Schools out and it’s time to BBQ! Definitely one of our favorite times of the year here at Fairfield Residential. Nothing gets our spirits up for summer like Memorial Day weekend. The sun is shining and good food is cooking outside. What more can you ask for?

We all know traditional Memorial Day grub will be happening such as hot dogs, burgers, grilled sausages and the likes. But what about all the other super yummy side dishes? Here’s your chance to get creative. Instead of traditional potato salad and coleslaw, why not whip up something unexpected, but still traditional?
