Spend a little time prepping these seven recipes and your summer will be set.

No dish has taken more tinkering than meatloaf. We’ve perfected a classic, made turkey tempting, and even eliminated the meat all together in favor of a nut-based loaf. Destined for the oven, no matter the meat, the mixture is always packed into metal loaf pans or molded into freeform loaves onto baking sheets. Until now!

In this recipe we flavor a mixture of beef and pork with sautéed onions and press it into a cast iron skillet. Then we brush the baked meatloaf with barbecue sauce and broil it until glossy and sticky, leaving each bite of juicy meatloaf coated in a sweet and smoky glaze.

As soon as summer hits, my parents’ backyard garden becomes our very own farmers market. Their most prolific crop is zucchini — and they grow so much of it that I barely have to hit up the grocery produce section.

A few summers ago, we neglected to pick one sneaky squash hiding behind a big leaf and didn’t realize until it was the size of a Louisville Slugger. Needless to say, our family ate a lot of zucchini that week.

Everyone knows that tired joke about vegans: How do you know if someone’s a vegan? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you. And the same has been said about people who do Paleo (except they’ll tell you right after they describe their Crossfit WOD in excruciating detail). But when it comes to a combination of the two — Peganism — one doctor says followers won’t have to tell you, because they’re the ones who look well-adjusted, healthy, and satisfied.
