Kick-off the Summer

It's time to party. Everybody really is working for this weekend! It is the unofficial start of summer. The holiday that kicks-off the barbecue, beach and suntan season is here; and what would it be without a dinner party at our house?

As promised in my previous post I will list my menus for both Friday and Saturday's Memorial Day parties at The Martin Campsite. You'll notice that some of the items cross-over but it just makes sense. We have both families coming on two different days so nothing will be boring for them.

Friday's Martin Dinner and Campfire:
  • Hummus, yellow corn tortillas, peach salsa and extra sharp cheddar
  • Prime rib with horseradish Dijon sauce
  • Middle Eastern potato salad
  • Best Black Beans
  • Roger's famous broccoli salad
  • Cocktails by Kate
  • Raphael's selections of 2007 Cabernet Franc and 2009 Grand Cru Sauvignon Blanc
  • Strawberry shortcake
  • Campfire roasted marshmallows
  • Keurig coffees
Saturday's BBQ with Missy's Crew:
  • Denise's famous layered taco dip with tortilla chips
  • Cheese and vegetable dip
  • Turkey burger sliders
  • Angus burgers
  • Island Chicken skewers
  • Middle Eastern potato salad
  • Fiesta pasta salad
  • Bourbon baked beans
  • Roger's famous broccoli salad
  • Summer cocktails by Gregg, mixologist
  • Raphael's selections of 2007 Cabernet Franc and 2009 Grand Cru Sauvignon Blanc
  • Brooklyn Summer Ale
  • Homemade coconut lime sorbet
  • Campfire roasted marshmallows
  • Keurig coffees
I hope these menu ideas are helpful to you in your Memorial Day and summer party planning. I'll be sure to upload a photo and some feedback this weekend. If you would like any recipes for the above, please email me at islandsoffoodandwine@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Memorial Day weekend and have a fabulous kick-off to the summer!
