Innholdsfortegnelse for June/July 2018 i Allrecipes

This June and July, Allrecipes magazine has a lot of what we love about summer: great food on the grill, the season’s best produce, and cool drinks. Our very own mixologist, Juli Hale, shares her super-simple cocktail tutorial on page 102. I typically let the professionals mix my cocktail, but Juli’s simplified approach (and a couple of taste tests) convinced me to shake and stir my own combinations. The summer solstice party, on page 110, is right all summer long. It’s never too late to string up a few party lights, gather friends, and toast to good days. Cheers!

My boys are at a stage in life (ages 6 and 8) when their entrepreneurial spirit is blossoming. Last summer, they asked me if they could host a lemonade stand to earn some pocket cash. The experience was so much sweeter and more rewarding than any of us expected. Here’s what I learned: 1 LET THE KIDS RUN THE SHOW. Avoid any instinct to control the process. Let your children’s creativity and ideas lead. You can be their support! 2 USE PLANNING AS AN ONGOING FAMILY CONVERSATION TOPIC. Choosing a theme (ours was Happy Food and Drinks) and a color scheme (blue, white, and yellow) and deciding what treats to make gave us lots to talk about during family dinnertime. 3 TEACH THEM ABOUT OVERHEAD COSTS. At first, our…

Drink. And drink Fatigue is one of the first signs that you’re dehydrated. You don’t necessarily need the recommended eight glasses a day (food supplies some of your hydration), but you do need to be sure you’re not thirsty. So when your energy wanes, down 8 ounces of water. Amp it up with a squeeze of lemon, which invigorates and adds potassium. GO NUTS! (AND SEEDS) Their protein, healthy fats, and carbs maintain your blood sugar levels while delivering B vitamins that make your body’s food-to-energy conversion more efficient. Many also pack a powerful magnesium punch to keep your thinking sharp—try solving puzzles when your energy is low!—and vitamin B2, which converts carbs to fuel. To keep calories in check, aim for 1 ounce or less of nuts (about…

THE RIGHT GLASS? THE ONE YOU HAVE! Martini glasses, old-fashioned glasses, and Collins glasses will cover most of your cocktail needs, but use whatever you have—and for heck sakes, don’t spend a lot of money on glassware. Dollar stores are great places to find inexpensive cocktail glasses. Wine or water goblets work well for cocktails, too. Check thrift stores for retro coupes and mid-century mod styles. You may even find vintage tiki mugs, in which case you should send them directly to me. EASY DOES IT For a lighter, lower-alcohol cocktail (also known as a session drink or shim) replace the high-alcohol liquor (rum, vodka, whiskey, gin) in your cocktail with sherry, port, vermouth, Lillet Blanc, or lower-octane liqueurs such as Pimm’s, St-Germain, or Cointreau. FORMULA 1 SMASHES Crushed…

You can find lots of variations on this Southern version—like adding beefy homemade chili or chopped sweet onion—but creamy coleslaw is a must. We like this dog best with a tangy, mustard-based Carolina-style sauce to offset the sweet slaw. Slaw Dog armagazine.com/slaw-dog Spoon creamy coleslaw over a cooked hot dog in a bun. Top with Carolina-style barbecue sauce, then drizzle with Dijon mustard.

(Let the oil return to 350°F after each batch.) Heat pushcart onions in a…

PACK MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU’LL NEED It takes energy to hike through those woods, swim that creek, and chase down those fireflies. All the increased activity will mean that everyone is hungrier than usual. Forget fear of bears: You don’t want to see the panic that sets in when (gasp!) you run out of everyone’s favorite granola bars. INCLUDE SIT-DOWN AND ON-THE-GO SNACKS Aim for a mix of hearty mini meal-type snacks that you’ll take a break and sit down to eat (such as PB&J sandwiches or roll-ups, bagels and baby carrots with hummus, beef sticks, chicken strips, and mozzarella sticks), as well as snacks that can be eaten while on the move (think trail mix, granola bars, nuts, apples, bananas, crackers, and pretzels).

“My husband, Tony, and I are true dog-lovers. After losing our beloved 16-year-old Lab-chow mix, our house felt empty, and we were really sad. So I started searching online for rescue puppies. I came across some living near us and fell in love with the silliest picture of an adorable shepherd-looking pup in a purple shirt and hat. When we went to meet Knox (whom we later renamed Bowie), it was love at first sight. Bowie, a bit older now, is playful and funny and loves to grab anything in his reach. He has many nicknames, including “Jaws,” as he is always grabbing something—socks, newspapers, and mouthfuls of grass, leaves, and sticks. He has brought us such joy and loves our family and friends. The feeling is mutual!” *…

1 PICK’EM UP Sweet, juicy fruits such as melons, pineapples, peaches, plums, and tomatoes should feel heavy for their size. A gentle squeeze can tell you a lot, too: If your peach feels hard as a rock, it’s probably not ripe. You’ll also want to turn melons over and check the spot where the fruit rested on the ground. Typically, the paler the spot, the less ripe the melon. A really yellow spot can signify it’s overripe. 2 LOOK FOR FUZZ Cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, peaches, and even some varieties of beans and okra can have faint fuzz or tiny prickly hairs when they’re at their youngest and freshest. The absence of fuzz isn’t necessarily bad; it can just mean the produce is more mature, has been defuzzed in…

Dou you consider yourself lucky? You should, since it just takes a quick stop at the grocery store these days to reap the skin-nourishing benefits of coconut, a tropical fruit once found only in Southeast Asia and southern India. Centuries ago, inhabitants of the Pacific and Indian ocean basins cultivated two coconut types that spread around the globe via explorers, migration, and flotation. Today, it takes very little exploration to find an array of skin-nourishing coconut products—from coconut oil and flour to fresh, young coconut and its electrolyte-rich water. The most exciting beauty benefit of coconut comes from its supply of healthy fats, which provide the building blocks of skin-cell membranes and enhance your skin’s ability to retain moisture. Coconut fats are unique, as they’re saturated, medium-chain triglycerides that…
