FAVAO Memorial Day Barbecue

I’m pretty sure there is a written law somewhere that reads, “To celebrate Memorial Day, one must barbecue.” Sounds about right, don’t you think? Memorial Day and barbecues go together like peanut butter and jelly. Potatoes and gravy. Jello and carrots. Okay, maybe not the last one, but you get the point. It’s almost criminal NOT to have a barbecue on this holiday.

As you are gathering up your grilling goodies and making assignments for the holiday weekend, make sure you include these fun and quick FAVAO KABOBS. They are easy to prepare, delicious to eat and sure to please everyone.
