My Memorial Day Musts

It's almost the long weekend!!! I know you working types are looking forward to it.  This weekend J, the pooches & I are heading up to our friends cabin in Big Bear for a weekend of hiking, eating & a LOT of relaxing.  With the holiday weekend quickly approaching, I wanted to share some of my favorite recipes that are perfect whether you're spending it next to a pool, grilling with friends or just hanging out with your dog (yes, I've done that). These recipes are simple to throw together & will be sure to please a crowd (or your dog).  I will be trying some new recipes this weekend & as my friend Matt so brilliantly came up with,  will be posting a Chaos in the Cabin edition next week with some new recipes!

If you decide to make any of the recipes below, please let me know what you think/if you have any feedback! I encourage you to leave comments on the post! Thanks all!
