Summery, fruity and sweet to its core, our peach sangria recipe is like sunshine in a glass. A mix of fresh peaches and peach schnapps promises that the fruit flavor isn’t a subtle hint—it’s a full-on peach bushel. They’re swirled with white wine and topped with fizzy sparkling water for an extra pop. Just remember to mix it up a few hours before serving so the ingredients and flavors have time to meld into one another. It’s worth the wait!

Whenever I have friends or family over, I make sure my bar is stocked with all the makings for simple cocktails. I might like to think I have time to separate egg whites for whiskey sours or that I’d remember to prep enough espresso shots for espresso martinis, but it never happens. Guests arrive, and I make the simplest drinks I know off the top of my head. The lemon drop martini is a go-to for me.

This Old Bay shrimp boil recipe cooks in a single pot and feeds eight people, making it the perfect summer meal to feed a crowd. This classic southern recipe is a coastal tradition that creates a range of complementary flavors and textures. The sweet corn is juicy and crispy, while the potatoes are tender and creamy. The snappy finish of the spicy, smoky sausage contrasts the springy texture of the subtle-flavored shrimp. Pile it high on a serving platter, and watch it disappear before your eyes.

Dump cake is one of the easiest desserts to make. The four-ingredient cake gets its name because the components are literally “dumped” into a baking dish. Most dump cake recipes don’t even require prep work other than melting or cubing the butter. This lemon dump cake recipe is so easy to pull off that even first-time bakers will revel in their success—and maybe even memorize the recipe after the first go!

I can think of several cocktails sweet enough to be considered dessert. The chocolate-rich Brandy Alexander immediately comes to mind, quickly followed by tropical, coconut pina coladas or sweet-tart, candied lemon drop shots. But this frozen mudslide recipe stands in a league of its own. To make it, vodka, Irish cream and coffee liqueur are blended with ice cream to create a thick, creamy, boozy adult milkshake.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

It’s hard to resist the hot pink beauty of fresh raspberries when they’re in season. Tart, intensely fruity and even subtly floral, raspberry’s unique flavor shouldn’t be masked under a ton of heavy ingredients. That’s why we love baking these berries in our raspberry crumble.

This gin fizz recipe is as complex-tasting as a simple cocktail can get. It’s made with only five ingredients and has a similar sweet-tart character to lemonade (especially when made with a citrus-forward gin). Adding egg whites gives the cocktail a nuanced consistency that makes it as velvety as a milkshake or an ice cream float. And because the cocktail is finished with effervescent club soda, it feels lighter than many other gin cocktails. It’s makes a great porch sipper, brunch cocktail or after-dinner treat.

A classic daiquiri is made with rum, lime juice and sugar that’s shaken over ice and strained into a chilled glass. Frozen daiquiris take it up a notch by blending the rum, lime juice and sugar with ice cubes and fruit, creating a sweet, frothy drink. Our frozen banana daiquiri recipe goes one step further, leaning into tropical flavor with the addition of rich coconut milk. It’s one of those creamy frozen cocktail recipes that’s sweet enough to satisfy your dessert cravings and refreshing enough to cool you down on a hot day.

There's nothing better on a super hot day than a nice, fresh and cool summer salad! One of our favorite flavor combos is bacon, lettuce and tomato. (Okay, so really, it's anything with bacon in it... don't judge. :D)

Looking for a chocolate sheet cake with a twist that is easy to make and travels well? Coca-cola cake checks all the boxes. It takes a familiar favorite and jazzes it up with the sweet taste of cola. Topped off with an old-fashioned glaze that’s poured over the cake while still warm from the oven, this dessert is hard to resist. Serve it up plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

One of the best summer desserts anyone can make is a crumble recipe. Bursting with the fruits of the season, it’s a fantastic way to showcase their flavor without masking the fruits with a ton of extra ingredients. This blackberry crumble recipe is the perfect example. The blackberries are the star, and the thick, buttery crumble topping enhances their natural flavors without pulling the attention away. It’s a warm and inviting dessert with room to play around with different fruits and baking spices if curiosity strikes.

I’ll admit it—mincing and dicing take up most of my time in the kitchen, and it’s my least favorite part of cooking. Even after investing in one of the best knife sets, I still dread the idea of spending precious minutes making bite-sized tomatoes for salsa or minute walnut pieces for pesto. Some folks prefer showing off their fancy knifework with clean, precise slices of sweet potato or evenly chopped carrots. However, I’d rather save that energy for flawless pan-fried finishes and brush up on my reduction skills.

(MA) Get ready to meet three little balls of fluff who are ready to fill your heart, and life, with love. Brynn, Bambi, and Bubbles Bath are 6-week-old Great Pyrenees mix sisters who were found as strays living under a porch. Sadly, their mother, also a stray, did not allow herself to be caught and brought into rescue alongside her babies. Despite that, the three puppies are healthy and happy in their new foster home. They have a bright future ahead of them, assuming YOU adopt them! Or, maybe you don't want pure joy, cuteness, and fluff-love in your life.
