SHANNON OSTERTAG IS NO FAN OF THE OPEN FLOOR PLAN. Bucking the current trend of a kitchen that flows into a great room, the designer and mother prefers a proper dining room. “Family dining is the No. 1 reason,” she says. “All of us gathered around the table without television and phones left somewhere else—those are our favorite times.” Shannon and her husband, Greg Ostertag, a retired NBA player, live in Mount Vernon, Texas, with their 5-year-old daughter, Charlestynn (aka Charlee or Chuck), and Shannon’s two kids, Trevor, 19, and Lily, 15. Greg’s son, Cody, 26, lives nearby, and his daughters, Bailey, 22, and Shelby, 19, are in college in Colorado. The family moved to town in 2015, following Greg’s dream of retiring in his home state. With their construction…

What inspired you to create Raddish? When I taught middle school, my students spent their lunch break in my classroom—often eating junk food while talking about their favorite cooking shows on TV. They were eager to learn to cook, but never had the chance. So I began teaching after-school cooking classes; within a year I left my teaching job to offer them at birthday parties, enrichment programs and summer camps. Raddish was born later as a way to expand the concept: bringing families together and nurturing kids’ confidence in the kitchen and beyond. What does a typical day look like to you? I wake up early for coffee and to take our dog on a long walk. Then I’m full-on mom: making lunches, helping my kids with their “morning math”…

ISLAND LIFE MEANS BOATS AND BEACHES ALL SUMMER LONG, and for the Davis family of Chincoteague Island, Virginia, it also means simple meals grilled to perfection on their skiff, Flat Bottomed Girl. “We’re on the boat every weekend in summer,” says Laura Davis, who grew up boating and hooked her family on the activity. Some days that means hitting the water at 5 a.m. to fish and staying afloat until dusk. “We get hungry on the boat—especially my three boys,” says Laura. “I pack an easy lunch, like sandwiches, and often grill seafood for dinner when the boat is anchored at Little Beach, where a lot of us spend the afternoon. “This is the ultimate in al fresco dining.” “Everyone brings food to share, but not everyone cooks on their…

Check for freshness. Look for firm, plump, shiny cherries bright in color with green stems attached. Keep cold and dry. Cherries can last seven to 10 days in the fridge, unwashed, until ready for use. Favor a flavor. Sour cherries (such as Montmorency and Morello) are usually red and perfect for baking. Sweet varieties (like Bing and Rainier) vary in color and make a delish on-the-go snack. Pop that pit! Place a cherry stem side up on top of an empty bottle. Remove the stem to reveal the dimple. Using a straw, push straight through dimple, knocking the pit out of the bottom. GET EVEN MORE! Take your pick of dozens more fresh cherry recipes. tasteofhome.com/cherrylove…

AMANDA SCARLATI Grand Prize Winner HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR THIS RECIPE? One of my husband’s favorite treats as a child was his mom’s rhubarb bars.
