Memorial Day Recipes: Burgers, Potato Salad and More

Tasty dishes that will "wow" guests at your Memorial Day barbecue.

Patriotic Taco Salad would be great as an appetizer or a main dish. Serve with sour cream, guacamole and salsa on the side. The American flag design is perfect, too. TasteOfHome.com

Summer Chicken Burgers are sure to delight guests. Chicken breasts are topped with fresh avocado, caramelized Vidalia onions and provolone cheese. Feel free to marinate chicken before grilling. If you prefer, serve toppings on the side so everyone can build their own chicken burger. AllRecipes.com

Grilled Pizza is a tasty twist on traditional grill food. Prepare pizza dough and place on the grill, then top pizza with sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your choice of toppings. Store bought dough can be used. AllRecipes.com   

Great American Potato Salad is a must at any barbecue. This recipe will be a great complement to the Chicken Burgers. Feel free to use sweet relish instead of dill or Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise. Guests are sure to gobble this dish up. KraftRecipes.com

Triple Berry Cream Pie is a yummy dessert to serve at your Memorial Day celebration. Fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries complement the cream filling wonderfully. If you're short on time use a pre-made piecrust. MyRecipes.com

As a parent who spent over 12 hours on site volunteering at CHAMPSFEST, I must say that CHAMPSRead More Parent's assessment above of the circumstances is exactly correct.

Dear Hollietiger, CHAMPSFEST2013 was an awesome experience for my child. She was there all day andRead More had the best time. When I dropped her off I saw a slew of security personnel checking bags and wanding. She told me security was there immediately and a medic on hand. Her friend is fine and is going to school Monday morning. The hammer was from a vendor. The kid could have grabbed one of the stakes from a tent or a chair. Things happen, but I trust that the school and the administrators did the right thing. It's very counter productive and irresponsible to write things when you don't know the facts. I will support and trust CHAMPS and my daughter is already looking forward to next years CHAMPSFEST.

First of all, I don't know where your child got his information but he is quite uninformed. HeRead More obviously was believing all the rumors spreading at then end of the event. The victim's skull WAS NOT "cracked open and ... bleeding everywhere." CHAMPSFEST 2013 was a public event, therefore open to the PUBLIC. CHAMPS (the school) has no control of mental competency of attendants from other schools. Security was there in droves to protect the entire venue. As far as nothing being reported that is also FALSE. The kid was NOT taken away in handcuffs. Police were there and it is confidential information that was not released to the general population and is not a matter of public record. Second of all, the resources provided by the city were there as a backup (you mentioned "2 ambulances, police fire trucks... Not really sure what police fire trucks are but that's besides the point). We wanted to make sure that in this case of emergency all bases were covered and the safety of the victim was going to be treated properly. Next time you hear about an incident, I would consider the reputation of the people who worked so hard to put on the event and let them handle the situation before posting incorrect information to the entire community.
