Cheddar, Gruyère, and Brie help push this over the top. Use local, artisan-style cheeses, if you can.

Raspberries are packed with polyphenols, which may protect our brains, helping to keep us sharp.

Use plums that hold their shape when cooked, such as black or red (avoid soft-fleshed Santa Rosas). If you prefer a taller pie, use all 5 pounds of fruit.

Fruit, cheese, and nuts are a winning combination. This bright vinaigrette is also excellent on a salad with apricots, goat cheese, and pistachios.

This simple sandwich's flavor is amped-up with a hit of fresh oregano.

Like the classic combination of melon and prosciutto? Then you'll love this main-course pasta salad.

One look at these meatball subs and you might be inclined to bypass an entire summer's worth of burgers and dogs. Heroes, hoagies, subs, grinders—regardless of what you call them, we guarantee this recipe will be an instant crowd favorite thanks to toasted garlic-butter buns piled high with tender meatballs and tangy tomato sauce. Although you may be tempted to head for the grill, opt for your oven broiler instead and avoid the need for skewers or special grill baskets.
