Looks good enough to eat! You could certainly say that about Kate Jenkins' crocheted food dishes.

There are perhaps two universal truths that all of us (non-vegetarian) writers at The Kitchn share: a mutual love for flavorful, inexpensive chicken thighs and for rich, hearty braises. When the first is paired with the second, their powers know no bounds. And a braise might sound like more of a cold-weather meal, I really love the savory combination all year round — plus it's an easy one-pot dinner for weeknights. Here I added a plethora of bright bell peppers and sweet red onions to help shout "summer braise" from the rooftops.

For a beautiful, summery treat, how about making fruity ice cubes? Just layer pureed fruit, fruit juice, or other smoothie ingredients in a ice cube tray — mango juice, strawberry juice, maybe a little coconut milk or yogurt — then pop in the freezer!

The more I cook at home, the more critical I am of my own mistakes. More often than not, these mistakes have to do with seasoning a dish. True confession: I'm an under-seasoner, always hearing my mother's voice in the back of my head warning me to avoid using too much salt and remain cautious with herbs. But there's more to bland cooking than simply under-seasoning. So often it also has to do with a lack of acid, or that little bit of oomph!

My dad is a major snacker, with Pringles being one of his favorites. I studied abroad in Finland my junior year of college. Where in the world could these two statements possibly overlap? Well... More

Monterey Pitcher from Bauer Pottery

• $65
• Bauer Pottery

For sheer classic American style, you can't do much better than this Monterey Pitcher from Bauer, the venerable pottery company from Los Angeles. I especially like their brighter colors, which feel both modern and classic at the same time. The perfect pitcher for homemade ginger ale or lemonade.

I love to entertain, but I'll be frank: I'm on a pretty strict budget. And because I try to buy sustainably-raised meat, even supposedly "cheap" cuts like pork shoulder or short ribs are too expensive to be more than an occasional treat, so more often than not, my dinner party menus are mostly vegetarian, fairly healthy and quite budget-friendly. This menu features freshened-up versions of classic comfort food and is perfect for a casual gathering to catch up with a few friends before the bustle of summer begins.
