Memorial Day Weekend Recipes

Last week, I promised to:

-post a birthday gift idea

-give a sneak peak to a BBQ shower I'm hosting tomorrow night

-throw out a few Memorial Day recipes

It's Thursday, and I've done none of that. Instead, I've posted my weird iphone photos, written poems, and just generally broke any promise I made.

It's not that I want to break my promise to you... it just happens.

Similar to when I realize it's Thursday and I haven't worked out all week, but instead watched Housewives of Anywhere every night.

Oh well- there's no time like the present! So, lets tackle those Memorial Day recipes, shall we?

First, let me say this:

Disclaimer #1: This blog has never been, isn't, and will never be a place where you will find original tried and true recipes from my own kitchen.

Disclaimer #2: The only exception is when I grow my own garden someday and make my own fresh salsa, which I consider a food group.

Disclaimer #3: That won't happen anytime in the near future.

Disclaimer #4: This is the final disclaimer.

Now that we got that out of the way, lets move onto the recipes. Consider me a train conductor, merely pointing you in the direction of goodness. I just have two to share, but I think they are definite goodies that should be tried out over the long weekend.

Wouldn't these be a perfect treat to end a long day on the lake?

These make my heart very happy. If I do nothing else this weekend, I will try these. Maybe even add a splash of something alcoholic...
