Recipe: Yogurt Breakfast Popsicles — Recipes from The Kitchn
Your eyes do not deceive you. This is breakfast that you can eat one-handed while walking to the bus stop, and it’s got just as much going for it a bowl of yogurt with granola and fruit. In fact, it is a bowl of yogurt — just in frozen, easily-grabbable popsicle form. Time to dig out those popsicle molds!
summer squash gratin with salsa verde
For someone who has, at best, only moderate interest in eating all things zucchini and summer squash, this site’s archives tell different story. I mean, how about a torte, some fritters, zucchini bread or zucchini bread pancakes? Maybe a rice gratin, crisps or my favorite 5-minute side dish is more your speed? The 40-plus recipes from previous summers would make you think I jump for joy when the inevitable August glut of green and yellow piles at the Greenmarkets; instead, I approach them warily.
I blame my weird need for a challenge. I find zucchini and summer squash a little… slippery and limp in most dishes. It’s usually under-seasoned. But rather than wear my failure to see what others do in a food as a badge of honor, it bothers me. I want to be proven wrong. Show me the light, crooknecks and cocozzelles!

3 Reasons Why a Simple Party Menu Is Best — Gatherings from The Kitchn
When the other Kitchn editors and I first discussed the porch party I ended up hosting a few weeks ago, we all agreed it had to have a simple menu. There would be no appetizer platters or multiple side dishes, no fancy dessert course or cocktail station. Instead, I would stick to the basics: one appetizer, one salad, the main dish, and dessert.
Here are three reasons why a simple menu works so well for a party.
5 Tips for Making a Week’s Worth of Salads on Sunday — Tips from The Kitchn
For many years I worked in overnight retail management. Working odd hours is rough to begin with, but having something fresh for lunch at 2AM was tricky, so we turned to salads — they were easy to make, quick to throw together, and always left us with a fresh burst of energy.
Here are some tips I learned along the way to help you efficiently prep a variety of salad lunches on Sunday. I promise it won’t be monotonous, and you’ll actually look forward to eating them throughout the week!

Recipe: Jalapeño Popper Potato Skins — Recipes from The Kitchn
I don’t know about you, but for my money, it’s hard to beat potato skins and jalapeño poppers when it comes to appetizers. So smashing them together in one layered, bite-sized appetizer just seems to make sense to me.
Stuffed jalapeño poppers, and crispy potato skins? In one bite. One delicious bite.
12 Reasons Homemade Ice Cream Is the Best — Recipes from The Kitchn
Ice cream is practically a civic right in the summertime, along with air-conditioned libraries, open fire hydrants, and public pools. We all need our fix of something creamy and cool, and even better if it’s made at home in your own ice cream maker.
Today we have 12 deliciously creamy and cold treats, and there’s something here for everyone — including those of us who avoid dairy and eggs. We have classic chocolate ice cream, but also vegan coconut with almonds and chocolate chips. There’s lemon sorbet, peach pie ice cream, and the best vegan strawberry swirl ever, all of which you need to try immediately, so pull out that ice cream maker!
Pizza Party on the Porch: The Plan — Gatherings from The Kitchn
When my husband and I moved into a ground floor apartment last summer, it was the first time in seven years we had outdoor space to call our own. The back porch, crumbly and peeling as it was, was exclusively ours, and the communal backyard unused by our upstairs neighbors.
Given this, we did something we’d been dreaming about doing forever: we got a grill. And when life hands you a porch, a grill, and a fierce love of pizza (as I have), there’s really only one thing left to do: throw an outdoor pizza party on a beautiful summer day.
