Preheat oven to 350. …
There’s something about watermelon and summertime. I don’t really eat watermelon the rest of the year. But when the weather’s hot, that refreshing, crisp bite of watermelon is amazing. Every summer, I try out a different watermelon recipe. One year I made granita, another year a jenga board… This year – watermelon pico de gallo. …
Potato salad is one of those things people are really picky about. Everyone’s grandma or mom makes the best potato salad, so it’s tough to compete against.

My mom is a cornbread purist. Every year, she strives to find the perfect cornbread recipe to cube up and shove inside our turkey. She’s never completely satisfied, though, and continues to search for that one recipe where the cornbread won’t crumble. If you have any ideas, please pass them along… I like to make …
