2Cheesy Asparagus Foil Packs
PHOTO: ROCKY LUTEN; FOOD STYLING: ADRIENNE ANDERSONOur cheesy baked asparagus is one of our most popular recipes (and for very good reason). It's so well-loved, that we knew we had to make a grilled version. This summer side uses one of my favorite summer hacks—foil packs—to make serving asparagus easier than ever. With plenty of melty cheese, garlic, fresh lemon juice, and a bit of red pepper flakes for heat, these foil packs don't sacrifice any flavor (even though they're so easy to make).

It might technically be called a salad, but you’ll probably find yourself snacking on this panzanella for breakfast, dinner… and dessert.

Erik Bernstein 20French Fries
Parker feierbachDeep-frying anything is always messy, annoying, and time-consuming. (Anyone else hate cooking in batches?!), especially french fries. They also never turn out quite as crispy or good as McDonald's. But we recently discovered a genius hack that changes EVERYTHING. It yields astonishingly crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside fries that just might be better than the ones you get at the drive-thru.
