20 Recipes for Memorial Day!! Firing up the grill this weekend or getting together with friends for a BBQ? Here are 20 recipes to help you plan for the BEST Memorial Day weekend ever!
Hey guys! I can’t believe Memorial Day is this weekend! The weather has finally warmed up here in Wisconsin and it has been glorious! We have a lot of fun things planned for this weekend and will be getting together with friends to grill!
Recently, the kind folks at Kwee Jack Fish Co. dropped off some wild Alaskan sockeye salmon. They are a local co-op who go out and fish in the Kvichak (Kwee-Jack) River in Alaska every summer. Kwee-Jack Fish Co. is passionate about bringing the highest quality wild Alaskan sockeye efficiently and affordably from where they fish in Bristol Bay to the tables of our communities. When I learned about this company, I was thrilled. Having moved here to Madison from Seattle, where the salmon, fish and seafood was plentiful, I was so eager to taste this salmon!
If you’re in Madison and interested in learning more and placing an order for this delicious salmon, click here. I saved some salmon to share with my friends and we will be grilling this up this weekend, along with burgers, hot dogs and I’m also making seafood paella. Might be a weird choice for Memorial Day but it was requested and it’s our friend, Bill’s birthday! (Paella is his fave so there’s no pressure at all of course!) And this time I’m using a paella pan so I’m expecting (hoping) the results will be amazing.
Since food is my thing, I’m going to leave you guys with 20 fabulous recipes for Memorial Day! Grilling, burgers, sides, salads and dessert. Wishing everyone a great weekend! And I’ll be back here tomorrow with something fabulous!!! I hope you check it out!
