Who’s ready for one last summer-ish adventure?
For us, Labor Day weekend is the grand finale for all things summer. We summered hard this year and we can’t think of a better way to wrap up these past few months then by going for a hike in the mountains, riding our bikes to the park, having a picnic, and soaking up the warm sunshine on a patio with a cocktail in hand.
Besides enjoying all the outdoor activities, we plan on whipping up some tasty spreads too. Right now summer produce is going bonkers and honestly, we might have to add tomatoes from our garden to every recipe! Well, if you are still trying to decide what kind of spread to enjoy over the holiday weekend , we've rounded-up over 38 Simple Labor Day Recipes that are sure to be a hit!
Start with our personal favorite – Appetizers! Make a pit stop and take a dip into these Beef Pita Nachos. Hop on over to the savory grilled mains and don’t forget to wash it down with a festive cocktail. BUT! Whatever you do make sure to save a favorite for last…dessert!
Anyway, take a look around and get ready to make the ultimate Labor Day weekend spread. Let’s get cooking!
