Great Ideas for the Memorial Day BBQ
Memorial weekend is a time to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We honor them by spending time together as family, friends, and neighbors… celebrating the very freedom we have because of their sacrifice.
It’s also a time to kick-start the summer season full of soccer tournaments, parades, and barbeques. Take the weekend to try some of these easy DIY projects and have your home ready for the whole summer season!

Food & Drink Recipes
- Double Dipped Strawberries: These are so simple, you’ll wonder why you’ve never made them before. Dip half of a cleaned and dried strawberry into warmed white chocolate, then dip the tip into blue edible sparkles. Set to dry and continue with the rest of the strawberries.
- RW&B Flag Tray: Another simple idea if you’re short on time, but want to be big on impact. Layer small white chocolate covered pretzels and strawberry haves on a baking sheet. Put a pint of blueberries in the top left corner. Easy Peasy!
- Grilled Lemon Salmon Filets: While most will be grilling burgers and hot dogs, add this simple protein to the grill for a fresh meal. Needs just a hand full of ingredients that we’re sure you already have in your pantry.
