A lot of that flavor comes from extra fat on the skin, so only trim excess as needed.

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.

I'm Italian and a chef, so most days, I'm down to do things the long way, like simmer pasta sauce all day or make my own bread. It's partially how I was raised and partially what has been hammered into me working for nearly a decade in professional kitchens. So when I go to the grocery store, I tend to stay away from things like jarred sauces or "shortcut" items.

There's something special about a homemade chocolate brownie lovingly made from scratch.

Before anyone knew it, the house would be as fragrant of cocoa and sugar and butter as it was filled with conversation and laughter and clinking silverware. Sure enough, a tray of brownies cooling on the counter was ready to slice just in time for dessert.
