planning a Memorial Day Weekend party with Hudsonest

Memorial Day Weekend Lunch Celebration

May 27, 2021 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and we are making all the plans for a Memorial Day Weekend Lunch celebration.

Can you believe we are already celebrating Memorial Day? This year is truly going by so fast. With all the chaos that has been going on over here, from moving to a new home to the end of school, we are keeping things simple this year. How are we celebrating? We are celebrating with a Memorial Day Weekend lunch by the pool.

Memorial Day Weekend Lunch Pool Celebration

Include all things refreshing and light.

Since we are having our little celebration during lunch, it is a must to keep the menu light and refreshing. I can’t do a lot of heavy foods when the temperatures are scolding like they are here right now in Louisiana. How do you keep it light and refreshing? Fruits have got to be included! We opted with strawberries and blueberries because of the color scheme, but you can add whatever fruits you want.

You also don’t want to have anything too sweet. These kids plan to get a lot of energy out in the pool! Sugar cookies and even cute patriotic skewers with fruit and marshmallows are a perfect option. We also love to include sherbets and popsicles. There is also something about a key lime pie that makes for a refreshing and tart dessert.

BBQ chicken is up.

When you are outdoors, you have got to make time for a little BBQ! An easy option for a Memorial Day Weekend lunch is BBQ chicken tenders. They are easy for the kids to pick up and eat and are normally a win for all. We usually will do a few hamburgers and hot dogs too. Nothing wrong with a little bit of a mix.

Paper goods that are up for the task.

Lastly, is setting up the table. First off, we are doing all of this outdoors. There will not be many glass options for this reason. Well because of that and the fact that majority of the guests are little ones. You can still have things looking nice when glass isn’t the main serve ware. What about the paper products? Glad you asked.

Memorial Day Cookies

I am obsessing over these Hudsonest’s paper napkins. They are perfect for any occasion, especially for our Memorial Day Weekend lunch by the pool. They triple-ply paper napkins come in three different sizes. The designs are limited editions, with new designs coming out four times a year. So the range stays small and there’s always something new to look forward to. Luxurious color and design add pleasure whether reconnecting with friends and family, or just making the everyday a little nicer.

As you can see, they will hold for those little wet hands after a splash in the pool.

No time for monkey business as we enter in Christm No time for monkey business as we enter in Christmas crunch time…except for some yummy monkey bread 🙊 I have been making this for breakfast, for as long as I can remember! I make a point to have it made for all the holidays. It’s that much of a favorite!

5 Buttermilk Biscuit Cans , 5 biscuits (25 biscuits total)
1/2 cup granulated sugar 
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 stick of unsalted butter
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Preheat the oven to 375. Prep a Bundt pan by spraying it with nonstick spray. Cut up biscuits in quarters and toss into a large bowl. In another bowl, mix up the sugars  and cinnamon. Carefully dump the cinnamon and sugars mixture over the cut up biscuits and toss the biscuit quarters so that they are all coated. Next, evenly distribute the coated biscuits into the Bundt pan. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, then add vanilla extract to it and mix. Carefully pour the butter over the biscuits. Cook for 40 minute, until top is browned.  Remove from oven and flip over onto a plate.

I mean, Christmas has to include cookies.. I have I mean, Christmas has to include cookies.. I have already said this way too many times 😂 Sharing one of my favorite cookie recipes- Stuffed Chocolate Chip Christmas Cookies. The chocolate chip cookies recipe can be swapped out with my GF recipe, and then incorporate GF Christmas cookie dough for the middle of you need a GF version. 

1 pack of Christmas Cookies (or you can switch it up and do 2 packs and divide them up and cook the extras)
11/4 cups of all purpose flour
3 tbsps corn starch
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 stick of softened butter, unsalted butter cut into cubes
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 bag of chocolate chips ( or more 😉)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
Mix butter and sugars until creamy. Then add egg and vanilla extract. Mix well before slowly adding dry ingredients.
On a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, scoop 2 scoops of chocolate chip cookie dough/cookie onto pan. Then gently press 1 Christmas sugar cookie into the center of each chocolate chip cookie dough round.

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cool for 5-10 minutes.

Not only are these 2 shapewear pieces comfortable (yes comfortable), they are easy to put on, and look seamless under your clothes.

I gave these pieces a test run with a satin skirt and black pants.. and man oh man 🤌🏻 If you are looking for shapewear that is easy for layering and makes you feel confident in layering pieces, you need to check out HoneyLove!
