Street Corn Gnocchi
If you’re looking for a lazy dinner that basically makes itself, this street corn gnocchi is just what you need. Frozen corn and store-bought gnocchi are roasted together on a sheet pan and topped with cotija, cilantro, and a drizzle of lime crema for a no-nonsense meal that delivers easy breezy comfort in under 30 minutes.
Frozen Brazilian Lemonade Bars
If you’ve ever had a Brazilian lemonade, you know it’s very different from the usual lemon, sugar, and water version. It’s made with limes and is creamy, tart, and one of the most refreshing things you can drink when it’s hot outside. These bars take those same flavors and turn them into a handheld frozen dessert that’s perfect for any (and every) summer occasion.
Dr Pepper Chicken
Our Dr Pepper meatballs and Dr Pepper ham are already favorites, which led us to develop this extremely delicious soda-glazed chicken. Both the dry rub and glaze are straightforward with ingredients that most likely are already in your pantry, so you can have a quick and easy summertime dinner that still packs a flavorful punch.
No Bake Strawberries & Cream Delight
Fluffy layers of vanilla and strawberry no-bake cheesecake are stacked on top of a salty-sweet golden Oreo crumb crust and topped with fresh strawberries and more crunchy Oreos for a cool, creamy dessert that will bring the summertime vibes wherever it goes.
Chicken Shawarma Sheet Pan Dinner
This chicken shawarma sheet-pan dinner is the perfect meal for those nights when you just need something easy yet satisfying, or when you’re on the fence about cooking or ordering takeout. It checks all my weeknight dinner boxes: It's easy, only requires a few dishes, doesn’t make me regret cooking, and most importantly—packs an insane amount of flavor into one sheet pan.
’Cini ‘Tini Chicken Piccata
This 'cini 'tini chicken piccata is what happened when we combined the flavors of our peperoncini martiniwith our classic chicken piccata, and let us tell you—greatness was born. The best part? It comes together in 30 minutes in just one pan, so you can enjoy a flavor-packed weeknight meal with minimal effort (or dishes) required.
Chinese Chicken Salad
This recipe was semi-inspired by the Chinese chicken salad at The Cheesecake Factory. It's sweet, savory, refreshing, and extremely crunchy. The key ingredient in this summer salad? Uncooked ramen noodles for that irresistible crunch.
Corn Salad
During the summer months, we take every chance we can get to enjoy sweet corn at all our picnics, potlucks, and BBQs. While we love celebrating the versatile ingredient in all its forms, a fresh corn salad has to be one of our favorite ways to enjoy sweet summer corn. Not only is it completely adaptable to what you have on hand, it’s so easy to prepare—simply toss to combine, season to taste, and serve!
Shrimp Street Corn Skillet
Is there anything better than Mexican street corn? We crave it so often, we decided to transform the classic flavors into a well-rounded dinner—protein included. Adding quick-cooking shrimp makes this only a 30-minute dinner, so you’re hardly putting in any more effort!
Garlic Parmesan Summer Squash Pasta
Summer comfort food is a very real thing, and this garlic parmesan summer squash pasta is our go-to when we need some cozy vibes all season long. The noodles are coated in plenty of Parmesan and a buttery garlic sauce, and tossed with sautéed summer squash and zucchini.
