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.

The online debate about tilapia is endless. Did you know that it's a fish that's pumped full of hormones and fed its own waste? No, wait, it's an environmentally friendly and sustainable mild fish that can carry many flavor profiles and works well in a variety of dishes. With fans and critics either singing its praises or bashing it, one must ask the question: Is tilapia really a garbage fish?

This is my grandmaw's version of potato salad. I have grew up eating this side dish for years and it is so delicious. One of my favorite ways of eating it is with BBQ baby back ribs that have been smoked on the smoker, mac & cheese and a nice dinner roll to go on the side. Also do not forget to add that delicious glass of ice cold sweet tea. Is your mouth watering yet?

If you were to take a bite of funeral potatoes without knowing their name, grief and death would be the farthest thing from your mind. Made with some form of potatoes — hashbrowns, tater tots, and cubed potatoes are most common — cheese, creamy sauce, and a crunchy element like breadcrumbs or cornflakes, funeral potatoes are comfort food at its finest. They taste how a warm hug feels, so it does make sense that this dish is associated with a group of people in need of some comfort: mourners.

Even the most punctilious pantry hawks and fastidious fridge-cleaner-outers among us likely have a bottle of BBQ sauce that's been sitting around longer than they'd care to admit. Right up there with dry goods like flour and sugar, and other relatively long-lasting pantry staples like peanut butter and mustard, BBQ sauce is one of those condiments that seems like it might never go bad. Since most store-bought versions have preservatives, the tangy sweet sauce typically doesn't develop obvious signs of rot (like spots of mold) easily, but to be sure, even this seemingly indestructible product has its limits.

When Does Store-Bought BBQ Sauce Really Go Bad?

A perfect whipped cream can be the final piece of the puzzle that moves a dessert from the realm of good to great, or from great to truly transcendent. The recipe for whipped cream is quite basic on its own, as it only combines a select few ingredients. But getting it to whip just right can often be a test of one's patience, especially if you're preparing it for a dish that you plan on serving later. You want that dessert to be a show-stopper, the final exclamation point of a delicious meal, but how do you keep your whipped cream display-worthy?

Sweet peaches are the ultimate summer treat. Whether enjoyed as-is, as the filling for a crumble, cobbler, or crisp, or even as an unexpected food you should be grilling, there are few things that can top a good peach. However, selecting perfectly ripe and sweet peaches at the store can be tricky. Choose too early, and you'll be waiting a while for them to ripen. Too late, and you're left with mealy pieces of fruit.
