favorite fruit salads, lots of potato chips (natch!) and a spectacular ice cream dessert that will make everyone smile with delight.

A Tale of Three Recipes

Tuesday May 20, 2008
Remember when I wrote about a recipe disaster that turned into a delicious appetizer? At the time, I couldn't give you the original recipe because the book it was from, Joyce Lamont's Minnesota Recipes and Radio Memories, wasn't published. It is now, so here's the recipe for Roast Beef Roll-Ups. Or you could make the Roast Beef Filo Cups or the excellent grilled sandwich with that filling. Enjoy!
