Memorial Day 2013

Memorial Day Roundup!

Are you all going to barbecues this weekend? Don’t show up empty-handed. Have some class! Take one of these amazing make-ahead dishes that will wow the pants off of everyone.

Amaze Balls and Awesome Sauce Delectable candied bacon and fontina cheese, stuffed into monkey bread balls, served with a sauce made from raspberry jam and coffee stout.

Pepperoni Pizza Monkey Bread Not your mamma’s monkey bread. A savory version of the dish with pepperoni and gooey mozzarella.

Bacon-Wrapped Beef Satay What started as a Star Trek themed dish is the perfect twist on your steak-on-the-grill for Memorial Day! Make them ahead of time, pop them in the fridge and then they are ready for the grill whenever you need ’em.

Applewood Smoked Bacon Peanut Brittle Why would you make peanut brittle PLAIN when you could add bacon to it? Why?

Orange Creamsicle Fudge Nothing kicks off summer like the taste of an Orange Creamsicle. Too bad they melt all over the place. Try out this easy-to-eat/easy-to-make fudge instead!

Pina Colada Fudge Speaking of fudge. This takes fudge to a whole new level. And it’s freaking ridic. (And it’s a microwave recipe. Seriously.)

Frozen Chocolate-Dipped Bananas A classic! Make ahead, keep in your freezer and then cool off after a hot day of grilling and getting drunk.



Fontina has an Ohio heart and Philly spunk. She loves giving you recipes for hearty food, pop-culture puns and a hell of a lot of craft beer. You can find her in the kitchen, at the bar, on Twitter or marathoning episodes of Shin Chan or Bob's Burgers online.
