  Summer grilling

  Think BBQ sauce, not meat, when mixing cocktails

  When it comes to food and drink pairings, most of us tend to be pretty old school. As in, red with beef, white with fish.

  Shortcut baking

  Ice cream bread an online hit

  A recipe for ice cream bread caught my eye on the Taste of Home website. Besides sounding interesting — and rating four stars out of five — the recipe made a mini-loaf, the perfect size for empty nesters.

  Elevate your lunch with classic egg salad

  I ate egg salad sandwiches with my Grandma Lilly at various department store tea rooms a mountain of years ago. I love them still, though the kind I build today look a lot less trimmed, pale and polished. They are open-faced, perhaps with a liner of leafy greens and herbs, and topped sometimes with a crackle of nuts or seeds.

  You’re doing it wrong

  How to make better jam

  Most people I know buy jam when they want jam. This makes sense in the winter, when fresh peaches, cherries and berries are in short supply, and when jam is the easiest way to make those fruits a part of your life.

  Sunday Supper

  Brine or braise for moist pork chops

  Some years ago, pork producers altered their breeding and feeding techniques to yield leaner meat. That’s a nutritional plus, but it makes it a challenge keep pork chops from drying out during cooking.

  Fish stew

  A one-pan meal from Morocco

  This one-pan meal is bright, intense and satisfyingly filling, given its ingredients. Using skin-on fish helps the delicate chunks from breaking up during cooking.

  Mushrooms make vegan dish meaty

  Today’s dish is a vegan version of the classic Linguine with Clam Sauce, minus the clams, a recipe from Vegetarian Times that caught my eye.

  Salsas

  A trio of summer salsas, no tomatoes needed

  Who says salsa has to be made from tomatoes? Or dumped unceremoniously from a jar?

  Mediterranean Chef’s Salad

  The traditional chef’s salad is a snapshot of the typical 1970s-era American deli counter. This version has Mediterranean flair, with cumin-rubbed grilled shrimp, roasted peppers and a light lemon dressing.

  3 peppers add pop to your July 4 potato salad

  One variety of pepper just isn’t enough to get this potato salad ready for your July Fourth celebration. So we upped it to three — black pepper, cayenne pepper and roasted red peppers — each adding their own distinct flavor. And don’t worry, the bite of black and cayenne peppers are tamed by the sweet roasted red peppers and the sour cream dressing.

  July 4th

  A coconut and berry no-bake pie for July Fourth

  Just because summer seems to scream for pie doesn’t mean we are eager to crank up the oven. This is especially true at the Fourth of July, when we’d rather focus on the grill and preparations for fireworks.

  Steak salad

  Marinated meat is star of this salad

  A simple flank, top round or sirloin steak, marinated in a soy sauce-based dressing and then broiled or grilled, is one of those easy, fast dishes that never seem to go out of style. I understand the appeal, but with today’s meat-on-the-side, vegetables-in-the-middle sensibility taking hold, it’s time for an update.

  TAbbouleh

  Try tabbouleh with quinoa instead of bulgur

  Though everyone seems to have a different way of spelling tabbouleh — toubouleh? tabouli? — more and more people do seem to agree that this delicious Middle Eastern salad of bulgur wheat tossed with cucumbers, tomatoes, herbs, olive oil and lemon juice is delicious. It helps that it’s also healthy and quick to prepare.
• 

  Pasta carbonara remade as a delicious summer salad

  Pasta carbonara — richly cheesy, creamy and studded with crisped pancetta — is easily one of the most comforting of pasta dishes. The only trouble is, with the onset of warmer weather we tend to crave salads more than steaming bowls of pasta. So for this recipe, we decided to have it both ways.

  On the shelf

  New kitchen products for summer

  Get a grip on hot stuff (up to 482 degrees) with these Kitchen Gloves from Trudeau. They’re heat- and flame-resistant, so are good for prolonged handling of hot items. Silicone patterning improves the grip, flexible fabric enhances dexterity, and the size provides wrist and forearm protection. But they’re not waterproof, so don’t use when wet. For grill cooking or kitchen tasks (say, draining bacon grease from a hefty iron skillet or removing heavy pans from the oven), we found them easier to work with than kitchen mitts. A set of two is $39.99 at shoptrudeau.com.

  Father’s Day

  A lighter take on classic steakhouse fare

  My family eats a lot less red meat than it used to, but when I plan a Father’s Day menu, I still think of steak and potatoes. If you care about Dad’s heart health, the trick is to lower the fat and calorie count while keeping the satisfaction quotient high.
