Summer has kicked into full effect, and we are cruising, icy margarita in one hand, grilled shrimp skewer in the other. From barbecues to pool parties, we've got alfresco entertaining on the brain. Also on the mind? The season's most treasured ingredients: tomatoes, watermelon, peaches, cherries, zucchini — the list goes on! Besides these July gems, there are several other items we're currently obsessed with. Here they are: the things you've gotta have to make the most of the next 31 days.
