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

Mashed potatoes with ham and two kinds of cheese, fried into craveable crispy Italian croquettes make a mouthwatering appetizer.
3 medium potatoes
salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, diced
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped cooked ham
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
1 dash black pepper
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
salad oil
In medium pan cook potatoes in water to cover with 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to boil. Cover and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Mash or rice; do not add milk.
In large bowl mix potatoes, 1 egg and next 6 ingredients and stir until well mixed. Roll mixture into 16 2-inch logs with moistened hands. Beat remaining egg; dip each into egg, then roll in crumbs until well coated. Refrigerate about 1 hour.
Heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees F; fry croquettes a few at a time until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
