Even though Memorial Day weekend in the US is a time to remember the brave people who gave their lives to serve the country, it's also a time to enjoy good food with family and friends and celebrate the approaching Summer.
Memorial Day food is all about the grill, eating outdoors and enjoying American comfort food in all its glory. With this in mind, we prepared a top 10 recipes that really doubles as a Paleo Memorial Day menu. We included main dishes that are prepared on the grill for the most part as well as two delicious sides, a salad, a drink and a dessert. It should give you more than enough ideas and material to decide on your own menu selection if you are preparing food for the weekend.
