Memorial Day Party!

I think before we get into the fun, we should all remember what Memorial Day is.... beyond a day off of work and stuffing our faces with fantastic BBQ!....

Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I. (wikipedia.org)

 You all must know by now my strong obsession with kabobs! I love how they put some fun touches on the ends! Just use a round hole punch and glue two circles together on the end! Source


Pop Rock cookies! How silly would these be (you know, the candy that "pops/crackles" in your mouth when you eat it?  Cookie edges are covered in pop rock and sprinkles... yum!  Source and tutorial

 I've seen a lot of dipped strawberries, but the ones done as a loose interpretation of a flag are my favs! (thanks Brittanie for the find!) Source




And lastly, pay tribute to those who have and do serve with these cookies! yum! Source and tutorial
