Deviled eggs are a must-have at any gathering where there's food, in my opinion ;) Is this just a Southern thing? I don't know... Optional: finely chopped chives or parsley for garnish.

Guests gather around the grill and mill about outside at most backyard barbecues. If the host is running back and forth to the kitchen preparing and serving sides, they miss out on the best parts of the party. By getting the side dishes sliced, diced, and stirred before the party, you are free to spend the party working the grill–or the crowd.

While have held the title of the ultimate campfire snack for years, we think this summer, it’s time to introduce a new favorite to the flames. Say hello to Brown Bears, the irresistibly buttery, cinnamon-swirled treats that put a whole new twist (pun intended) on campfire cooking. They’re as fun to make as they are to eat, and best of all, they only require four ingredients.

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.

Forget peach pie this summer. Yes, it’s delicious, but making the dough and then rolling it and fidgeting with it to get it in the pie pan can be an exercise in extreme patience. That’s why I lean on my grandma’s tricks to get delicious baked goods on the table in less than 60 minutes, from start to finish. Her sheet-pan peach crisp is a good example of her genius. Working smarter, not harder, she quickly sliced fresh juicy peaches, topped them with the easiest crunchy topping and baked it on a sheet pan until the kitchen smelled like a bakery. Here’s how you can make it too.

Jimmy John’s has been adding many new items to its stacked menu. The popular sandwich chain brought us the BLAHS sandwich not long ago to cheer us up during the cold winter months before revamping its popular Caprese Salami Pesto, making it even better. And it’s giving away one...

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.

The 9 Best Snacks for Long Road Trips

In the food world, few debates are as controversial as whether or not pineapple belongs on pizza. So, it’s only natural that when Pepsi entered the pineapple conversation last year, it caused quite a stir. Now, a year later, we’re revisiting the question of whether or not pineapple belongs...

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.

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.

I’ve tried many versions of pudding and cake before because they are the best and my absolute favorite foods to enjoy for dessert and even for breakfast, depending on the type of cake. There are a lot of recipes that you can find online and learn but if you want to try the best of both worlds, then whip up this creamy caramel pudding cake by HidaMari Cooking on YouTube.

Bring chicken broth to a simmer in a pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, diced chicken, couscous, salt, and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Microwave butter in a small glass bowl until melted, about 30 seconds. Add flour, whisking well until smooth. Whisk roux into broth, and cook...

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.

We Tried 11 Types of Hot Dogs—These Were Our Favorite

A properly grilled steak is a thing of beauty, with gorgeous charred grill marks and a juicy, perfectly cooked center. But there’s no room to hide when it comes to grilling a steak—you either nail it or you miss, which can make the cooking process feel intimidating to folks who don’t grill steaks all the time. Fortunately, there are some tried and true tricks that will help you keep your steak moist, tender, and full of flavor. We asked Allrecipes Allstar Bri Appleton to share her favorite tidbit of steak-grilling wisdom.

Why You Should Stop Salting Your Steak Before Grilling, According to My Parents

Crackers are one of my most favorite foods. I love the crispy texture and subdued taste that makes them the perfect carriers for everything from tuna salad to sliced cheese. Aside from classic cheese-style crackers, one of my favorites is the beloved round, buttery style. It’s somehow crispy, flakey, buttery, salty, and overall perfect for snacking. I have my go-to (heyyyy, Ritz), but I’m always looking for the next best thing. So when I was given the opportunity to try several brands to pick the most delicious, of course I said, “yeah, sure.”
