If you have been reading for awhile then you know my love for all things summer...it starts on the unofficial kick off to summer and that is Memorial Day Weekend.
I am obsessed with all things patriotic and all things red, white and blue so I get decorating early and let those decorations stay up all summer and through Labor Day Weekend.
I start my summer planting around Memorial Day too and several years I have gone with a red, white and blue theme with my flowers.
I just remembered that Memorial Day is a little over two weeks away- eek! So exciting. Our weekend is still shaping up (we have a softball tournament for Eva and a party to attend on Monday but we want to host something fun too so we will see how that shakes out)...I can't wait for the excitement of it all.
Today, I thought I would share a little inspiration with YOU!
How about some festive appetizers and main dishes to kick things off?
A Patriotic Charcuterie Board? Yes Please!
Red, White and Blue Bites made with triscuits, blue cheese and strawberries (I drizzled truffle honey over these- delish!)
A Yummy and Festive Dip? Going to give this one a shot this year! You can find the recipe HERE
Lobster Roll Sliders- always a big hit! You can find my recipe HERE
Patriotic Bites include watermelon, feta and blackberries and sometimes I will add a sprig of mint for flavor
and lastly a Red, White and Blue Burger- YUM!
Top your burger with mozzarella, blue cheese and roasted red peppers- sounds so good. Check out the recipe HERE
and a celebration would not be complete without dessert of course!
A Festive Charcuterie Board makes such a great statement on the table
Patriotic Bites? Yes please! The rolo bites are always a big hit!
Red, White and Blue Rice Krispee Treats? Definitely giving these a shot this year! Check out the recipe HERE
and finally...next up Centerpieces! I always have so much fun putting together patriotic arrangements!
Here are a few for inspiration
and here are a few I whipped up over the years- one of my favorite ways to kick off summer :)
So any plans for Memorial Day Weekend? How do you kick off summer? Any special traditions? I want to hear it all!

Fun, Holly! I always enjoy seeing pictures of the themed food that you make for events and have tried several of your recipes. They always turn out and look amazing as well. I like your centerpieces, too. Good job, mama! We don't have a lot of traditions to kick the summer off. But I may borrow some of your ideas as inspo this year...
Holly, I love all of your Memorial Day weekend inspiration ideas. I love the lobster rolls and the floral arrangements. We always go to my brother and sister in laws for a party. I hope you have fun whatever you do for MD weekend.
Oh so fun! We sort of make each Memorial day weekend a little bit different-- some years we've watched the parade and gotten ice cream, others we've had cookouts, some we go away.
