Memorial Day is more than just a three-day holiday weekend. Each year on this day, we take time to remember all of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country.

It is not, however, a day only for looking back. Memorial Day kicks off the summer season across America. To celebrate, we are featuring a fresh take on three traditional barbecue favorites: baby back ribs, baked beans and potato salad.

All of us at Kalamazoo wish you and your families a happy and safe holiday weekend, and a joyous summer season to come.

Cheers,

Chile and Morel Dusted Baby Back Ribs

Dried chiles and morels make for an earthy and complex barbecue rub on these baby back ribs. Smoked for five hours at 225°F, these ribs are tender, juicy and flavorful. You won’t even need sauce for this recipe!

Lager Baked Beans

We enjoy experimenting with variations on the most humble of barbecue sides, baked beans. This latest culinary adventure derived its flavor from a craft brewed American lager and a hearty dose of fresh poblano peppers.

Loaded Baked Potato Salad

We’ve made baking potatoes on the grill easier on you because this salad can be prepared ahead of time. Generous amounts of bacon, cheese, green onions and sour cream are used to create that awesome loaded baked potato flavor.
