On those hot summer days when all you want to do is sit back with some sweet tea, you can be sure that there is a grandparent somewhere shelling peas or snapping green beans on her back porch. Bring these recipes to the church potluck, the family reunions and all of the cookouts because if they were good enough for Grandma, they are certainly good enough for your company, too.

Let's begin with what must be the ultimate in retro dessert fare -- the intimidatingly delicious baked Alaska. Ice cream is molded in a bowl, set atop a round layer of cake, then covered in airy meringue.

It may sound like a recipe for a trained pastry chef, but the dozens of reviews from home cooks prove it's totally achievable at home. If you want to make things a little easier, skip making your own cake and use a store-bought cake for the base instead!
