Mix in the fun at your end-of-summer cookout






Although summer isn’t officially over until 10:49 a.m. Sept. 22, the arrival of Labor Day weekend seems to signal the informal end of this sultry season. Perhaps it’s because kids return to school, the much-lauded State Fair closes and the leaves of trees begin to turn kaleidoscopic colors and fall off their branches.

Camp-outs, baseball games, rodeos, a dip in the lake, bringing in docks, storing away boats and closing up cabins are on the agenda for many this upcoming holiday weekend. And, lots of families, friends and neighbors are looking forward to gathering for one last ‘end-of-summer’ picnic or cookout.

If you’re starting to think about what to serve with the hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks or other foods you plan to grill or barbecue, continue to check back in with FFF the next few days. The upcoming recipes for Ladybug Appetizers, Farmers’ Market Corn Salad, Old Settlers’ Baked Beans and Over-the-Top Rice Krispie Bars are oodles of fun, really easy and sure to be a hit as we turn the unofficial corner into the cooler days of fall.
