Even the most punctilious pantry hawks and fastidious fridge-cleaner-outers among us likely have a bottle of BBQ sauce that's been sitting around longer than they'd care to admit.

Sweet peaches are the ultimate summer treat. Whether enjoyed as-is, as the filling for a crumble, cobbler, or crisp, or even as an unexpected food you should be grilling, there are few things that can top a good peach. However, selecting perfectly ripe and sweet peaches at the store can be tricky. Choose too early, and you'll be waiting a while for them to ripen. Too late, and you're left with mealy pieces of fruit.

Have you ever had biscuits fresh from a gas grill? If not, you probably should. Now, the concept of grilled biscuits may seem inconceivable, if not improbable, to some. After all, you don't often think of biscuits when it comes to grilling. Grills are most often used to cook cuts of meat or veggies.

When it comes to easy-to-prepare, delicious seafood, it's hard to beat shrimp. The crustaceans' flavor is mild, containing a pleasant sweetness accompanied by just a touch of fishiness. So as long as you don't under season — one of the main shrimp cooking mistakes to avoid — you'll be rewarded with a tasty result. And especially for grilled shrimps, one of the best ways to enhance flavor is with a sauce. You'll have so many classic seafood sauce styles to choose from: think a classic soft and decadent butter-baste, a tangy spritz of citrus, or a dollop of spicy peppery-goodness. Feeling indecisive about the exact kind of flavor vibe? Put it all together, and craft a spicy lemon garlic butter sauce.

The Cuban sandwich (aka the Cubano) may only have a few ingredients, but when done right, it's a masterpiece of bread, meat, and cheese. A classic Cuban sandwich recipe calls for roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard on pillowy Cuban bread. If you're in Tampa, salami goes in there too. The sandwich is often pressed in a plancha (Spanish for "cooking plate"), to make the outside hot and crispy and the cheese melted and gooey.
