MEMORIAL DAY DREW BURGERS

DINNER AT HOME

Simple Memorial Day dinner at home after a long day of work.  Love my Drew Burgers with low carb buns.  Homemade Cole Slaw and Buttered Corn made the perfect accompaniment.

Blessed to enjoy some great food with my gals on Memorial Day.  Just the three of us together means so much to me.  Could not ask for anything more except being able to eat half a

DINNER AT HOME

Celebrated Memorial Day with good old Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.  Kept it simple and it was oh so good.  Absolutely love my Drew Burgers which are my favorite Burger next to In N' Out.  Made homemade French Fries in the Air Fryer and they came out crispy and delicious.  Earlier in the day we enjoyed Nathan's Hot Dogs which are also my fave.  Good thing I walked about 15 miles this weekend.

DINNER AT HOME

Blessed to spend Memorial Day at home with my girls so I cooked them up a delicious BBQ and made everything myself.  Started with Ahi and Tako Poke which I picked up at Foodland Farms.  Made the Cole Slaw, Potato Mac and Cucumber/Tomato Salads, Roasted the Corn, Cooked the Ribs and made the Burgers.  Got to tell you that my Drew Burgers were the bomb.  Juicy and delicious.

Thankful and grateful to all Americans who have served and sacrificed for our great Nation.

DINNER AT HOME

 Blessed to spend a quiet day at home with family celebrating Memorial Day.  We went pretty simple this year as there was just the family of three.  Started with some fresh Ahi Poke and followed that up with homemade Cole Slaw, BBQ Chicken, Kahuku Corn and a good old American Hamburger that I tried to make like an In n' Out Burger.  Even made a Thousand Island Dressing and Ketchup dressing for the burger that came out great.  This meal was so yummy.

Enjoyed an incredible spread of food on Memorial Day while entertaining an out of town guest.

Great food, friendship and wine.  These are some of our favorite foods with the Ribs, Steak and Crab being some of things I love most.  Always pull out my favorite Fish Plate for the Poke.   The plate was made for me by a good friend and its nice to remember him overtime we use it.  So blessed to enjoy this great day with family and friends.  My prayers are with all of those who have served and given their lives for this great country.

DINNER AT HOME

Woke up early on Memorial Day and pressure washed the patio in the back yard while I got my Smoker heated up to 225 degrees.   Threw in a 5lb Beef Brisket and proceeded to overcook it in the next 7 hours of smoking.  No big deal.  Live and learn - plus I am in living in Hawaii and safe thanks to the men and woman who have served in our military.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of those great Americans who have sacrificed their lives to protect and serve our Country.  Enjoyed the day and BBQ with family members.  Nice to be at home for a full day without working or running in and out.  Cooked up a little bit of everything on this Memorial Day.  Chicken Breasts and Thighs, Sausage, Shrimp, Rib Eye Steak, BBQ Ribs and of course my overcooked Beef Brisket that I smothered in BBQ Sauce and served up as Sliders complete with a pickle.  Actually tasted really good.  Bought some frozen Calamari and made a light and fresh salad with local Hamakua Tomatoes, Japanese Cucumber, Yellow Bell Pepper, Red Onion, Mint, Cilantro and tossed it all in Balsamic with Olive Oil and a bit of lemon juice.  The wife did up some stuffed Artichoke with Gorgonzola Cheese.  I didn't try it, but everyone loved it and they were gone in minutes.  She also makes some really good Cole Slaw that has the flavor profile somewhat like Kentucky Fried Chicken Cole Slaw but not as sweet.  Her Green Chili Corn Bread Muffins are becoming a staple at family events and I love them.  This was a great spread with plenty of leftovers to send home with family.

GREAT SPREAD FOR FAMILY IN CELEBRATION AND REMEMBRANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY
