Because there’s no cure for a long Monday like enjoying a no-cook dinner in the yard with a glass of wine.

This summer classic never gets old. And thanks to the Crock-Pot, you won’t need to turn on the oven. Go the extra mile by making light and tangy coleslaw from scratch.

The heirloom tomatoes you snatched at the farmers market found a home atop store-bought pastry dough and a bed of ricotta.

Bright and zesty with just the right amount of heat, this meal is the dish you’ll be talking about for weeks afterward. Feel free to shuck your own corn cobs if you can get your hands on them.

Yes, this dish has bacon, red onion, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese—but it’s nowhere near as heavy as you think.

If grilling steak on the barbecue intimidates you, meet these easy skewers. They take less than an hour to prepare and are pretty much foolproof.

Kick off the holiday weekend by taking a half-hour flight to Paris via skillet mussels swimming in garlic-white wine sauce.
