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?

Juicy and full of beefy flavor, skirt steak needs little help in the flavor department. Even so, all meat deserves a little dressing up every once in awhile. This recipe for grilled skirt steak with corn and tomato salsa, developed by Kate Shungu, is a simple way to jazz up an already-flavorful skirt steak. "I love serving this dish when the weather is warm," Shungu says. "It has the flavors of summer (grilled meat, fresh tomatoes, corn), and you don't even have to turn on your oven to make it. Just season and grill the meat, mix the salsa, and dinner is done."

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 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.
