Memorial Day Cookout

I love holidays, all of them. Any excuse to decorate really! So for Memorial Day we did a small little cookout and I got to try out some new recipes. They were delicious so I thought I'd share!

 Out table spread, just waiting for the burgers off the grill and the fried pickles...

Which were delicious and so easy. I used a slight variation of this Fried Dill Pickles recipe. Definitely best when they are fresh from the fryer! The sauce really tops them off!

 

This was AMAZING - Paula Deen's Strawberry Shortcake recipe. After stuffing our faces, this was the perfect dessert. It is very light and has fruit in it so it's healthy, right?

I will definitely be making both of these again! Hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day! Thanks to those that serve our country!
