Celebrate Memorial Day 2013 with Delicious Recipes

The Memorial Day holiday weekend signals the start of summer, and what better way to kick it off than to fire up the grill and celebrate with some delicious recipes? If you're still looking for ideas, several home improvement companies have some suggestions: Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet recommends a complete menu of Rustic Gazpacho with Grilled Shrimp, Homemade Sweet Potato and Beet Chips, Bacon Bison Burgers and an Oberon Flip cocktail to get your party started. Several of the dishes involve grilling to create that unmistakeable flavor and fresh ingredients that are sure to please.

If grilling is your game, you'll want to check out Pike Nurseries' "10 Commandments of Grilling", which are designed to ensure best results when cooking for a crowd. Our favorites among the tips? Always keep the grate clean!

If you've already got some herbs popping up in your garden or just like the taste of fresh herbs, check out "Fresh Ways to Use Fresh Herbs From Your Garden" from Atlanta's Habersham Gardens. 

Some Herb Roasted New Potatoes are a classic recipe that would go great with a nice juicy steak,no?
