Hawaiian-Inspired Burger

It starts with chuck burgers coated in teriyaki sauce. Then those saucy burgers are stacked with caramelized grilled pineapple, salty-spiced Spam, and mild cheese and, finally, sandwiched between toasted-yet-soft brioche buns. It’s the perfect recipe for a pool party because it can be ready quickly so you can get back to sunbathing (with a hat and sunscreen, of course).

Spicy Grilled Chicken Kabobs on Mango Slaw

Quick weeknight meals deserve a symphony of flavour, too. Marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon, and spices, these succulent chicken skewers make dinner really sizzle–especially when paired with a zesty mango slaw. Hot tip: A bag of pre-shredded coleslaw saves you some of the prep work.

Hawaiian-Inspired Ribeye Steak

This summer steak is tenderized by a tropical marinade–pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic and ginger–but the secret to making the meat truly shine is to marinate for at least four hours (but no longer than 24). And this is true of any steak: Always, always, let it rest before slicing into it.

Basque Citrus Cheesecake & Granadilla Citrus Sauce​

Light, airy, and creamy, the crustless Basque cheesecake is completely different than its more common crusted counterpart. Topped with a sweet-tart citrus granadilla (part of the passionfruit family) sauce, it’s rich (but not too rich), sweet (but not too sweet) and elegant to serve (but not hard to make). Win-win-win!

Banana Coconut Cake with Seven-Minute Frosting​

Pineapple Coconut Crush with Black Pepper

Do you like piña coladas? You’ll LOVE this coconut-pineapple slushie, which tastes just as good with or without the alcohol. The black pepper garnish adds a touch of spice, and a maraschino cherry is just the way they do it in the tropics. Want to make it even more on-theme? Serve it in a hollowed-out coconut or pineapple for added whimsy.
