Lemonade float
Making a hearty batch of lemonade is one of Lee’s “favourite summertime rituals,” so this year, add a scoop of lemon sorbet and garnish each glass with a lemon slice to give everyone’s homemade drink an extra special flavor.

Macaroni and cheese
This hearty side dish calls for a lot of ingredients, two of which are (yes, you guessed it) butter and cheese. But her secret addition is dry mustard. “I love adding it to my macaroni and cheese,” Ree says. “It adds a nice tang without being overly flavorful.”

Peach Teppanyaki
July is stone fruit season, and juicy peaches are in abundance. When caramelized on the grill and sprinkled with toasted pecans, they’re a truly magical treat. “If you haven’t tried it yet, grill some peaches this weekend!” says Ree. “They’re amazing and great in salads, desserts and even charcuterie!”

Strawberry sauce
“I’ve been making my own ice cream every summer for years and always serve it on the Fourth of July,” says Lee. “It’s a Drummond family tradition and I can’t imagine what it would be like if I didn’t do it one year.” Don’t let them find out! This homemade sauce is the perfect topping for good old fashioned vanilla.

american flag cake
Ree made Ina Garten’s flag cakes for years before discovering this easy method. “I love these sprinkles on a flag cake!” she says. This sheet cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting and layers of colorful nonpareils. A fantastic dessert!

Fresh Corn Casserole
Summer is in the middle of the day, which means it’s corn casserole season. It only requires four ingredients, and of course, fresh corn, which Lee says is the secret to the dish’s richness: using a sharp knife to slice away the corn kernels and scoop out the creamy, milky goodness inside. “It’s going to be an instant classic, I guarantee it.”

Macaroni salad
Macaroni salad is a staple at potlucks and barbecues over Fourth of July weekend, and Ree says it’s sweet, tart, creamy, and never sticky — resulting in a dish Ree describes as “a confetti of awesomeness.”

Best baked beans ever
This is a side dish we eat every July. It’s a PW reader favorite and Ree’s “favorite thing ever.” Check it out for some Southern greatness. The beans are browned and layered with thick-cut bacon. “It’s cooked low and slow and then transformed into a miracle in the oven!”
