I'd go with traditional picnic sides like baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, pasta salad., cheese cubes, watermelon cubes. Olives.

Memorial Day is a picnic food day.

Youre just changing up the meat, is all. Put out some bread and mayo and let everyone make sandwiches. Give yourself a break. Its a holiday.

Here is my favorite stuffing recipe.

Three Onion Stuffing

Ingredients:

6 cups dried white bread

4 cups day old corn bread

2 medium sweet onions, diced(1 1/2 cups)

1 large red onion, diced(1 1/4 cup)

5 large shallots diced

1 cup finely chopped celery

1 stick unsalted butter

1/4 - 1/2 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon pepper

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 cup chopped crimini mushrooms

1/2 cup chopped shitake mushrooms

2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme

1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage

1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 large eggs lightly beaten

2 - 3 cups chicken broth

1/2 half & half

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In large mixing bowl, break bread into pieces, crumble corn bread, set aside.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, all the onions and saute for 8 minutes. Add celery and garlic, saute 6 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Cook longer if onions and celery are not soft.

Remove from heat and sprinkle sage, thyme & parsley over mixture, place in bowl. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in medium saute pan, add mushrooms and saute until a light golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add to onion mixture, stir.

Add 2 cups of chicken broth and the

half & half to the bread. Stir until liquid is absorbed.

Check to see if bread is still hard, add additional chicken

broth until bread mixture is moist. Stir in onion mixture.

Pour into a buttered 13 x 9 glass baking

dish. Cover with foil, bake 40 minutes.

Remove foil bake 20 - 30 minutes until golden brown.

Our family also serves a raspberry jello salad - everyone eats this up. Kind of like having a side of cranberries but better. Here is the link:
