Whenever I start to see Labor Day recipes popping up on my Pinterest feed, it reminds me of the summer our grill broke.

This was back in the day when our stove didn’t have a grill top, and we were in the middle of our debt-free journey when grill pans were too expensive.

To this day we still don’t know exactly what happened to it.   Probably had to do with not keeping it covered that winter.

But, we didn’t let no-grill weekends keep us down!  Turns out there are tons of amazing summer recipes for Labor Day to be made, without the almighty grill-marks.  I’m excited to share some awesome ones with you today!

» All of these recipes can be made in bulk, perfect for a party!

» All except one (the delicious pasta salad) are finger-food-approved.  That makes them great for a picnic too!

» There’s a little something for everyone – instant pot, pan, pot, oven or crock pot!

» Feel free to make these earlier in the day! I like to keep cookout food warm with buffet candles.

» If food needs to stay cold, I love to double up my serving platters and put ice in between the bottom and top platters.  That makes it much easier to replace the ice, and the food doesn’t get wet.
