Sunday BBQ: Peppered Pineapple-Beef Kebabs
If you haven't already done so yet, this long weekend is the ideal time to break out your barbecue. That's why I'm reinstating Sunday BBQ, a weekly series featuring my favored foolproof grilled dinners. I'm starting with beef and pineapple kebabs, because what would Memorial Day be without some grilled beef?

Come Party With Me: Memorial Day — The Look
The clear Summer sky inspires a Memorial Day look that is bright and crisp. Start by covering an outdoor table with a plaid tablecloth. Serve the steak and potatoes on one big platter family style.
Name That Dish!
Memorial Day would be the perfect occasion to serve this tart, creamy, all-American pie. Can you guess what it is?
Come Party With Me: Memorial Day — Drinks
No Memorial Day celebration should be without strawberries. The plump juicy berries are at the peak of their season now, so take advantage of them! You could incorporate them into an appetizer, salad, or dessert, but why not use this luscious fruit to mix up a tantalizing cocktail?
'Wich of the Week: Grilled Gourmet Sausage on Olive Bread
With this grilling-centric holiday upon us, I'm looking beyond burgers and dogs and drooling over gourmet sausages. I love the traditional toppings of grilled onions and red peppers, but rather than use a bun, I like to split the sausage in half and toss the goods onto some fancy-schmancy artisan bread for a surprising sammie that tastes like Summer. I'm lucky enough to live near Rosamunde Sausage Grill, which sells a delicious chicken-cherry sausage, but I recommend any salty-sweet combination, such as chicken-apple sausage, for this recipe.
Come Party With Me: Memorial Day — Dessert
Picture this: your guests are wildly content after the most delicious meat and potato barbecue dinner. Just when they thought the night couldn't get any better, you, the beautiful hostess with the mostess, appear with a plate full of ice cream sandwiches! Not just any ice cream sandwich, but one that marries the classic crowd-pleasing chocolate chip cookie with creamy vanilla ice cream.
Chili Dogs Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
Corn dogs may not hit the spot for everyone, but how can one resist a warm, smoky chili dog, especially around Memorial Day? Gather up a group of your favorite friends and dress up some dogs. Throw together a 15-minute chili topping, or take the time to make your own chili and homemade coleslaw.
Name That Dish!
Although the dish pictured here is not on my Memorial Day barbecue menu, it would be a welcome addition. Do you know what it's called?
Come Party With Me: Memorial Day — Menu
Memorial Day is the unofficial start of Summer, so to celebrate, round up a group of friends and host a casual but cozy barbecue.
Begin the fun with fingerlicking good grilled clams and garlic butter. Next move on to an easy dinner menu of the American favorite — steak and potatoes — made sophisticated by the smoky flavor of the grill.
