Springtime means asparagus, and who wouldn't want to cover the delicious, crisp veggie with a heaping load of melty cheese? Serve this up with grilled chicken or fish, or even alongside a light vegetarian main course.
I have made this dish a few times and, while it may look like a bit of a hot mess, I have found this the best way to cook it up. I love the crispy cheesy bits. I love that part of the asparagus is left naked. And I love that you can take as much or as...
Infusing your beer is a great way to add extra flavors and spice up your usual brew. The best part? You only need a few ingredients and a french press to make it happen. Looking for inspiration? Serious Eats has a list of spot-on infusions, like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with Grapefruit and Ginger, Lindeman's Framboise with Cocoa Nibs, and more. Check 'em out below.
Lindeman's Framboise is a bit tart, as a good lambic should be, but it's also a good bit too sweet. If you add...

Rhode Island's Custom House Coffee was eager to have unique desserts on their menu, and when a beer salesman suggested bacon as an ingredient, owner Reggie Doumaney became inspired to create this masterpiece: the Bacon Beer Float. It's the ultimate in manly decadence.

There's nothing better than cracking open a cold one on a hot summer day, but it begs the question: what's the best summer beer? With a light body, reasonable alcohol content, and champagne-like effervescence, the saison may be it.
While craft-beer experimentation doesn’t always translate into broad appeal, the saison varieties are all crowd-pleasers: some are hoppy; others are malt-focused; some are made with peppercorn and spices: and still others with fruit or...
So you put the ice cream in the pantry instead of the freezer during a late night sweet tooth attack. No need to fear, it happens to the best of us, and now there is something to do with that melty mess (and it may be even better than Creme Anglaise).
