PHOTO: JULIA GARTLAND; FOOD STYLING: BARRETT WASHBURNEHere we use a simple hack of baking bread in a bundt pan to turn a classic sandwich into a party centerpiece that will steal the show at any picnic, game day, or tailgate. Between the bundt pan loaf you'll find all the usual Italian sub suspects: pepperoni, salami, ham, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, and a simple Italian seasoning-based dressing. It's the best way to ensure that you never run out of your favorite sandwich and keep the good times going.

7Shortcut BBQ Ribs
Parker feierbachNo one has the time to cook ribs on the grill for hours. That's why this crazy shortcut to barbecue ribs is the greatest: It may seem a little odd, but boiling ribs first helps tenderize the meat before grilling. Trust us, this lets you skip the low and slow cook time in the oven or smoker, and they still turn out extra delicious.
