You doing anything special for Labor Day Weekend? We have no plans and I want to keep it that way. It’s Labor day after all! No laboring. Gosh…can you imagine if you went into labor on Labor Day? That would be quite interesting. I bet that’s happened to someone reading this right now. Speak up! Let’s hear about it. If you have a BBQ to attend or hey maybe you’re hosting one, I’ve dipped into my archives to help make your meal planning a bit easier. If you’re about to labor a baby, GOOD LUCK! I hope someone doesn’t make too many labor day jokes while you’re laboring. That would be awkward.
Here are some of my favorite Labor Day Food Ideas!
FRENCH QUARTER COCKTAILS
I’m gonna start with a cocktail because WHY THE HECK NOT. You work hard. You deserve a drink.
Creating an Antipasti Platter
If you need some antipasti inspiration cuz you have people coming over, check out how I create an antipasti platter.
Cold Sesame Noodles
Maybe you’re bringing something to a party? Cold Sesame Noodles will do the trick.
Grilled Shrimp + Pineapple Skewers
Things on sticks! Really good things!
Sambal Chicken Skewers
I feel like I put these skewers on every roundup. It’s probably because they are SO GOOD.
Orange Soy Glazed Ribs
Rib game = strong
Grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza
Fire up the grill and MAKE PIZZA!
Corn Tomato Shishito Pepper Pizza
As long as you’re grilling pizza, throw this one on for your vegetarian friends.
Raspberry Cornmeal Cobbler
Mmmmm. Dessert. Get raspberries in there while you can.
Brown Sugar Meringues with Strawberries & Cream
I love how chewy these meringues are! Even better topped with strawberries & cream.
Moscow Mule Popsicles
Our days of having popsicles while it’s warm out are numbered. These ones are boozy.
Cherry Pie Crumble Bars
One of my regrets this summer was not eating that many cherries. Time to remedy that.
Shortbread Strawberry Crumble
One of the simplest desserts! No laboring whatsoever.
Lemon Icebox Cupcakes
These “cupcakes” are for those who love stacking things. Get some kids involved!
