Herbs: A Summer Grilling Game Changer Date: May 26 2014 | Author: Laura | Category: Hungry So, you’re ready to grill. Time to gather supplies! Cold beer? We think that grilling should be about more than just burgers and pork. Here are three ways herbs can make your BBQ even better: 1. When met by a flame, a handful of sage and/or rosemary creates a fragrant smoke with a trifecta of perks: 1) adding subtle flavor to your food 2) smelling heavenly 3) acting as a natural bug repellent For best results, soak your herbs in water for a few minutes first and then lay them directly onto the coals while they’re still damp. 2. Want a flavorful alternative to the standard wood and metal skewers? 3. Marinades are all well and good, but did you know you can also infuse your meat with herbal flavor?

The Secret's In The Sugar: Lower-Alcohol Wines Are Taking Off hide captionA selection of low-alcohol wines, including a Riesling from Germany, a Vinho Verde from Portugal and a Txakoli from the Basque region of Spain. Meredith Rizzo/NPR A selection of low-alcohol wines, including a Riesling from Germany, a Vinho Verde from Portugal and a Txakoli from the Basque region of Spain. Big, bold wines have their fans. But with the arrival of summer, make room for a bumper crop of lighter, more subtle wines. "Low-alcohol wines are super hot right now," says wine writer Katherine Cole. There's Txakoli, or Txakolina, wines from the Basque region of Spain, Rieslings from Germany and New York state, and Vinho Verde from Portugal, to name a few. These wines typically hover in the 9 percent to 11 percent alcohol range. "We're seeing [from our stores] more requests for more balanced, light-bodied, lower-alcohol wines," Devon Broglie, sommelier and global wine buyer for Whole Foods, tells us. So, what explains the trend? And why the lower price points?

Automatic Pour-Overs: Do They Make a Better Cup of Coffee? Chicken Quesadillas Chicken Quesadillas are absolutely a go-to recipe in our household, but while I’ve made them on my show (and have posted different variations of quesadillas here through the years), I just realized yesterday that I’ve never posted the recipe! I’m organized and on top of things like that. Here it is! Such a simple recipe, but always delicious results. And always very, very family friendly. Start with three boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Sprinkle them generously with whatever you’d like: taco seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or just a mix of chili powder, cumin, seasoned salt, etc. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat… And cook them on both sides until they’re nice and brown on the surface and totally cooked in the middle. Then remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Next, slice a big, honkin’ onion into thick slices… Then grab a big bell pepper (this one’s from my garden!) And cut it into slices. And cook them until they’re nice and brown. Some of the veggies…
Epic Crispy Quinoa Burgers Topped with Sweet Potato Fries, Beer Caramelized Onions + Gruyere Where do I even begin? These burgers have so much going on. Hence the longest name I have ever posted and will hopefully ever post….hopefully! I am going to get so much flack for that title, but I don’t even care. Oh and if you can believe it, I actually left something out. Alright, let’s just start with the main idea for these quinoa burgers. I wanted to create a quinoa burger that would actually rival the typical beef burger. I know you are thinking it’s just not possible, and trust me, I totally thought the same thing. So I started with that base, but swapped the regular quinoa with red quinoa, took out the buffalo sauce and added some seasonings and cheese. From here my idea of an epic burger just grew and grew. Oh and if you are wondering, the Epic Burger is actually a thing up here in my very snowy and cold mountain town. My brothers wait all year for that burger. It’s a Christmas Day only Burger. Oh and yes, they snowboard on both Thanksgiving and Christmas day. The fried egg.

Infographic: Aromatics And How To Use Them It’s that time of year again, when even people who don’t cook much will be throwing down in the kitchen for the holidays. Luckily, CookSmarts has your back. The home-cooking resource continually comes up with great infographics, and its latest one explaining the world of aromatics is no different. The infographic starts with an explanation of aromatics, then highlights each cuisine’s most fundamental combination of aromatic ingredients. Some really helpful ones for your globe-trotting culinary experimentation include: Chinese Middle Eastern Thai We really like that this infographic takes the time to separate ‘sofrito‘ and ‘soffritto.’ Latin and Latin American countries use ‘sofrito‘ to refer to a specific set of aromatic variations. Since there’s a lot of geographic area involved, there are a ton of variations. Meanwhile, Italian cuisine uses soffritto, which may look and sound similar, but is actually completely different. The entire infographic is a great reference to have.
101 Best Pizzas in America Pizza! If you grew up obsessed with it — postgame pizza, movie-night pizza, baby-sitting pizza, college dorm pizza, New York-, New Haven-, Neapolitan-, deep-dish-, St. Louis-, Detroit-style pizza, pizza! — and pursued that American passion for cheese, sauce, and bread with an adult fascination for seeking the best slice, the finest pie, the Platonic Neapolitan, then the idea of naming America's best is likely contentious. Who serves America’s best pizza? View List: 101 Best Pizzas in America (Slideshow) Pizza is about as varied and beloved a genre, as opinionated a subject, and also as accessible a food as there is. Which pizzerias truly serve pies to seek out, return for, and be in awe of? One of the problems with even the most well-intentioned best pizza lists is their length, or lack of length actually. It’s a challenging task. What did we discover? Of the 101 best pizzas, 30 were from New York State (that includes Long Island). But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, right?
