Memorial Day Archives - My Suburban Kitchen

Food for July 4th parties can be so fun to make! Get the kids involved and make these Red, White and Blue Firecrackers using only marshmallows and candy! These Red, White and Blue chocolate dipped marshmallow pops are so festive and fun to make, everyone will have a blast!

I love entertaining! Holidays for me mean a time to get family and friends together and share a meal. Of course, for most holidays, I like to coordinate the food with the occasion. When thinking about food for July 4th, I wanted something fun that the kids could also help with.

This Memorial Day, please take the time to remember those who have served and paid the ultimate price for our freedoms.

I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. — Benjamin Harrison

We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them. — Francis Amasa Walker

Thank you to all who have or continue to serve our country. Happy Memorial Day!
