<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We&rsquo;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&rsquo;s for sure, there&rsquo;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&rsquo;s). It&rsquo;s the ultimate summer veggie, in my opinion!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don&rsquo;t know about you, but I&rsquo;m all about one-pan meals. They&rsquo;re easy, they mean fewer dishes, and they just feel like a complete, cohesive dinner.&nbsp;I&rsquo;m also all about a simple dinner that doesn&rsquo;t cost a fortune, and that you can stretch into 2 meals if you&rsquo;re on a budget!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">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.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tender, juicy chunks of chicken, marinated until they&rsquo;re bursting with bright lemon, aromatic garlic, and earthy oregano, are then threaded onto skewers with sweet bell peppers, savory mushrooms, and onion. As they hit the smoky heat of the Traeger grill, the marinade locks in every drop of flavor while giving each bite that perfect touch of wood-fired smokiness.&nbsp;</p>
