We just can’t get enough of this peachy, simple, skewer-y, summer salad of sorts that comes together in far less than an hour. Prep, grill, toss. You’re done.

We quite like these granola bars just as-is. But don’t let that stop you from adding your fave stir-ins to make them even more irresistible.

Who knew so few ingredients could conjure such big taste? Witness this robust grilled steak with its pantry-friendly spice rub.

Not all pimento cheese recipes are created equal. This one, with a touch of barbecue, definitely has an unfair advantage.

Expect a subtle sweetness from this pork chop sensation that comes together from pantry standbys. We suspect that, like us, you’re gonna wanna add it to your weeknight rotation.

Cuddureddi. It means “a cause for celebration” if you’re from Italy. Well, actually, it means “a sort of doughnut.” Sorta the same thing.

This brashly untraditional panzanella grills the bread so you can dispense with waiting for stale bread. Still frugal. Still stunning. Still more than the sum of its parts.

Slightly sweet. Slightly sticky. Slightly spicy. Thoroughly irresistible. That’s what we think—and, more importantly, what we hear—about these easy grilled drumsticks.

Roast beets until sweet enough to be considered dirt candy. Plonk on a place with tangy goat cheese, peppery greens, and a generous drizzle of honey. Lunch is done.

A soda fountain classic made with neither egg nor cream, this classic quencher is a summer staple for kids of all ages.

This is not the insipid, gloppy, cloying sauce you’re using to getting takeout. This is, quite simply, sweet and sour and lovely.

A proper dinner any night, this chocolate sandwich with a French accent is a far cry from Wonder bread and Hershey’s. Oooooh sooooo far.

Made with gin, cucumber, simple syrup, and lime, this is simply a slight riff on a classic cocktail with a twist…or rather, a slice.

A whole hen plunked unceremoniously on a can and cooked on the grill or in the oven. A tailgating classic that’s simple and perfect—even when you’re not tailgating.

A rhubarb sour made with gin is probably not how your grandma chose to use those sweetly tart spring stalks. Her loss.

Nothing says “I love you” like sharing steak swimming in a puddle of melting herb butter. Consider it Cupid’s little helper.

Normally we have an issue with people talking fresh to us. But in the case of these agua frescas, or fresh flavored waters, we’re all ears.

Just like the classic British sandwich—but better. So much better. A seriously hot, gooey mess of a sandwich.

Acidity. Saltiness. Sharpness. Herbaciousness. This North African salad is where all these elements collide to quite lovely effect.

We can’t stop sprinkling this everyday Egyptian magic over anything and everything. (Seriously. Someone send help.)
