L
abor Day is just around the corner, and that means cookouts! We’re fans of burgers for
sure, but we thought that it might be a good idea to do something a little different and
bring out our favorites for some other favorites, like ribs, potato salad and fruit cobbler
— real staples that deserve a place at the dinner table. None of the recipes are too complicated, so even a part-time chef can put together an excellent meal to celebrate the holiday.
Take a look!
