Memorial Day Dinner on the Grill

For Memorial Day, the grill is absolutely necessary. There's nothing like a tender and juicy burger, smoky with grill flavor, served with summer's best recipes. This menu is perfect for entertaining. Most of the recipes can be made ahead of time; just pull them out of the fridge and eat or plop them on the grill and cook.

Be sure to set a pretty table too. Use red, white, and blue colors in your plates, flatware, tablecloth, napkins, and centerpiece. Have a wonderful celebration!

Memorial Day Dinner on the Grill Menu

• Best Lemonade Recipe
  This easy recipe starts with simple syrup, which is key to making smooth and flavorful lemonade. Make extra lemonade and freeze in an ice cube tray for cubes that won't dilute your drink as they melt!
• Bacon Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes
  Oh man, whenever I make this recipe people swoon. They go in a flash, which makes it hard for me to get a bite! Your guests will love them too.
• Cheese Stuffed Burgers
  I've been finding the best avocados in the market recently, and they were the inspiration for this recipe. Melted cheese, juicy beef, and smooth and buttery avocados. What could be better than that?
• Grilled Hash Brown Potatoes
  Potatoes made this way on the grill are crisp, moist, and smoky with a fabulous cheese melt. They might be better than the burger!
• Overnight Fruit Salad
  This wonderful recipe is made ahead of time so you're not rushed at the last minute. The raspberries and strawberries are added at the end so they stay bright and clean.
• Vegetable Packets
  Vegetables, all seasoned with garlicky, mustardy butter, grill together in this fabulous recipe. Make ahead of time and store in the fridge up to 12 hours before grilling.
• Red, White and Blue Trifle
  I love this easy and colorful recipe. It has to be made ahead of time too, so on Memorial Day you can relax and enjoy your party!
