Well, it's here, the last weekend of the Summer. Fall is in the air, even in Miami!For us here in Florida it is really a non event, but I remember how much I used to hate it when I lived in New England. Even though the beautiful Fall season is just around the corner, Labor Day and September always mean the end of grilling, weekends at the beach, dinner on the patio, gardening and all the outdoor things we like to do. And if you are a kid, yucks, back to school time. Here in Florida, it is a time for hurricanes, boarding up and stocking up. Hopefully, it will be a quiet season just like the last two. No, Labor Day is definitely not worth the extra day off.
For this holiday, the main dish is Baby Back Ribs. For the sides I suggest a couple of salads already posted, and for dessert, well it's got to be peaches, so take your pick!
Don't despair, Fall is around the corner and apple season is about to begin. You can have a drink on that!
Here are some of the recipes I suggest you consider for this holiday:

ReplyDeleteAfter all this 90+ degree weather, it's not such a non-event. I'm looking forward to a turn in the weather...and actually sitting outdoors during the day to enjoy a BBQ like you suggested.
