Living in Southern California gives me the opportunity to grill all year round. Although I didn’t grill this year through the winter months very much, I am looking forward to using my grill again. So in honor of our fallen troops this Memorial Day weekend, and the first barbecue of the summer season, here is my Memorial Day menu!
