Memorial Day BBQ

If you were to ask me what 5 words come to mind for Memorial Day weekend, they would be:

  1. Picnic
  2. Barbeque
  3. Family
  4. American
  5. Summer

Wishing you a happy & safe Memorial Day weekend!  Growing up, my great-grandmother’s birthday fell on this weekend.  I have many fond memories with cousins – family, celebrating at a park with one of those checkered red and white tablecloths.  We enjoyed a long leisurely lunch with side salads, fried chicken, and frisbee throwing in the background.  Great-grandmother, Ganny, as we called her, would kindly share some of her patriotic birthday cake with us grandkids.  It was the best! Looking back, I typically correlate this long weekend as initiating us into summer. 🙂 Hooray!

BBQ Pork Sandwiches

Here is an easy favorite pulled pork sandwich that can be made ahead of time – we’re talkin’ 4 ingredients here, folks (pork loin, onion, Dr. Pepper, and barbeque sauce).   Enjoy with some of these delicious sides & desserts!

Don’t forget the pie!
