I would like to thank all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives serving our country so that we might be able to enjoy our freedom. May God bless American and the families of all those who have lost loved ones while serving our country.

I don’t know how Memorial Day weekend snuck up on me, but it did. Honestly, the past month has been crazy since we were living in a hotel for nearly three weeks before being thrown in the a whirlwind of activities, including BlogHer Food in Miami, three high school senior proms and a graduation.

So, I’ve just started thinking about what we’re going to make this coming weekend as we celebrate the beginning of summer vacation for two of my boys. With all four of my boys home, it’s a treat so I know I’ll be busy in the kitchen and hopefully grilling too if the weather’s nice. I hope you’ll find some cooking inspiration in this roundup of 20+ Healthy Memorial Day Recipes.

Everyone loves dips, so I’m thinking of starting off with a couple of fun appetizers:

I love serving lots of different salads for everyone to choose from – the more the merrier. So here are some festive salads that would be perfect:

Power Berry Avocado Almond Salad

Broccoli Cauliflower Carrot Salad with Greek Yogurt Honey Dressing

I’m planning on firing up the grill this weekend – there’s something special about the first couple of barbecues of the season. I’ll probably make one chicken and one fish dish for variety.
