Labor Day

As most of you are probably enjoying a nice day off work or school, you're well aware that it is Labor Day! Whether you are cranking up your favorite Pandora station at the pool, out shopping with all the special sales going on, or just lounging around your house, it is always nice to enjoy some free time. The first Monday of every September since 1882 is set aside to show appreciation for the work that people do, and it also is viewed as the end of the summer.  If you wanted to flaunt your summery pedicure one last time with your favorite flip flops or show off a cute white dress you snatched up on clearance today, by all means go for it because this may be one of your last chances until next summer. Going to a "last hurrah" type of barbecue? Here are a few simple and delicious sides the host would secretly love you to bring!
