I hope you will try one of my favorite recipes listed here, and leave a comment or send in your favorite backyard barbecue recipes.

Please take a moment to remember those who have given their lives for our country and our freedom. Please say a prayer of thanks at your dinner table on Memorial Day for all fallen soldiers. We are able to celebrate our holidays with our family and friends because of them.

Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend, everyone!
