For us, it all starts with Memorial Day weekend. Loads of picnics, BBQs, and potlucks spread throughout the summer. I absolutely love it but do find that I turn to the same recipes over and over again and then wonder if the people eating it are bored. Well, that isn’t going to happen this year! Instead, I am going to use this list of amazing potluck and bbq recipes and wow the hosts and guests of any event I am invited to this summer. Seriously…this list has everything from side salads to chocolate cupckes. The one thing they share in common: they are all ridiculously good!

After seeing all of the amazing recipes on this list, I want to host a potluck immediately. Of course, I’d pass along this collection to all my friends in the invite to give them some hints.
