S’moresgåsbord

Summer doesn’t officially start until you’ve made your first s’more. So grab your sticks and get to it.

Up the ante with a buffet of chocolatey, peanut buttery, and ooey-gooey options and you’ll likely find yourself wondering, “why didn’t I think of this sooner?!” The classic Hershey’s bar-graham-cracker-marshmallow combo will never grow old, but wait until you see peoples’ faces light up when you give them an array of options. There’s something about seeing Kit Kats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Rolos, and Hershey’s specialty bars all laid out that makes everyone feel like a kid again. And really, isn’t that what summer’s all about?

Host with the Most

Gather your favorite folks and host them, hassle-free, with these simple ideas! Picnics, parties, and happy hours are no sweat when you platter crackers and cheese with a spirited spin or keep it cool with chilled salads.

Such Great Heights

Beauty is in the eye of the arranger, and here even inexpensive filler flowers feel luxe.

Level up your table by focusing on three to four kinds of flowers and using small vases or jars (capers, diced pimientos, and baby food jars work especially well!) to vary their heights. The secret to achieving a look you love is to focus on one large flower in your favorite color. From there, bring in smaller buds of contrasting colors to make the whole arrangement sing.

Nothing hits like a cold one. We’re talking summer sides, of course. Whether you’re pairing with something hot off the grill, or packing for a picnic, these colorful stunners deliver chilled freshness by the forkful.

Fluffiest Pancakes Ever

Use the last few swigs of your old Sanpellegrino to take packaged pancake mix to great new heights. Literally! When you swap out flat water (like it calls for on the box) for Sanpellegrino, it introduces bubbles that expand as they’re heated, leaving you with the lightest, fluffiest pancakes you’ve ever had outside a diner. Pair your pile of pancakes with a tall glass of Sanpellegrino from a new bottle and this whole process will repeat itself.
