Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Cardamom adds a special touch to this spice blend. Apple pie is the obvious choice, but any other baked apple dishes served with ice cream or vanilla yogurt are fair game too.

4 parts ground cinnamon
2 parts ground nutmeg
1 part ground cardamom
Combine all the spices and store in an airtight jar (if not using immediately). Will keep for up to a year.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
