Pass the cocktail sauce, because when it comes to trendy seafood, shrimp is leading the charge. While this shellfish has been a family favorite for decades as the most consumed seafood in the U.S., more and more restaurants—including many popular chains—are highlighting this protein as an affordable luxury.

It’s undeniable that there’s a lot to love about shrimp. Its salty sweetness is not only delicious, but it also complements a variety of flavors and cuisines. From Italian to Mexican, Cajun to Asian, shrimp can be found around every corner of the culinary landscape. Plus, shrimp are super quick-cooking and readily available in various forms—shell on, tail on, deveined, shelled, fresh, frozen—making them the perfect choice for a busy weeknight supper.

After a lifetime spent playing other people, Drew Barrymorehas created a new career—and a home line—based on being herself.
Though located in a stately pre-war building on New York’s Upper East Side—a neighborhood not generally associated with laid-back, loosey-goosey vibes—the sunny three-bedroom, three-bath apartment that Drew Barrymore shares with her two daughters, Olive, 10, and Frankie, 9, is anything but uptight. Her two cats and two dogs make themselves at home on the sofas, her girls regularly spread out their messy art supplies all over the dining room table, and even Jeremy, the family’s bearded dragon (who, by the way, is female), is allowed to roam free.
Today we’re back in the Forest Park, Illinois, garden of Enrique Zuniga and Christian Altman, a space they transformed from a blank piece of turfgrass into a beautiful garden that attracts pollinators and is enjoyed by them, their three dogs, and their friends alike.

Biennials are plants that have a two-year life cycle. In the first year, they grow leaves and in the second they flower, before setting seed and dying. June and July are the ideal months to sow their seed. You’ll have young plants ready to go in the ground where you’d like them to flower by early autumn. Then, next spring or summer (depending on which biennial you’ve grown) they’ll produce their flowers.
