Gluten-Free Labor Day Menu will knock your socks off. Let’s end summer with a bang. My recipe ideas are perfect for a small family of 4. Of course, if your family is larger my recipes could be doubled or tripled. Perfect for BBQs or picnics. Celebrating the end of summer with family and friends or just your immediate family. This three-day weekend is going to be a blast.
Gluten-Free Labor Day Menu
Believe it or not my husband and I got married during Labor Day Week. We did it so more friends and family could attend our wedding. I am more appreciative this year than in years past due to this wonky 2020 year. Needless to say, I am beyond grateful for old and new friends, and my family.
Time to celebrate the end of summer.
Gluten-Free Labor Day Menu
Breakfast or Brunch Ideas:
Dutch Pancakes are a family favorite. These vintage puffy pancakes are a dream. Topped with powdered monkfruit and freshly squeezed lemon just like the five-and-dime dinner when you were a kid. Or maybe it was the blue plate special of the day. Consequently, if you are going to have a buffet then I highly suggest having a quiche, Blintz Casserole with a fruit platter, and maybe my Ground Turkey Maple Breakfast sausages.
Lunch Menu Ideas:
Normally at my house, we don’t often eat lunch. We tend to have a large breakfast later in the day. Of course, we often have brunch. Which for me means a small buffet of items to choose from. However, I do have suggestions for lunch. Time to bbq some hamburgers. My favorite hamburgers are all Buffalo or otherwise known as Bison. Indeed, if you have never had Buffalo I highly suggest trying it. Furthermore, feel free to read Buffalo Nutrition Benefits | Recipes blog post. Look for Horseradish Onion Buffalo Burgers or Buffalo Pepperoncini Burgers on my blog. Grilled Baby Back Ribs are always a big summertime treat.
Side Dishes:
Needless to say, no BBQ or campout is complete without a coleslaw or salad. Salads are without a doubt easy to make or even purchase. However, if you are anything like me you are always on the lookout for a new and tasty salad dressing. Hence I have added my favorite dressing. Furthermore, these dishes are easy to bring to a potluck or BBQ party. Boston Baked Beans are always a great treat. Or perhaps you are looking for a side dish with a little heat like Tex-Mex Brussel Sprout Slaw. However, if you’re from the South of the United States then Southern Pimento Cheese Dip will be there.
Appetizers For Labor Day:
Labor Day is for family and friends. What get-together is complete without deviled eggs? In fact, my eggs are dill flavored. Of course, salads are always a great option if you are feeding a crowd. Try making a homemade dressing to amp up the flavor. With flavors like Blue Cheese, Green Goodess, or make a Spinach Strawberry Salad, Because labor day often falls on my Anniversary I do splurge a little more than at other times. Consequently, my lobster dip is a luscious blend of seafood and a creamy sauce. Needless to say, it is the perfect Anniversary appetizer.
Dinner Menu Ideas:
In all honesty, any of the burger recipes could also be used for dinner. BBQ Ribs smoked and grilled low and slow are a great choice for any time. Tin-foil packet dinners are great to cook in the oven, on the grill, or on a campfire. Best Prime Rib or Keto Garlic Prime Rib, or Elk Steaks are also a great idea.
Dessert Menu Ideas:
Last but not least is the sweetest part of the meal. So many choices to make when picking a sweet treat. Cookies are good for a larger group of people. Best Huckleberry Cookies or Chewy Chocolate Cookies. Of course, Strawberries have to be on the list and what is better than a strawberry cake? Fresh Strawberry Pie is also a people pleaser.
Check out my blog for other recipes such as homemade crackers, and dips. In conclusion, I hope that these gluten-free and refined sugar-free recipes help you plan a great Labor Day!
