Do you have special plans for Labor Day weekend?
I do a lot of back and forthing, from the coast to the city, and I like to have a general food plan to keep things running smoothly
This week I’m gathering favorite Labor Day dishes, that will be simple to make, you know, Laborless recipes 😊
Blue Raspberry Bread with Orange Glaze, can be made ahead of time and frozen
Stone Fruit and Berry Salad will be great for lunch or a side with dinner
Chocolate Cashew Pecan Cookie Bars are always requested, a version of 7 layer bars, using crescent rolls as the crust
My family insists on a homemade snack mix, so I’ll be making a big batch of sweet and salty Harvest Snack Attack
We will need a dip, like this hardy Enchilada Dip, for the first Alabama game of the season
Roll Tide Roll! 🏈
I think I’ll keep breakfast simple and serve Breakfast on a Stick
Island Time Chicken Wings cook in the Slow Cooker so we can play all day
We’ll keep sides simple with roasted vegetables like Broccoli Candy
and Honey Roasted Carrots with Green Beans and Sesame Seeds
You can’t go wrong with Magic Mac & Cheese 1-2-3, all you do is put cooked pasta in a dish and add cheese and milk and it bakes up like magic, no Labor at all!
We will want to celebrate the end of summer with Grilled Hawaiian Chicken in a Pineapple with Summer Saffron Rice Bake
Boneless chicken thighs skewered with fresh sweet pineapple slices will take you straight to a tropical island 🍍
Summer Saffron Rice Bake is full of summer corn and zucchini, yellow rice, a creamy sauce and cheese
It freezes like a dream too, so make it ahead of time, bake it and stash it in your freezer~
I think after the hottest summer on record this year, we will all be celebrating the end of summer~
Just try to keep it Laborless!
