Cheesy Black Bean Dip & More Memorial Day Recipes (1)Hi everyone and Happy Hump Day. We only have 2 more days left of school and my kids will be out for summer. Boy has the year flew by. As everyone knows this Monday is Memorial Day, so I am sure everyone will be hanging out by the grill cooking up something delicious.

Today I wanted to share an Easy Cheesy Black Bean Dip that I think will be perfect for the upcoming holiday. Really this dip would pretty much go great with any holiday celebration or get together.


Cheesy Black Bean Dip & More Memorial Day Recipes (2)This black bean dip is so yummy and a cinch to make. Black beans, mexi corn, chunky salsa and Velveeta all melted together make up this cheesy dip. I love black beans and the mexi corn gives this dip such a great flavor. I have come to realize you either love Velveeta or you hate it. As for me I love it!

Velveeta has always been a staple in our house. I use it in my pimento cheese spread, chicken spaghetti, famous Queso dip and almost any of the cheesy dips I have listed here on my blog.

If you're a Velveeta lover and looking for a quick cheesy dip you should try this recipe. I also wanted to share some recipes below that I think will go great for a picnic or BBQ. Maybe you are still in need of a few recipes to finish off your Memorial Day menu.

Cheesy Black Bean Dip & More Memorial Day Recipes (3)Before I get to the recipes I wanted to say that first and foremost Memorial Day for me is about remembering those who have sacrificed their lives, past and present for our freedom. I think a lot of people have forgotten the true meaning of "Memorial Day". It's more than a day off from work or school and more than a picnic with friends. You see the military has been a part of my life since the day I was born.

My father who has passed away is retired Air Force. My step dad and oldest brother are now both retired from the Air Force and my brother who is just a couple years older than me is in the Coast Guard. I grew up Military so I have learned to be thankful for the sacrifices that the military has made for their families as well as for their country.While you are enjoying time with your family and friends this holiday weekend please take a moment and remember the ones who are no longer with us.

Like I mentioned above I wanted to share some recipes for the upcoming weekend. Maybe you're hosting a family Memorial Day party or you have been invited to a neighborhood celebration. It doesn't matter I have a few recipes that I think will work out perfectly.

Cheesy Black Bean Dip & More Memorial Day Recipes (4)I have thumbed through most of my recipes here at Mommy's Kitchen and found some pretty tasty recipes. I have included recipes for the grill, finger foods, sides, dips, salads and lets not forget dessert. A few of the desserts like the brownies are perfect for pack and go traveling. Which is great if you're in charge of bringing something. Hopefully you will find something to your liking.
