Memorial day marks the first real tease of the summer season. Cut-off shorts, sun glasses and cold beer become acceptable attire for just about any occasion, making this my absolute favorite time of year. Day parties turn into night parties that turn into dawn parties, and this beautiful cycle repeats every single weekend. It’s heavenly. A crucial part to any summer shindig is having the right ingredients. Sure, you can get away with an ice chest full of cold beer and a tub of mystery punch, but why not take it up a notch?

    Definitely the burger with ruffles. I don't eat beef so I would probably try it with a turkey burger.

    I like the lettuce wraps! It's a great (and healthier) alternative to burgers!

    Don't forget the alcohol for those wild summer parties. Musou wine tastes great as a marinade for pork skewers.
