Over FIFTY recipes perfect for Labor Day! From appetizers and burgers to entrees and desserts, this recipe-round up has something for everyone!
But, of course I am nervous, because our house is:
- Not named
- Not yet completely unpacked (<–don’t judge)
- Half of the interior design items (rugs, curtains, art work, etc.) are STILL being shipped
AND…
- I want them to love N to the C as much as we do
- Bambi poops in my yard. Can someone tell him to gain a little Aretha Franklin “Respect”… at least while the ‘rents are here!!
- It’s my parents… really? Enough said.
So I am keeping this post SUPER short. And I am doing you guys a solid today – 50 PLUS Labor Day Recipes – from appetizers to burgers, hot dogs, and desserts, all PERFECT for your holiday weekend. Right here. In ONE place. Just for YOU. Well… and for me, because I need all the help I can get this weekend!
