This spring was full of sweet desserts, fresh ingredients, and seasonal classics, and you enjoyed every last bite. Once winter had flown the coop, you were outside with bells on and fork in hand. Now, summer may be here, but today your spring favorites are in the spotlight. This roundup of your most-clicked items in our past newsletters built out quite the spring cookout! 

A Sipping Staple

You know a cookout needs refreshments, so you scouted this Southern favorite: Sweet Tea. This drink reigns supreme any time of year, but it truly shines as the days get a little longer and a lot warmer. 

Sweet on Spring

There was no denying your sweet tooth! Our Fresh Strawberry and Cream Dessert was neck-in-neck with the Easy Lemon Icebox Pie. But we have to ask: why not both? This dessert combo takes the classic strawberry lemonade to a whole new level.

A Classic Casserole

You spoiled Mom on Mother’s Day, but you were especially keen on our Grits Casserole. This classic dish receives a delicious glow-up whipped with crème fraîche and smoked Gouda cheese for a creamy, smoky finish.

Scintillating Cinco

During Cinco de Mayo, you were living for this Enchilada-Style Smoked Pork. Who could blame you? This dish is not only a cinch to pull together, it is a delicious hit to bring to any potluck or cookout. Pick up pulled pork and barbecue sauce from your favorite local BBQ joint to make this recipe your own.

Summer Ready

You were getting into the summer spirit and our Creamy Shrimp Pasta Salad was calling your name. From its succulent shrimp to that little flirt with lemon and dill, you were in love with this simple refreshing salad from our Summer Salads feature.
