Memorial Day is often viewed as the unofficial start to summer. The weather in the St. Charles Community College service area looks good, and you'll likely want to get outside an BBQ!
Interim Culinary Director Merissa Larson has some fantastic ideas of some delicious side dishes you can create with ease.
“A lot of Midwest cookouts are filled with chips, potato salad, hot dogs and maybe a fresh salad,” she said. “Try livening up your get together with some colorful, fresh flavors of summer.”
Start out with a Fruit Salad & Limoncello! It serves 12 and is easy to make.
Instead of salsa or bean dip, how about Peach Bruschetta for a great appetizer?
If you are looking for something with a kick, and you want to try something other than chicken wings, try Chef Merissa's Spicy Thai-Style Pineapple Wraps.
All this food is likely going to make you thirsty. Try a Cucumber Cantaloupe Cooler!
