55 Easy Memorial Day Recipes

Growing up, my family got together every year for Memorial Day weekend. We’d spend a couple days at my Aunt & Uncle’s property in rural West Virginia — eating, playing, shooting fireworks, and just hanging out.

Those are some of the best memories from my childhood!

Food is always a central part of any of our family get-togethers, so I wanted to share some of our favorite easy Memorial Day recipes. There are patriotic red, white, and blue desserts (my favorite!), crowd-pleasing appetizers, and easy dishes perfect for any potluck.
