The three day weekend that really kicks off the summer is finally upon us.  I don’t know about you but I cannot believe June is next week!  2013 is flying by.

If you are heading out to a Memorial Day party this weekend and can’t decide what to bring with you, any of these recipes are sure to be a hit.  And remember it’s never a bad idea to show up to a party with a little homemade treat.  Everyone will enjoy it.

Even people who don’t particularly like Guacamole (and I should know because I use to be one of them), will love this Guacamole recipe and you won’t have any left over! (click here for the recipe)

The Roasted Garlic & Jalapeno Sweet Corn recipe takes a little bit of work and a food processor, but I promise you that you won’t regret spending the time to make it! (click here for the recipe)

Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies?  This recipe from a college roommate is the best I’ve ever had!  (click her for the recipe)

Last, but certainly not least…these Abita Strawberry Cupcakes are the perfect excuse to pick up a case of the Abita Strawberry Harvest Beer.  You show up with the cupcakes and beer and everyone will want to be your best friend! (click here for the recipe)

This Memorial Day weekend as you head out to relax or hang out with friends don’t forget it is a time to remember those who have or are serving in our military.  After all it is because of their service and sacrifice that we can celebrate Memorial Day.  Both of my Granddads served in the military during World War II and on Memorial Day I always think of them.  Besides, how cute were they?  

My-Granddads

Both of my Granddads served in the Army Air Force.  Yup you read that correctly; when they both first served in the military the Air Force was not a separate entity.  So I guess technically they were both Army men.  Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!
