The Best Grilled Chicken

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the trickiest to get right, and grilled chicken is a perfect example. Boneless, skinless breasts are so lean, they often end up dry and bland. And while marinating might seem like the answer, it can actually make things worse. My go-to method keeps the chicken juicy and flavorful every time—no fancy ingredients, just a few easy tricks that really work.

Cucumber Salad

This is my go-to cucumber salad recipe for summer picnics and BBQs. It's simple, irresistibly good, and actually gets better if you make it ahead—what more could you ask for?

Berry trifles make perfect summer party desserts—they're beautiful, feed a crowd, and can be made ahead. The only downside is that all those layers can be time-consuming to make from scratch. I take a few shortcuts: store-bought ladyfingers, cream cheese whipped into the filling for richness, and raspberry jam to bring the fruit together. The result is a stunning, crowd-pleasing trifle that comes together in just 30 minutes.
