One of my favorite things to do in the summer is eat. While of course family vacation and beach days are nice, summer’s bounty is unmatched. With plenty of seasonal fruits, veggies, and garden-fresh herbs in the kitchen, it’s a great time of year to experiment with new recipes. The Test Kitchen decided to take the one-pot pasta recipe trend and make a low-carb version using zoodles. Whether you are cutting carbs or are a super fan of summer squash, you’ll definitely want to add this summer one-pot pasta with zucchini noodles and tomatoes to your rotation.

Slow Cooker Summer Creamed Corn

Posted on July 22, 2018 in Everyday Recipes,slow cooker,summer,side-dishes,corn,

Every year on a business trip to Des Moines, Iowa I go to 801 Chophouse. Religiously, I have been going to 801 for at least 10 years (sometimes twice in one year, if I’m lucky). While it’s a fabulous steak joint, the absolute best part of the restaurant is their creamed corn. The restaurant is in Iowa after all – home of the best corn in the world, and I could eat their creamed corn for every meal. It’s that good.

Alabama White BBQ Sauce

Hamilton Beach HQ is located outside of Richmond, Virginia, so the staff here is most familiar with barbecue from our neighbor to the south – North Carolina-style bbq. But there are so many barbecue styles and sauces to enjoy all over the country. From NC-style pulled pork to saucy Texas brisket, ‘tis the season for barbecue. This summer we wanted to expand our ‘cue catalog. We’re steering away from the tomato-based bbq sauces you’re used to and making an Alabama staple – Alabama white sauce.
