Weeknight get-togethers are always a bright spot in a regular week, which makes them even more charming and fun. Looking forward to hosting friends or family for dinner during the week is all about planning an easy menu with help from a few make-ahead dishes and as few dishes as possible.
The grill is a great tool in executing both. You can marinate proteins or vegetables in advance and then cook most of your dinner on the grill, which cuts down on sides considerably. Here’s my menu for an easy weeknight barbecue, plus some tips and tricks for pulling it off with ease.

If you have a sweet tooth (and are an Amazon Prime member), prepare to be amazed. A few months ago, Amazon launched Prime Surprise Sweets — and basically told no one about it!
Maybe you’ve already heard of it? If so, you must run in some in-the-know circles! If you hadn’t heard about it, don’t feel so bad — we just found out about it last week! Keep reading to learn what exactly it’s all about.

Meatless Monday is one thing, but how do you load up on veggies the rest of the week? Without going full vegetarian, it’s actually quite simple to pile on the good stuff and still embrace your inner omnivore, especially this time of the year when great produce is abundant. We compiled 20 of our favorite summer dinners that bring vegetables to the center of the plate. Some are meatless, while others tuck in meat and fish here and there but still make veggies the focus. They are suppers you’re sure to feel good about serving to your family this season.

This spring was finally going to be the spring I got a fire pit. I’ve wanted one for a very long time (fire pits are awesome!) and my husband and I had saved up the necessary funds.
We found a landscaper (hi, Sam!) through word of mouth and met with him to make a plan. I know, we could have just bought a premade fire pit from Home Depot, put some chairs around it, and called it a (much less expensive) day. But our yard is actually pretty buggy and slanty, so we wanted to carve out an official area for a patio and the fire pit. I wanted a space off to the side that would be private (a lot of our yard can be seen from the road) and give us an awesome place to hang out — and make s’mores! — with friends late into the summer nights.
“How hard could it be?” I stupidly asked.

As soon as those ears of sweet corn hit the market, take a night to enjoy them as they are, piping-hot with lots of butter. Then immediately move onto this warm and creamy corn casserole, because it is the most irresistible way to use up a few ears of sweet corn. It’s cheesy and indulgent, although the mix of tender kernels of corn, veggies, fresh herbs, and a pop of heat keep it in check so it’s not too heavy for summer.
