The guide to your yummiest Labor Day cookout yet

 

The long weekend is upon us and we cannot *wait* to celebrate. Say so long to summer with this roundup of tasty treatsyou'll be the cookout queen!

Kick off your bash with some awesome apps featuring one of our fave summer fruits: watermelon. Add a tangy twist by tossing it with feta cheese in a salad or keep it simple on a stick.

Fire up the grill! It's time for the cookout essentials, burgers and dogs. We're loving this build-your-own burger bar (set out toppings like ketchup, mustard, pickles, etc.) so your guests can pick and choose. If you're feeling extra creative, try your hand at these patriotric hot dogs.
