Bringing Together Triplet Boys with Burger Night

Despite the chaos, the one thing I love is when we can all come together for a meal! It doesn’t have to be fancy and with three boys, burgers are almost always a great ‘no fail’ dinner option. An original drive-in burger recipe in Cooks Illustrated has become a staple in our house for burger nights.

Feelin’ Bubbly Aperol Raspberry Float

This combines so many delicious things: Aperol, ice cream, hard seltzer, and even fresh fruit (look, it’s healthy!). Great as a dessert cocktail—but honestly, don’t be held back by time of day.

Watermelon Sugar Slushy

This watermelon slushy is dangerously refreshing—perfect for a hot day at the beach. Or for pretending that it’s a hot day at the beach. In Malibu. With Harry Styles. Okay, too hot! Freeze the watermelon overnight; it is best served as cold as possible.

Black Bean and Roasted Corn Salad

Corn and black bean salsa was a college favorite, and I found the adult version of that recipe. For a faster prep time, I may use frozen corn instead of corn on the cob and canned beans instead of cooking my own. Eat on a bed of greens with thick corn tortilla chips and some diced avocado perhaps. I’m bookmarking this recipe for when we have fresh corn on the cob in the box!! Adapted from Food52.
