Kara's Summer Salad
Kara's summer salad recipe is a refreshing and fulfilling pasta salad that has enough protein to be eaten alone as a small meal. The ingredients are more unique and sometimes healthier than those in many other macaroni salad dishes. I recently created this in my own kitchen.
Smoked Mac and Cheese Is Perfect for All Your Summertime Barbecue Needs
This smoked macaroni and cheese recipe is more of a how-to. While I use prepared mac and cheese for ease, by all means use homemade if you choose–it will only be that much better. This takes on smoke flavor quickly and compliments smoked ribs, chicken, and brisket. Stick it on the smoker in the last hour of smoke time on your meat. By the time the meat is rested, this is ready to go.
