Elevate Your Memorial Day with Perfect Potluck
Elevate Your Memorial Day with Perfect Potluck
The month of May is often filled with many celebratory events, including graduations, end-of-the-year programs, and the beginning of summer vacations. The month concludes with the observance of Memorial Day, a time set apart to gather with loved ones to remember and give thanks for the sacrifice of our military service members. Many of you have known and loved men and women who have given up their lives to serve our country. We want to take a moment to recognize you and to thank you, with the hope that you feel seen.
During Memorial Day gatherings, potlucks are often utilized, offering a chance to share your family's favorite casseroles or desserts. This past fall, I asked our readers in a newsletter to share their favorite casseroles or desserts. For your Memorial Day gathering, consider taking one of the delicious options listed below!
