Greetings!   

Memorial Day weekend is always filled with many different activities. It has different meanings to each individual and family. Some people honor the men and women of our armed forces and others celebrate a three day weekend with barbeques. I believe great things happen when family and friends come together for a meal. So get ready to warm up the coals, pull out the cooler, and create a spread of summer salads and side dishes. We've got some EXCITING things going on in the kitchen!
