Memorial Day

The servicemen and women of our country make huge sacrifices to fight battles on our behalf and keep the freedoms we hold dear. One of those sacrifices is being away from their families and loved ones for long periods of time.

Memorial Day Weekend means it''s time to dust off the grill and prepare some delicious burgers, steaks and ribs. Here are a few recipes to get you started.

As Memorial Day opens the gate to summer, we all begin to plan our outdoor activities. Most of us will find a reason to get outside for the long weekend and enjoy food, friends, family and some delicious beverages. And really, it wouldn’t be a summer holiday without some grilling.

The weather isn't the only thing that's going to be HOT this Memorial Day weekend if you make these mouth watering burgers from Taste of Home.  The beauty is that after you make the burgers your job is done.  Your family and guests take over and dress them up the way they want.

Many of us are looking forward to the long weekend ahead.  Some are camping, some are opening up the cabin for the summer and some are planning on staying home, sleeping in and picnicking.  However, the weekend leads to an important day, Memorial Day Monday.    Make your plans with your family to attend the Memorial Day Parade and Veteran's Memorial Ceremony to honor our Veterans.

Memorial Day Weekend is coming up the end of this week, are you ready?  Besides getting ready for your picnics, camping and opening up the cabin, you also need to remember why the day exists.  Every year I forget to do my family duty until the last minute.  This year, you're helping me remember.  Since I'm blogging about it, I'm also getting it done earlier than ever before.

As we celebrate another Memorial Day today, I found a lot of videos and things that pay tribute to the men and woman who have died serving our country.  This is one of the best due to the simple approach and powerful images.

Americans across the country celebrate Memorial Day in honor of those who have died while in the military service. Though it's a day of remembrance, it also kicks off the most fun part of the year -- summer! For many, Memorial Day signals the beginning of beach season and barbecues. So let's celebrate America with these fun GIFs!

When you think of Memorial Day Weekend, you think camping, fishing, grilling and the official kick-off to summer.  But, it is also the weekend and the Monday that we honor our Veterans, our fallen heroes, those that have served and those that continue to protect our Country.  West Duluth has been commemorating Memorial Day with a huge parade every year.  Here is information that will make parking

Hooo boy, it is so close to being summer, we can practically hear the incessant song of the ice cream truck already. Frankly we don't want to wait until Monday to kick off the season. We can't. We've lost all control. Here are some pics of animals in kiddie pools to prove it.

Got any Memorial Day plans? Maybe you’re heading to a parade and dressing up in those American flag shorts (guilty). Or perhaps heading to the public pool to kick off swimming season is more your style. Whatever you do, there’s one Memorial Day staple that all Americans must experience on Monday— the BBQ.

Your choice of meat to grill isn't usually a problem.  We all have our favorite meats, flavors and sauces.  But, what do you serve with it?  Potato salad, maybe.  Chips, for sure!  Corn on the cob?  Yup!  But, don't forget the beans which are a summertime staple (and loaded with protein)!  Here is a tasty recipe from Taste of Home to round out your picnic fare this weekend.  It makes a BIG batch,
