Memorial Day Weekend

When I say it’s simple– it’s really freaking simple.

When life hands you grapefruits, make grapefruit margaritas — Clayton’s Grapefruit Margaritas!

This watermelon limeade cocktail is easy to make, and wayyy to easy to drink. In fact, sipping on it reminds me of sucking on a watermelon-flavored jolly rancher — which I am NOT MAD about! 

It’s creamy, delicious, spicy, oh-so addicting and one that all of your guests will love (whole30 or not).

These have a smokey bacon flavor, heat from the jalapeno, delicious touch of seafood from the shrimp and my favorite part? The garlicky butter they drizzle over the whole thing!

It’s a great side to summer BBQ-ing, or you can get elegant and serve it with grilled lamb chops! yum! 

This german-inspired take on potato salad is served warm with bacon, a tangy-mustardy dressing and sauerkraut. It’s zingy, it’s easy to make and it’s a total crowd pleaser!

What’s not to love about potatoes, homemade mayo, and buffalo sauce all combined to make a delicious, perfect potato salad? 

My hope is that this guide helps you know the overall cook times and technique – but HAVE SOME FUN with your veggies and seasonings! 

Spicy Lamb Grilled “Pizzettas” (or small pizzas) are the perfect at-home grilling recipe to spice up your weekend OR the perfect easy summer entertaining appetizer. 

The flavors are fun, they scream SUMMER-TIME, and it’s something everyone will enjoy! 

The entire meal comes together in absolutely no time at all, making these Bang Bang Shrimp Skewers with Sesame Slaw definitely one to be at the top of your summer grilling hit list!

One of the best things in life is a big, classic juicy burger.

In this recipe, I have simply marinated boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can sub chicken breast if you prefer) in a harissa-yogurt combination that is tangy, warm — and all-around delightful.

Nothing says the South like some good ole deep-fried chicken.

Delicious grilled chicken thighs with the *most amazing* chipotle and whiskey infused BBQ sauce. 

I obviously ditched the bun and opted to serve my bratwursts alongside some beautifully grilled cabbage. You can absolutely ditch the cabbage and serve yours on a soft bun. You do you!

This Grilled Greek Steak recipe is such a good go-to! Easy to whip up and oh-so flavorful, it’s bound to be a fan favorite on your table.

Here we have a complete meal all made on the grill that is phenomenal and one that everyone will just love! 

This sauce couldn’t be easier to whip up and it makes the ribs have a fantastic sweet, sticky, and a little smokey flavor. 

Tender, juicy, flavorful slow-cooker beef brisket smothered in a homemade barbecue sauce…this is what dreams are made of!
