Let’s celebrate Memorial Day and the Fourth of July with these mouth-watering collection of sweet, savory, and patriotic recipes sure to make everyone smile! Perfectly delicious dishes for picnics, potlucks or any holiday grathering. Perfect crowd-pleaser recipes!
When we first came to the USA, about 10 years ago, one thing that truly struck us was the patriotism of Americans. In our small town here in Michigan so many houses have the American flag hoisted in their front lawn. In the Philippines, we only do this, if at all, during our own Independence Day, and after that, the flag goes back to the closet and won’t be taken out again until the next year. But here, it’s there pretty much the whole year through.
The patriotism is even more evident during Memorial Day and of course, the 4th of July (which incidentally is celebrated in the Philippines as Filipino-American Friendship Day, though am not certain if it is still declared as an official holiday there, it was when I was in elementary but I won’t reveal the particular years, lest I inadvertently reveal my young (???) age. 🙂 Anyway, we have almost religiously watched the Memorial Day Parade every year in our town and it is always so touching to see how much they honor and salute the veterans as they walk along the streets of Downtown Holland. Some members of our church are veterans so we also look forward to seeing them parade down the street every year. It is such a special day, indeed.
Of course, after the parade is finished it’s time for a picnic at the park or a get-together at someone else’s house. We go to whoever invites our family as we don’t really have any relatives in the area. Well, for those who are planning to have a get-together this Memorial Day or the 4th of July – here’s a wonderful round-up of delicious recipes that’s sure to make everyone smile! Pick and choose the recipe that you fancy and I am sure, they’ll all be yummy! Happy Memorial weekend for now!
