Give me a slice of pizza with a hazy IPA on a Friday night, and I am one happy lady. Wine, I like but can never finish a bottle in a weekend. And I have zero mixology skills — I don’t even own a cocktail shaker! It’s not that I don’t enjoy a good margarita or espresso martini, I generally just save those fancy drinks for the pros. But summer is different.

The “Corona Sunrise” Is the 4-Ingredient Cocktail Hack I Make All Summer (It’s So Refreshing!)

Costco’s food court is all the rage for good reason. Where else can you score that iconic $1.50 hot dog deal or shop in bulk with a sundae by your side?. However, we know many changes in the food court recently have left customers feeling divided (looking at you, Cold Brew Mocha Freeze, and massive double chocolate chunk cookies).

This summer my goal is to make burgers just like Allrecipes Allstar Bri Evans. She has all the tips you could possibly need, including one secret ingredient she learned about from a friend at church. “I mentioned to a friend that I had a pound of beef thawed at home, but was considering buying more so I could make meatloaf,” Evans says. “She suggested adding some minced carrot to stretch the meat.” After giving this trick a try for meatloaf, Evans found it works equally well in a variety of ground beef recipes. “Burgers, tacos, meatballs–the options really are endless,” she says.

When you think of Chick-fil-A, it's not likely that the first word that comes to mind is “salad.” It’s no secret that fast food salads generally get a bad rap for being sad and wilted. Typically, I don’t disagree. But, I have stumbled upon an exception....

One of the best parts of summer is hosting friends and family for grill-outs, barbecues, picnics, and bonfires. The common denominator of all these warm-weather parties? They typically revolve around (delicious) summer-specific food, from grilled meat and crispy salads to cold drinks and s’mores. But what about you, the...

One of the first things you learn when you start studying wine is that some of the most famous wines in the world are named for regions, not the grapes they are made from. You also learn that these wines are often blends rather than made from a single variety. For example, wines like Chianti, Bordeaux, and Rioja are so named for the region they come from and can be made from a mix of different grape varieties.

Family reunions seem to have been around forever, but are they still a thing? This is what we asked the Allrecipes Allstars, and the answer came back–happily–a resounding yes. From responses that ranged from cookouts galore to four-generation picnics, these gatherings center around fellowship, laughter, and of course, food. Allstar Linda C says that it’s not a family gathering without her Mom's party eggs, aka deviled eggs. Judy C says that the food at her family reunions is determined by which side of the family is hosting. "Everything is always homemade, but on my Italian side, it is the sauce, meatballs, cheese ravioli, crusty bread, and biscottis, while on my Ukrainian side, it is stuffed cabbage, pierogies, and baked ham," she says.

It may be Florida, but the guests are arriving dressed like they’re headed to Hawai‘i—in colorful shirts, flowy dresses, and linen—and Allrecipes Allstar Diana Bishop is here for it. The feast she’s finishing preparing with her fiance, Keith, as her grilling sous chef, is based on Hawai‘i-style plate lunch eating—a tradition from her childhood.

On a long road trip, we all need two kinds of essential fuel. There’s the kind that keeps the car running, and then the type that keeps *us* running. While any old gas station or fast food fare can do the trick, if you’re going to be in the car for a while, you might want to employ some strategy to keep you satiated. Bringing your own snacks reduces unnecessary stops, meaning you’ll get to your final destination that much faster. And with the costs of fast food higher than ever this summer, that’s money back in your pocket. Finally, when you’re munching on something you actually like—and maybe something nutritious—that long drive will feel less like a chore and more like a fun adventure.

Frankly, there's never a bad time for a hot dog. And that means that you should keep a few packs in stock that can be thrown on the grates or roasted around a campfire at a moment's notice. Even if you don't have a way to cook up a few franks outdoors, you can still enjoy a charred brat by using your oven's broiler or air fryer, as long as you monitor the hot dog's progress carefully.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

If you are lucky enough to have a perfect Caesar dressing recipe in your family, you are lucky enough. That’s how the saying goes, right? Allrecipes Allstar Traci Eshleman would know; she’s been making her father’s famous homemade Caesar dressing for years. Any salad adorned with his perfectly balanced dressing is tasty, but add his ingenious swap for traditional croutons and you have something sensational.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
