The end of August is rolling around. Even though schools have started and I’ve been thinking a lot about pumpkins, there is still that one big celebration that closes us out of summer and sends us into the next season.
For all of those Labor Day cookouts and picnics coming up, I decided to go through some of the recipes here on Fake Food Free and pull out a few that are perfect to take or make for your next cookout. Some are from way back when and others debuted just this summer.
Whether you need a side, main or dessert, my hope is you’ll find something here to add a flavorful twist at the table. Clicking on the image in the slideshow below will take you to the recipe.
