Vegetarian Recipes for Memorial Day

Everyone should eat together -- that's what cooking and sharing a meal is all about. So, here are our suggestions for a few fun things to grill or chill for your celebration this Memorial Day. Have a great Monday, y'all!


1. Italian-Style Eggplant Sausages: These are so simple, and they pretty much beat any store-bought brand.

2. Grilled Watermelon and Tomato Salad: It's pretty, and it's always a hit whenever we serve it.

3. Grilled Artichokes with Tarragon Butter: Say yes to this dish. It's a smoky, herb-infused update to a classic.

4. Smoky Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas: Everyone will love these, even the kids!

5. BBQ Portobello Sandwich: You have to have some BBQ on Memorial Day, so you might as well do it your way.

6. Blueberry Cream Snow Cones: Something cold like this from scratch takes a little planning ahead, but oh, these sure are worth it. 

7. Grilled Peach Ice Cream: My grandfather's summer tradition. 

8. Blackberry-Apple Hand Pies: Small, cute, portable: you really can sub in any fruit you have on hand for these.
