Easy Memorial Day Recipes to Make at Home (LA-Inspired Ideas)

Memorial Day weekend in the U.S. usually marks the unofficial start of summer. In Los Angeles, that often means spending more time outside, hosting friends, or keeping things simple with food that’s easy to share.

The best Memorial Day meals are usually low-effort, casual, and built around grilling, outdoor tables, and colder drinks. Here are a few recipes and ideas that feel especially fitting for a long weekend at home.

Surf and Turf Skewers recipe with grilled steak and lobster, ingredients, and directions.

Spanish potato chip frittata recipe with an overhead food photo, ingredients, and baking directions.

Bacon and egg potato salad recipe card with a bowl of salad above its ingredients and directions.

Jalapeño pepper jack turkey burger recipe with a cheeseburger topped with lettuce and tomato.

Sparkling Summer Lemonade recipe card with a berry- and mint-garnished drink and ingredient list.

Memorial Day weekend doesn’t need an elaborate menu to feel good.

A few simple recipes, colder drinks, and time outside are usually enough — especially as Los Angeles starts shifting into summer mode.
