We’ve rounded up the perfect mix of snacks, appetizers, sides, mains, and even a custard dessert to end things on a sweet note. One thing’s for sure, there’s no wrong way to enjoy corn this season! You can either buy unhusked corn on the cob, or buy it pre-husked (like from Costco or Trader Joe’s). It’s the ultimate summer veggie, in my opinion!

I don’t know about you, but I’m all about one-pan meals. They’re easy, they mean fewer dishes, and they just feel like a complete, cohesive dinner. I’m also all about a simple dinner that doesn’t cost a fortune, and that you can stretch into 2 meals if you’re on a budget!

Here, the orzo absorbs every bit of rich tomato-beef flavor as it bakes, while a whole block of feta melts into a lusciously creamy sauce that ties everything together in the most delicious way. Serve with a side salad, crusty bread, or roasted veggies.
