Labor Day Recipes Guaranteed to Make Your Cookout Fabulous

Summer is always a busy season for us at Cumberland Buildings as we fill our schedule to the brim, creating beautiful backyards for all our customers. This summer, in particular, has seemed to really fly by. Closing out summer with a big cookout bash seems to be the best way to celebrate the end of our busy season. If you’re hoping to make this year’s Labor Day party the best barbecue ever, we’ve got some ideas for a Labor Day menu to keep your guests coming back for more.

Think outside the hot dog bun

Your grill is capable of cooking more than just your standard burgers and dogs. If you want to create a dish that’ll really knock the socks off, your guests consider surprising them with foods which aren’t typical bbq fare.

Our favorite option this Labor Day is bright citrus shrimp skewers served with a lime & dill chimichurri sauce for dipping. Not only is the flavor out of this world, but it’s a cheerfully colorful addition to your table. Especially when you pair it with fresh summer squash and red cherry tomatoes.

Other ideas for unexpected additions to your grill?

Grilled fruit pizza makes a fabulous ending to your meal
Cinnamon and brown sugar grilled pineapple
Grilled chili lime corn on the cob

Switch out the standard sides

While everyone will have macaroni salad and baked beans at their Labor Day celebration, let’s give your guests something to rave about with some non-standard side dishes.

Try:

Simple lemon marinated cucumbers
Everything bagel roasted potatoes (which can be made in advance!)
THIS tomato, peach, and corn salad brings together all of summer’s best colors and flavors

Don’t forget dessert and drinks

Rounding out your meal with the perfect cocktail or dreamy dessert will ensure your bbq is remembered long after the last s’more has been roasted.

Parade magazine suggests this bubbly spin on a classic mule as your cocktail of choice.
Dessert should be the highlight of the afternoon if you choose one of these creamy, cool, parfaits!

Whatever you serve, we hope you celebrate all your hard work and accomplishments this summer and look forward to serving you this fall with all your storage building solutions.

We feel your product is one of the best sheds and barns available for purchase. The employees who design, build and do the finish work of this product take great care and pride and it shows. If I had the property sape, I would set up a dealership so they could be marketed with so many possible uses as such a cost effective product.

The delivery driver Dennis was extremely professional and capable of maneuvering the building in a space-restricted spot. Amazingly, he managed to preposition the building on the truck, and maneuver the building to its target spot. Very skilled operator, diligent in overcoming obstacles, polite, and efficient. All I can say is “Wow”. Great service, Great product.

My building was delivered yesterday and everything was as ordered and in excellent condition.

Would you please pass on to appropriate parties that the delivery company and Marvin, the driver, did a superb job. I was most favorably impressed with Marvin’s ability to precisely place the building in a very tight and difficult spot. You are well served using him for delivery of your buildings.
