Backyard Summer Movie Night Treats for Weekend Fun
Summer weekends are made for slowing down and savoring small, meaningful moments. After a busy week, Friday or Saturday nights are a chance to gather in the backyard, string up a few lights, and turn the ordinary into something special. Creating that kind of atmosphere doesn’t require a big production, it just takes a little preparation and the right kitchen tools. With fun, family-friendly appliances like the Toastmaster Stir Popcorn Maker and Mickey Mouse Kettle Popcorn Popper, you can bring classic movie snacks to life with a fresh summer twist. The next step? Filling your backyard theater with irresistible popcorn creations everyone will love.
Celebrate National Sandwich Month with Your Favorite Sandwich Makers
National Sandwich Month runs all through August, and if there is one kitchen appliance that deserves a seat at the celebration table, it is the sandwich maker. Your countertop might be stacked with a classic Toastmaster press or a shelf of licensed favorites featuring Harry Potter, Mickey Mouse, and Disney Lilo & Stitch, and this is the month to put every one of them to work.
Sandwich makers have become one of the most beloved small kitchen appliances for a reason. They turn ordinary bread and fillings into something with a bit of personality, and they do it fast. Some are built for hot, melty, oozing-cheese comfort food. Others are perfect for sealing up a cold lunch favorite that a kid (or a kid at heart) can toss in a lunchbox and enjoy on the go. All month long, we are highlighting both sides of the sandwich world, one recipe for each appliance in the Select Brands and licensed collection, each one designed to match the character behind the machine.
Grab your bread, your favorite fillings, and let's get toasting.
