My mother-in-law makes this every time the summer heat gets unbearable, calling it "the salad that cools you down from the inside" — and it's become the one dish no family barbecue is complete without.

Ingredients:

4-6 cups cubed seedless watermelon

2 medium cucumbers, sliced or cubed

1/4 cup fresh mint, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp fresh lime juice

2 tbsp olive oil

Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Pat dry the cubed watermelon and sliced cucumbers to remove excess moisture.

In a large bowl or platter, combine watermelon, cucumber, mint, and basil.

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt to make the dressing.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Top with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately.

Tips: Patting the fruit dry beforehand prevents the salad from becoming watery once dressed

This became my brother's signature camping-trip dessert — even without a campfire, he insists this skillet delivers everything you love about s'mores, and he now refuses to bring anything else to a bonfire night.

Ingredients:

1 cup packed dark brown sugar

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 large eggs

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or butter)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups almond flour (or all-purpose flour)

1/2 cup oats

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup chocolate chunks, divided

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet.

In a large bowl, whisk together brown sugar, peanut butter, and eggs until smooth.

Add coconut oil and vanilla; mix until emulsified.

Stir in flour, oats, baking soda, and salt until just combined.

Fold in half the chocolate chunks.

Spread the batter evenly into the skillet.

Top with remaining chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers.

Bake 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden but center is still slightly underbaked for a gooey texture.

Cool 15-20 minutes before serving, ideally with vanilla ice cream.

Tips: Slightly underbaking the center is intentional — it keeps the cookie fudgy once it sets
