Maybe it’s time to branch out with your Labor Day recipes. Celebrating Labor Day weekend with grilled ribeye will never go out of style, but that’s exactly the point. Since that classic crowd-pleaser will always be there, why not try something new this year?
The holiday signals the unofficial end of summer: your last hurrah at the beach, park, or neighborhood block party. Make it memorable! Live a little! We’ve got pork shoulder steaks dressed with summer corn salad, spicy grilled chicken wings that’ll knock your socks off, and ice cream cakes that are all about a little bit of assembly, a lot of accolades, and not a lot of work.
Our favorite Labor Day recipes will keep you out in the sun, whether that’s flipping something on the grill, leaning over a fence with juices dripping down your wrist, or sitting by the pool with a drink in your hand.
