Savoring Summer over Labor Day Weekend

It's a change in the seasons. Labor Day weekend is upon us. Families are packing up the car for one last road trip, final camp out or mini-vacation before comfortably settling into school and work routines. Are you planning to go out with a bang and savor all that there is left of summer? Or are you already thinking of cool harvest nights and (gasp!) thumbing through holiday cookbooks!?
I say fire up the grill and roast those weenies with gusto! Hit the trail with a summery picnic and relish every last bit of summer that you can, because before you know it, you'll be pulling out the sweaters from the winter clothes box and wishing for sweet summer sun. Of course for all you die-hard grillers who choose to grill in the snow, wind and rain, the changing of the weather doesn't mean then end of grilling, it only means one thing- it must be tailgate season! Here are some recipes to take with you camping, to make for lounging in the hammock or for the back yard barbecue.
Off to the campground!
