We Planned It. You Throw It. A Step by Step Guide To Memorial Day

Memorial Day marks the beginning of the summer, which is always exciting. For many of us, it is a time to invite friends/family over, clean the barbecue, marinate our favorite meats and decide on which side salads to put out. In other words, it’s the first summer party we get to throw, and we all want it to be a killer one. We know this all too well. With that said, we’re here to help take the guesswork out of planning your party with simple DIY recipes that will sure to impress your guests! So relax, grab some tea, and read on. Your Piping Rock party planners are here…

First things first, food. The most important aspect of your party is what you’ll be serving, you know, outside of your alcohol selection. With it being barbecue season, it’s only natural to make the most of your retired grill and cook some delicious, mouthwatering meat with a side of seasoned potatoes, right?!
