Over FIFTY recipes perfect for Labor Day! From appetizers and burgers to entrees and desserts, this recipe-round up has something for everyone!
Happy Fri-YAY and Early Labor Day weekend, y’all! I am exceptionally stoked for this holiday weekend, because my Da-Mama and MOD (My.Other.Dad) are visiting us… For the first time since we moved to North Carolina! #WoopItUpTime
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…
OUR LATEST VIDEOS- 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!

Wishing you a very fun weekend with family – I’m sure they will love the place and love good ole North Cackalacky (how can you not?) particularly when they see how happy you are here! If all else fails, you’ll be able to distract them with food 😉
Cheers and happy weekend! XO
lol! I tried licking the screen too… just doesn’t taste the same, huh? My parents DO love it here- yay! Hope you are having a fabulous Labor Day weekend, girlfriend! Cheers! <3
Chey this is a killer roundup of tasty goodies.
I hope yours is a fantastic one as well. We have a party to go to ( still need to figure out a dessert to wow the crowd ) and some hiking and chillin’ ourselves. The dogs will love the mountains and I will love not working. 🙂
Thanks for the inclusion here, great company and recipes, too!
Thanks, Kevin!! Hope the party you attended was killer and you (and the dogs) did LOTS of chill-axing afterwards! My pleasure to include you, buddy! Cheers!!

About Bambi… she provides delicious fertilizer for your yard to grow, grow, grow big and strong!! Just try not to step in it! I’m anticipating a name coming soon! Daaang, Cheyanne! What a fabulous round up! I need not look any further for delicious recipes! You’ve done the homework for us! Enjoy your loooong weekend my dear and thank you for the link love! xx
lol, Traci! You are SO right! I will thank Bambi next time he pays us a visit!! AND, I DO make sure Boy picks up Bambi’s “belongings” because of our dog… I heard deer poop can be poisonous. I’d rather not find out if that’s true or not! Anyways, thanks for the kind words, and it was my pleasure to “round up” a BUNCH of goodies for the long weekend! Cheers, my dear!! <3

girl, we moved in almost 2 years ago and we’re still not fully unpacked!

Hahahah! OMG, thank you for making me feel better, Alice! I totally feel like we will STILL have packed boxes in our basement in 5 years… and I will SO be exactly like you – unwilling to throw stuff away even if it has been packed and untouched for that long! It was my pleasure to include you in this round up, girlfriend! Hope you are having a great weekend!! Cheers to you!
Your parents are totally going to love the N to the C as much as you! I figure less unpacked = less clutter to have to hide. I’m not sure what to tell you to do about Bambi. Now, about this roundup – it’s awesome and I want some of everything! Thanks so much for including me!
Rachelle – my parents LOVED it here!!!! Hip-Hip-Hooooooooray for N to the C!!!
