Updated: Aug. 05, 2021

1 / 7

Sunday: Mexican Street Corn Chowder

Corn is one of my all-time favorite vegetables, so when it’s in season, I always make this super easy soup in the slow cooker. —Rashanda Cobbins, Food Editor, Taste of Home
2 / 7

Monday: Baked Salsa Chicken

My husband and I prefer our food a little spicier than our children do, so I created this baked salsa chicken recipe just for the two of us. It’s now a regular menu item at our house. —Jan Cooper, Troy, Alabama
3 / 7

Tuesday: Sausage Potato Skillet

Growing up, I would eat this sausage and potato skillet recipe almost every day. I could never get enough of my favorite meal! —Amelia Bordas, Springfield, Virginia
4 / 7

Wednesday: Salmon Grilled in Foil

Steamed in its own juices, this grilled salmon in foil is incredibly tender. Curry adds a punch of flavor that’s perfectly balanced by onion and tomato. —Merideth Berkovich, The Dalles, Oregon
5 / 7

Thursday: Spaghetti with Bacon

As children, we always requested this dish for our birthday dinners. Our mother got the recipe from her grandmother. Now I pass on our tasty tradition. —Ruth Keogh, North St. Paul, Minnesota
6 / 7

Friday: Crunchy Burger Quesadillas

We love burgers—all kinds! We also love quesadillas and tacos, so I combined them to make an amazing, very filling quesadilla burger that my whole family loves. —Ann Marie Eberhart, Gig Harbor, Washington
7 / 7

Saturday: Tortellini Carbonara

I’ve made this bacon, cream and Parmesan cheese pasta sauce for so many years and have always called it a carbonara. Low-and-behold, I recently found out it’s actually more like an Alfredo sauce. In either case, it’s absolutely heavenly and a great option for company! —Cathy Croyle, Davidsville, Pennsylvania
