Fresh corn is another of those perfect summer foods–sweet and crisp. And it’s even better when slathered with coconut and spices.
Cheese Crackers
Yup. We went there. To that homemade Cheez-It place. Go ahead. Admit it. You’re awfully glad that we did.
Zucchini Slaw Two Ways
Never give zucchini away again with these equally tempting yet uniquely different slaws. You get to choose—rich and creamy or tart and sweet.
Pickled Watermelon Rind
A Southern summer tradition that makes a sweet, tangy, and cinnamon spiced pickle. Not too sugary or tart, they make a perfect snack.
Creamy Potato Salad with Fresh Herbs
A tasty potato salad that’s a Southern take on a German classic. Passed through generations of the same family until perfect.
Spaghetti with Raw Tomatoes
Summer at its simplest, not to mention its most splendid. Five minutes of effort yield a meal that rivals round-trip tickets to Italy.
Jerk Chicken
Authentic grilled jerk chicken from Helen Willinsky that’s pretty much exactly like what you’d experience in the Caribbean.
Pasta with Chickpeas and Tomatoes
A simple, rustic, and flavorful vegetarian dinner that only takes a handful of ingredients and 45 minutes. Also, it tastes really fantastic. What’s not to love?
Quinoa Tabbouleh
A plant and herb heavy version of tabbouleh, perfect for scooping up with lettuce. Hummus on the side makes it even tastier.
Zucchini Linguine
This zucchini linguine is a panoply of summer abundance with summer squash and herbs crowding out the usual pasta sauce suspects. No complaints here.
