Topic 1:
It's Grill Time

Grilling and good weather go hand-in-hand. Send us recipes that shout spring and summer flavors and can be tossed "on the coals" for a fuss-free evening meal. Classics are always welcome such as burgers, steaks and saucy ribs, but we'll bet you have some great ideas for fast and fun vegetable sides, sizzling seafood, grilled flatbread pizzas, fruity desserts and more. Have a go-to marinade or smoky rub that always makes the top 10 on your grill-time hit parade? Send those recipes in, too!

Topic 2:
Three Cheers for Chicken

Whether baked, roasted, grilled or fried, chicken is one of the most popular dishes on kitchen tables today. Show us your very best tossed into leafy green and herb-rich salads, mixed into cold pasta dishes with just the right dressing, or simply brightened up with a combo of lemon juice, earthy garlic and a quick turn in the oven; the sky's the limit with this versatile bird.

Topic 3:
Light Slow Cooker

Have a dreamy and light meat sauce recipe you can easily start in the slow cooker in the morning and come home to after a crazy-busy day? We'd love you to share your easy-to-pull-together lightened up slow cooker mains, sides and desserts. Feel free to tell us how you get a leg up on hectic weeknight dinners with family-friendly light slow cooker dishes that help you stay connected with your gang every night of the week.

Field Editor in Focus

Meet Michele Tungett!

"I've been enjoying Taste of Home since I graduated from college and my dad bought me my very first subscription. Through bookstores, yard sales and online, I've actually been able to find almost every copy of Taste of Home magazine ever printed! I really enjoy talking about the magazine to others and sharing recipes with my Facebook friends.

Food is a big deal in my house and I think it's important for my kids to know that cooking is enjoyable and not a chore—they see how much my husband and I love to cook and often ask to help make dinner or bake cookies. As a matter of fact, I'm a big fan of baking from scratch and best known for my prize-winning chocolate chip cookies. They never stick around for long at potlucks and bake sales.

My best advice to those new at cooking is to grab an issue of Taste of Home and just start cooking. This is really how I learned to cook. I think so many people don't cook because they're afraid of failing or making a bad dish. But, that's all a part of the learning process and, as they say, practice makes perfect."
