Here are simple, flavorful recipes for a gluten-free Memorial Day barbecue.
This year we’re keeping Memorial Day low-key. The kids will be running the Bolder Boulder race and afterward we’ll likely relax at home. We don’t have big plans for a party, just hoping to recover from the nonstop little league schedule. With games most nights and often during dinner, I’m getting flexible—and a little tired.
If a few friends drop by, I’ll use these recipes; if not, they’re perfect for an easy family meal.
- BBQ Sauce
- Coleslaw
- Un-Potato Salad (with Cauliflower)
- Avocado Spread
- Hot Dogs
- Mustard Lime Chicken
- Iced Tea Lemonade
- Brownies
- Blondies
- Chocolate Chip Cookies
Later this week I’ll share some cool, refreshing gluten-free Memorial Day desserts—perfect for warm weather and easy entertaining.
If you’re interested in improving your gluten-free baking skills this summer, I highly recommend the June gluten-free baking class at the Culinary School of the Rockies. It’s taught by Sarah Blecher, a professional pastry chef experienced in gluten-free techniques. This class focuses on more standard gluten-free ingredients and offers hands-on instruction in a beautiful space. I’ve been impressed by the school and the instructor, and I may sign up myself to learn new techniques.
Whether you’re planning a small gathering or preparing a simple family meal, these gluten-free barbecue recipes offer reliable, crowd-pleasing options. They’re designed to be easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free, and adaptable for kids and adults alike. Keep an eye out for the dessert post later in the week for light, refreshing sweets that pair well with any Memorial Day cookout.
