Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewers
Marinate chicken chunks in barbecue sauce, thread with peppers and onions, and grill until smoky and tender. These skewers are easy to serve and always a crowd-pleaser.
Classic All-American Burgers
No Labor Day weekend is complete without juicy burgers. Set up a toppings bar with cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and special sauces so everyone can build their own masterpiece.
Patriotic Fruit Salad
Keep it fresh with a red, white, and blue fruit mix—strawberries, blueberries, and chunks of watermelon tossed with a sprinkle of mint. A light, refreshing side dish that balances heavier barbecue fare.
Grilled Corn on the Cob with Herb Butter
Sweet summer corn is at its peak! Brush with garlic-herb butter (parsley, chives, and a hint of paprika) for a festive side that tastes like summer in every bite.
Peach Cobbler or Mini Hand Pies
End the night or weekend on a sweet note! Peaches are still in season, and a warm cobbler or individual peach hand pies served with vanilla ice cream will make your guests happy campers.
