Remembering Robin Williams on what would have been his 73rd birthday. ❤️ Watch as the comedian learns how to eat a whole fish in this throwback footage from The Martha Stewart Show.
‘Tis the season to fire up the grill! There’s a whole world of sauces and condiments that are perfect for adding to chargrilled franks—but Martha has her own thoughts on what makes a perfect hot dog. What are your preferred toppings? Let us know in the comments below and head to the link in our bio to see 15 delicious ways to upgrade your hot dog.
Thick slices of colorful heirloom tomatoes always shine during the summer. Here, we’ve arranged them on a platter and garnished them with dollops of unsweetened whipped cream, flaky sea salt, fresh basil, and good-quality extra-virgin olive oil. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷 @chelseammc
No celebration is complete without a sweet treat, but when it’s hot outside even the keenest baker would prefer not to turn on the oven. Our recommendation: Keep the kitchen cool by making a no-bake dessert. Our key-lime cheesecake is an easy mousse-like treat that blends the tartness of key lime pie with the richness of cheesecake. The traditional whipped-cream topping is folded right into the rich filling, along with fresh citrus juice and zest, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk. Simply chill overnight and dessert is ready. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.
The next time you’re asked to bring dessert to a summer potluck or party, look no further than @sarahcarey1’s crowd-friendly chocolate chip skillet cookie. No chilling or scooping of the dough is required, a single bowl and a wooden spoon are all it takes to mix up. Consider this a template for creativity: Our recipe has chocolate chips, but feel free to add 1/2 cup or so of chopped toasted pecans or walnuts, a handful of toffee chips, or even oats or dried fruit. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.
A summer celebration isn’t complete without a showstopping dessert. This crowd-pleasing fudgy ice cream cake is layered with crunchy graham crackers, rich chocolate, and smooth ice cream. Like all ice cream cakes, it needs to be made ahead, so you can stash it in the freezer and know that dessert is taken care of. Get this recipe (and more easy summer recipes that will feel a crowd) at the link in our bio.
These cakey cookies use cinnamon, ginger, molasses, lemon zest, and juice for a punchy taste that’s not your ordinary ice cream sandwich. You can choose your own flavor of ice cream, but vanilla and fruit flavors are a sure bet. Get the recipe for our lemon-spice ice cream sandwiches at the link in bio. 📷: @bryangardnerphotography
Less is more in this quick and easy weeknight dinner. Our favorite lemon broccoli pasta recipe calls for just five main ingredients (penne, broccoli, garlic, lemon, and Parmesan) and comes together in less than 25 minutes. Sometimes quick recipes get dinner on the table fast, but leave the sink full of pots and pans—with this one, there’s minimal cleanup because everything cooks in one pan. Get the recipe at the link in our bio.

From elegant backyard dinners at her Bedford residence to casual family pool parties at her Skylands estate in Maine, our founder knows how to throw a warm-weather gathering.
