I made a BBQ on the May Long Weekend which was our first long weekend of the pandemic. I chose corn and kebabs, and individualized vegetable dishes to help with social distancing. Covid should keep you from enjoying the long weekend. We just need to change our group size and cook dishes that are easier for making individual portions.
The smore recipe that I’ve included can be cooked in the BBQ or inside the oven. In typical long weekend fashion, we had to contend with high winds and rain towards dinner time. I hope you enjoy this long weekend BBQ menu!
