Since we’re just starting the summer harvest season, we wanted to create a recipe using fresh tomatoes that features garden vegetable flavor. 

Therefore, we’ve packed the ingredients list with veggies you’re likely to find in your garden or at your local farmer’s market. The resulting homemade pasta sauce is a much richer and more complex compared to traditional spaghetti sauce. 

In addition to the classic pop of cherry tomatoes, the final product features flavors of bell pepper and fresh herbs, and a little sweetness from the carrots. Zucchini adds a freshness and tender texture that balances the sauce’s sweet and savory flavors.

This homemade pasta sauce is a great way to change up your weekly pasta night while enjoying the taste of fresh produce!

We wanted to create a creamy potato salad recipe that was quicker and easier to make than traditional potato salad. 

This Green Goddess red potato salad recipe has all of the flavors of fresh herbs with the convenience of a dump-and-go bottle of creamy dressing. 

Best of all, the red potatoes require no peeling and you can cook the hard-boiled eggs at the same time in the same pot as you boil the potatoes.

Perfect for picnics, potlucks, barbecues, and family dinners!

Hawaiian Haystacks are a popular potluck dish where I’m from. And it’s easy to see why—haystacks are a great recipe that feeds a crowd and is easy to customize.

There’s nothing particularly “Hawaiian” about them—other than the pineapple and coconut flavors—but it seems to have acquired that name in the 1950s and been referred to that way ever since.

Whether you need something easy for busy weeknights or to feed a crowd at casual gatherings, this recipe is sure to please.

Your pressure cooker is the perfect tool for a hot day—no heating up the house or slaving over a hot grill. 

However, we know that most readers use their pressure cookers to supplement the meal, rather than cooking all the parts of it.
