During this summer heat wave, all we can think about is an ice-cold dessert to cool us down. When it’s this hot, no one wants to turn on the oven—in fact, we barely want to go to the grocery store, because that requires extra time spent outside transporting our rapidly-thawing groceries into the house.

Whether it be for last-minute meals, quick and easy dinners, grocery shopping on a budget, or whenever cravings strike, most of us have meat or seafood stored away in the freezer for future use. While it’s both wise and useful to keep frozen proteins on hand, the real trick is remembering to thaw them properly and thoughtfully for when the time comes to cook. But what’s the best way to do this?

The Worst Ways to Thaw Meat and Seafood, According to a Chef

I’ve learned the majority of my cooking skills by observing my grandma in the kitchen as diligently as humanly possible. She’s taught me how to make curry pastes, properly chop onions, and even debone entire chickens. But the most valuable tip that she’s taught me, by far, is how to cook perfect white rice each and every time.

I grew up in Texas, and if there's one thing I know Southerners take seriously, it's sweet tea. I wouldn’t consider myself the ultimate sweet tea enthusiast—an Arnold Palmer is my preferred summer beverage by far—but, I know a lot of people who are so dedicated to the drink that they think any restaurant without sweet tea on the menu should be illegal.

I’m not sure at what age talking about grocery stores and stellar food deals became an exciting conversation, but I’m there. Whenever I find a cheap product or a grocery item I love, I feel the need to tell everyone I know. It’s like wearing a dress that has pockets—you have to share the little secret.

Becoming the baker in the family is both a blessing and a curse. I love trying new recipes and having my family members act as my guinea pigs and test the final products, especially when those recipes are desserts tied to my Mexican heritage. Of course, this also means frequent requests for more of said cookies, pies, cakes, etc.—all of which I’m happy to oblige.

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.

As a big fan of Yeti, I’ll be the first to tell you that the brand rarely goes on sale. Although the popular drinkware is known for its extreme durability—I once watched a Yeti water bottle survive falling out of a moving car—that quality comes at a higher cost than others. But now, thanks to Amazon Prime Day, you can get these buy-for-life products on a deep discount. Score a super-insulated Tundra 35 Cooler for $83 off, or take 50 percent off one of the brand’s coveted can koozies. The Prime Day deals only run through Wednesday, so grab them while you can!

Pssst! Yeti Just Discounted a Ton of Tumblers, Coolers, and More for Amazon Prime Day

A few weeks ago, my friends and I, by some touch of fate, were all free to hang out on a Friday night.
