When I was younger, I loved eating corn on the cob solely because it meant using our cute corn-shaped holders. I’ve since gained a more nuanced appreciation for sweet summer corn—it’s easy to prepare, can be added to any number of summer dishes, and needs few (if any!) adornments when eaten at its prime. In fact, I stalked my local farmers market’s Instagram page to know the very first day it was ready for pickup.

Rotisserie chicken is a fast and easy way to add protein to your meal prep routine. According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

You know when people tell a pregnant woman that it looks like she swallowed a watermelon? It’s really time we stop commenting on people’s bodies, but I’ll admit that was accurate when I was pregnant: Watermelon was my number-one craving in all six of my pregnancies. I ate at least a watermelon a week, even outside of summer.

Green olives are one of my very favorite foods. Salty, fruity, briny, nutty, and buttery, their complexity adds depth to almost any dish, and they pair beautifully with a number of foods, notably cheese.

If there wasn't, the restaurant wouldn't have nearly 900 locations and do nearly $5 billion in sales every year.

Summer and ice cream go hand-in-hand. Afterall, there is nothing as refreshing as an ice-cold treat straight from the freezer. Unless that is, you get listeria from it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just released a list of 13 ice cream brands that have been recalled for their potential to infect consumers with this bacterial infection with potentially deadly consequences. While no illnesses have been reported at this time, erring on the side of caution, the FDA recommends you toss the tubs and hit up the point of purchase for a refund. Be sure to check the complete recall list here for specific lots and plant codes to verify your product was — or wasn’t — included in the recall. Without further ado, here are the brands on the chopping block.
