Alas, winter has gone and the summer weather is coming in hot (literally)! Memorial Day is coming up for our American friends and it marks the unofficial start of summer. What better way to commemorate the ones that have served the country (thank you!) and celebrate the sunny days than to throw a party with good food, refreshing drinks, and good company on Memorial Day. So, let’s bust out those grills, bumpin’ tunes, and all things summer to get things started! Whether or not you’re vegan, these delicious recipes are sure to impress and please everyone in the crowd (you might even be able to fool the meat-eaters!).
