Memorial Day is a week away, if you’re like me you’re wondering how did that happen?
If you’re looking for some patriotic fare, I pulled together 10 recipes from the archives to celebrate the Red, White and Blueberry and for noshing over your Memorial Day weekend and holiday!
Watermelons have been arriving in grocery stores, just in time for the holiday weekend and the unofficial start of summer.
Serve an American flag formation of Watermelon, Feta and Blueberries for this high-flying holiday.
The creamy, salty cheese is the perfect partner to the sweet, juicy melon!
Berry Skillet Cobbler
Individual cobblers are baked in mini skillets with a topping that is rustic and simple to make! Substitute ramekins if you prefer for these easy, mini desserts.
Berry Caprese Bruschetta
Slice and grill a baguette and serve with a bowl of berry caprese medley and let your guests help themselves!
Patriotic Berry Trifle
A make-ahead dessert using a store-bought angel food or pound cake to cut down on prep time. Exercise your freedom and independence and layer with berries, lemon curd, pudding, whipped cream or a combination!
Land of the Free Lemonade
A refreshing combination of pureed watermelon & lemonade with watermelon stars and blueberries. Add citrus flavored vodka for an adult beverage or serve without for a festive summertime lemonade.
Red, White, and Blue Sangria
Mix it an hour to two in advance of patriotic sipping and celebrating!
Blueberry Salsa
Fresh, flavorful, and healthy! Serve with Red, White, and Blue Tortilla Chips
Patriotic Berry Trifle in Jars
Trifle in a jar that’s portable and ideal for a picnic!
Almost Red Velvet Berry Cobbler with Cream Cheese Ice Cream
A short-cut almost cobbler along with a recipe for cream cheese ice cream you can make without a machine.
Or the real thing. . . Red Velvet-Berry Cobbler
However you celebrate Memorial Day, remember our military men and women who have died to protect and serve us.

Even at 5AM I’m in the mood for noshing (at least I’m consistent)… I’ll have the bruschetta and salsa please! And I have to agree Mary, this year is flying by… Need to slow it down and enjoy-I’m sure the long weekend will help:@)
Wow. Beautiful ! Did you make all of these?
Beautifully delicious post, Mary!
This is making me hungry for berries! I just happen to have them in my fridge. Have a great week!
Great post!

HooRay for the Red Whitee and Blueberries!!! franki
Yum, I see a recipe or more to try. Thanks for sharing! And have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Oh dear me, Mary, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, and I am salivating over all your patriotic food! What I’m craving the most is one of those mini skillet berry cobblers. Thanks for all the Memorial Day inspiration.
Memorial Day is a week early this year, as I just realized last week when I thought I had another whole week before the holiday, whoops 😳 I have been scrambling around trying to get organized and this recipe round up is going to come in very handy indeed! My family will be very appreciative if I whip up a Patriotic Berry Trifle or some Cream Cheese Ice Cream, and I know they would dig into the Blueberry Salsa, thanks Mary!

These are beautiful photos! I am going to give the watermelon, feta and blueberry flag tray a try – I have a feeling it will be a hit with the kids! Pinning to share later too. I’m loving that BBQ in a mason jar too – never would think of that – incredibly creative. Just loved scrolling through your pics overall!
