Summer Cookout Menu Ideas For A Backyard BBQ

This Monday is Memorial Day, and we’re all preparing to pause for the day to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while defending our country. Whether you’re planning on having a fun cookout or barbecue with your neighbors and family, taking the family to watch a celebratory Memorial Day parade, or volunteering at the local veterans home, there are plenty of patriotic things to do to celebrate Memorial Day and honor our troops. Here are some great summer cookout menu ideas for a backyard BBQ.


All great summer cookout menu ideas for a backyard bbq start with hot dogs and hamburgers. In my quest to make better choices for my family, I began to search for a better hot dog. An all natural, organic, Non-GMO Certified hot dogs that are free of synthetic nitrates and nitrites. My journey lead me to True Story, an amazing company dedicated to simple ingredients to assist you with the basis for summer cookout menu ideas for a backyard BBQ!

True Story’s all-natural line-up includes:
* Organic Beef Fed Hot Dogs – perfect for summer grilling
* Organic Apple & Wildflower Honey Chicken Sausage
* Organic Uncured Applewood Smoked Ham
* Organic Thick Cut Oven Roasted Chicken Breast

Find True Story products at Sprouts, Costco, and local grocery retailers.

True Story pork chops lightly seasoned with Pereg BBQ mixed spices glazed in Moore’s Marinades Asian Teriyaki wing sauce, grilled hot dogs and sausages are a few of my favorite hearty and filling entrees you can feel great about serving at any summer cookout. All you need are a few side dishes to complete the meal. Baked beans with crunchy bits of True Story Organic Uncured Hickory Smoked Bacon elevate this classic side dish with a smoky flavor your guests won’t be able to resist. Avocado salad with tomatoes and cucumbers are light and refreshing on a warm summer day. Watermelon, honey and  Pereg ground cinnamon drizzled berries, or a fresh fruit salad is an all natural sweet treat to offer for dessert.
