As it happens, I’ve got some ideas for you :-):

What to cook Memorial Day weekend

By on May 21, 2014 in How-To’s, Online Life
Memorial Day means grilling in my house, which is why I recommend making Lemon Chicken Skewers with a Cool Avacado Sauce for dipping. After all, kabobs are always fun, right?
