I’ve Made This Creamy Parmesan Zucchini Every Week This SummerRecipes
The beginning of August marks zucchini season for me. Sure, it’s been showing up at the farmers market — and my garden, finally! — for the last couple of weeks, but this is when the real bumper crop of summer squash hits. My local farmers are trying to get rid of all their zucchini every Saturday morning. I can score big ones for just $1 each, so I typically walk out lugging way more than I should be — because who can pass up a deal like that?

This Retro Ingredient Makes the Best Fried Green TomatoesRecipes
Ruby-red tomatoes may be the crown jewel of summer, but I say that fried green tomatoes are the season’s unsung hero. Turn stubbornly unripe green tomatoes into a crunchy Southern specialty. You can make the ultimate fried green tomatoes by dipping in tangy buttermilk, coating in cornmeal, and then frying until golden. Once you taste them warm with a spicy remoulade sauce, you may never wait for tomatoes to ripen again. These fried green tomatoes are extra crispy.

Southern Fried Corn Is My Favorite Way to Cook Corn Every SummerRecipes
Fresh corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer vegetables. Fresh corn has a naturally sweet flavor that makes it a breeze to cook, and the irresistible sound of kernels popping when they’re cut off the cob is music to my ears. Southern-style fried corn is a deliciously simply recipe that excels in maintaining those kernels’ natural sweetness. Despite what it sounds like, fried corn is not deep-fried corn on the cob.

22 "So Good" Radish Recipes You Gotta TryRecipes
For years I skipped over radishes; they felt more like a garnish in green salads than a necessary component. Then I joined a CSA and was bombarded with radishes.

They’re crispy, peppery, and not only a colorful addition to so many dishes, but can also stand out all on their own.

48 Best Corn Recipes to Make All SummerRecipes
Summer brings with it so many vegetables that are hard to get enough of. But of all of them, I think it’s safe to say sweet corn is always the one that steals the show.

This Is the Easiest Way to Cook Corn on the CobRecipes
As a Midwestern gal, born and raised, I do love my corn on the cob. What I don’t love, however, is standing over a boiling pot of water waiting for the cobs to cook on a sweltering summer day. Boiling has also always felt to me like a lot of labor for what amounts to a few minutes of actual cook time. Enter: the microwave. Ever since we first talked about this method, the microwave has become my favorite tool for quickly cooking a few ears of corn for a weeknight summer dinner.

This Is the Pasta Salad I Bring to Every CookoutRecipes
I have to admit an unpopular opinion: I am just not into mayonnaise-based summer salads. When it is hot out, I want to eat light and refreshing salads, not thick and creamy ones. So when I say this is the best pasta salad ever, it’s with that opinion in mind. But a mayo-free pasta salad can still come with a degree of creaminess. In this case it’s by way of an olive oil-rich vinaigrette and a sprinkling of flavorful soft cheese.
