Watermelons are fun and tasty. We acquired a helluva watermelon, which made a helluva watermelon, feta, mint salad. It tasted like summer in a bowl.

Look at this top-notch summer salad with cantaloupe, mozzarella, prosciutto, basil, and balsamic! We challenge you to find a taster treat than ripe cantaloupe.

Are kebabs made with the onlyfire Stainless Steel Rotating Skewer System that fits on the rotisserie for our Weber grill better than ones grilled directly on the grates? Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, these are more fun to cook.

This bowl full of vine-ripened, succulent tomato and fresh crisp cucumber, bell pepper, and red onion and briny, tangy feta tossed in sumptuous olive oil and balsamic vinegar is as satisfying as any meal.

Grape and cherry tomatoes from the backyard garden make a welcome addition to a favorite at-home summer treat: peach tomato burrata salad

We made basil pesto. Our wife transformed it into an amazing dinner. A collaboration. Here’s our recipe for pesto mozzarella chicken with grape tomatoes.

Think it's time to retire your grill? Before spending big money on a new one, consider whether the grill can be refreshed with replacement parts.

Cutting carbs, we’re eating many salads, including this strip streak salad with strawberries. Summer brings the freshest produce, but that steak, it's aged.

Uncooked zoodles are tasty, crunchy, interesting, and fun. Our favorite way to have them is raw mixed with fresh pesto.

We spent four fanciful days vacationing in Massachusetts and road-tripped around the state, including to Northampton, Cape Cod and Boston.

These Brightech Ambience Pro LED String Lights are legit. The wire is well insulated and durable with built-in loops. The bulbs are LED, which means they last forever and don’t run hot.

Hearing taco salad for dinner, we expected a shell bowl filled with grease and sour cream. But, this taco salad is not that taco salad.

These chicken kebabs with lemon coconut aminos glaze won the night. We served them over wholegrain rice—an ultimate summer meal.

Filling, clean, flavorful, crisp, this chopped cruciferous salad with lemon olive oil dressing tastes like summer in a shallow bowl.

This Bitter Lemon Runner is gloriously tart, light and refreshing. It includes rum, homemade bitter lemonade, Grand Marnier, and grenadine.

We made peach mint salsa which we served in tacos over chunks of rotisserie chicken. Super easy. Super fresh. Super tasty. A 15-minute meal.

Our favorite things about August? Tomatoes and peaches! They paired swimmingly in this arugula salad with sheep cheese, pecans and balsamic.

Take advantage of a bursting garden by whipping up for fresh walnut basil oregano pesto. We substituted walnuts for pine nuts and tossed in some oregano.

This variation on the classic Caprese adds avocado. Instead of balsamic vinegar, it uses balsamic glaze, which is richer and more decadent.

We call this whiskey cocktail a Cucumber Mint Mash. With cucumber and mint from our garden, it’s hard to imagine a more crisp and refreshing adult beverage.

A tequila cocktail makes the perfect companion on a hot July evening. This Jalisco Mule has lime juice, blue agave, bitters and cucumber.

Come summer, we start craving spring rolls because they're cool, crisp and fresh. We developed this recipe for sweet braised pork shoulder spring rolls.

Pork spare ribs are big and meaty with tons of fat and connective tissue that melts when cooked low and slow -- a barbecuer’s barceque.

Made from grapefruit juice, a Paloma is utterly refreshing. It feels tropical but doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness.

Planking is a grilling technique wherein meat is cooked on hardwood and the food absorbs the wood's natural flavors.

Being June, and having a garden brimming with early arrivals, we decided to incorporate ripe strawberries and fresh mint into our Friday night cocktail. The result? Great success! We’ve dubbed it “Early June.”

Grilling salmon on a plank, however, is rather foolproof. More importantly, it delivers a juicy, smoky, perfectly done piece of salmon.

Rotisserie chicken—spit-roasted in our backyard–is much, much better than fine. It’s damn fine. Stated alternatively, it’s bet-your-ass fantastic

Colette from Great Divide Brewing Company tastes like summer, which—not surprisingly—tastes delightful. And, it pairs well with almost any food.

If it’s summer, we want these fish tacos with mahi mahi, lime crema and mango salsa. We concocted a spicy rub of paprika, cumin, and chili pepper that balanced out the creaminess and sweetness.

Little can top a dry, 75-degree evening spent outdoors enjoying an adult beverage or a cold ice tea, relaxing alone or commiserating with friends. To fully unwind, though, you need the right furniture. We wish we had this casbah outdoor sectional from CB2. source: CB2.com

Ice cream knows no season. Sure, you may harbor fond childhood memories from sweltering summer evenings of frolicking around catching fireflies while devouring a melting waffle cone. But, don’t pigeonhole this delicacy.  It tastes almost as glorious in March or November as it does in August. If you’ve never eaten homemade ice cream, we pity you—truly. A higher plane of enlightenment exists to which you are oblivious. You’ve heard the saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” Not here. Not even close. Making homemade ice cream used to be arduous. You had to cover this hand-cranked contraption with ice and rock salt and churn it continuously for 25 to 30 minutes. After all that work, you couldn’t immediately enjoy the spoils but had to give it another hour to cure. Things improved with the advent of the electric ice cream machine. About seven...

Okay. That's new and different. A unique tang. Grapefruity but not exactly. Salty. 4.2 ABV. For more information, click here: Hibiscus Gose.

Combustion engines are for suckers. We reached that conclusion after hours of toiling with our gas-powered lawn mower. Listen, we tried everything. We refreshed the fuel. We replaced the gaskets. We cleaned the carburetor and fuel line. We prayed. What reward did we reap? Sputter, sputter, Sputter. Clunk. Meanwhile, our blood pressure rose, and our grass grew long. Our mower, well, we finally kicked it to the curb. Burned too many times, we resolved to change course. Electricity. It’s the future. For almost two months, we’ve used the GreenWorks G-MAX Mower. Consider us converts. Skeptical? The G-MAX Mower isn’t for everyone. Admittedly, it’s different. It doesn’t feel the same. Much lighter, the G-MAX Mower traverses the lawn with ease. We used to count all that straining and grunting as our weekly workout. We’re just lazy now. It doesn’t smell the...
