My Top 5 Recipes for Memorial Day Weekend

 1.  Red, White, and Blue Pie Pops - these are festive and delicious

We don’t really have anything planned this Memorial Day weekend, but Chris and I hope to enjoy a picnic and some bike riding together.  Here are a few recipes that would be great for a picnic, barbeque, or any get together for that matter.

 2.  Mexican Style Grilled Corn - These are always a hit and they epitomize summer for our family.

 3.  Cranberry-Lime Rosé Spritzer - during the warmer months my Rosé intake increases and this is my favorite way to enjoy it.

4.  Mamey, French Vanilla, and Passion Fruit Popsicles - these are the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day.

5. Bacon and Blue Cheese Guacamole - every barbeque needs some guacamole.  Try this version for a new spin on a classic.

Red, White, and Blue Pie Pops

I've been wanting to experiment with other variations of desserts on a stick besides the cakepop.  Enter pie pops!  I was inspired by this recipe, but made it my own with the use of store bought pie dough, the addition of fresh blueberries and strawberries and of course some wooden popsicle sticks.  These mini pies make for the perfect 4th of July treat. Not only will they add a festive touch to any Independence Day get-together, but they are simple to prepare and extremely delicious.
