Planning a home’s private outdoor retreat for relaxation and social gatherings involves more than imagining how it will look. Much like interior redesigns, the focus first must be on functionality, and practical logistics like how the space will be used and how many people it should or could accommodate.

Bobby Flay has said that his last meal would be a cheeseburger (“with two slices of American cheese”). And the “most signature dish that I have” is the shrimp and roasted garlic tamale that’s become a staple on the menu at all of his Mesa Grill restaurants. He also revealed to our pals at Allrecipes that chicken “is sort of ‘my protein.’”

Maximizing leftovers not only saves you time in the kitchen but also saves you money on your grocery bill and reduces food waste. By utilizing your leftovers to make a new meal, you can get the most bang for your buck and turn a previously used ingredient into a new menu item – this keeps our weekly dinner menu exciting and fresh. It is estimated that the average American throws away roughly $1500 worth of food each year, either through spoilage or uneaten leftovers. With the cost of groceries steadily rising and the average monthly cost of groceries exceeding $1000, it is important that we think creatively about ways to use what we have. By transforming your leftovers, you will make your wallet much happier.

From fashion to home design to food, trends seem to come in cycles. While we’re not quite sure if we’ve circled all the way back from wide legs to mom jeans and back to skinny jeans again (please clue us in if you know!), one thing we know for sure: cooking over live fire is never going to go out of style.

There’s a reason Marry Me Chicken is so popular: It’s simple, delicious, and pretty easy to make. It earned its name after an editor at Delish, Lindsay Funston, made a recipe video for a Tuscan-style chicken dish in 2016. The video’s producer took a bite and said, “I’d marry you for that chicken!” It went viral on TikTok, and it seemed like everyone looking for an engagement—or just a really good chicken dish—had to try it out.

This Giant Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia) was found on my grill cover as I went to cook some dinner one night last week. This is by far my favorite moth due to its striking appearance. These moths are common across South Carolina and have at least two generations per year. The larval form of this moth is commonly referred to as the giant wooly bear due to its black wooly appearance. They feed on a wide range of plants and should not be considered a pest for a grower or homeowner.
