Keep plenty of crushed ice and drinks handy.
Have some family outdoor games like horseshoes, badminton, or croquet that people can enjoy.
Labor Day menu suggestions are: Faux BBQ Beef recipes, Faux Slaw, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Lay's Potato Chips, Dill Pickles, hot rolls or hamburger buns, and iced tea or soft drinks. Serve slices of apple pie with vanilla ice cream, or sliced poundcake with red and blue berries and whipped topping for dessert. Just about all large supermarkets sell these items ready-made, so why bother cooking if you can buy them? Labor Day should be a day to rest and relax and just have fun with your family and friends. If you do prefer to make your own, these recipes can be found on my free recipes index.
