CHEDDAR BEER DIP with SOFT PRETZELS /
Bring on game-day with this warm and hearty dip made with beer and lots of cheddar
cheese. Add a few dashes of hot sauce or a squeeze of Sriracha and warm the soft
pretzels with a brush of butter and everything bagel seasoning!
•
1 cup Pale Ale
•
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
•
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
•
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
4 cups whole milk
Pour the beer into a 3-quart saucepot and bring to a boil. Simmer until reduced by half. In
a separate 3-quart saucepot, combine the butter and flour. Cook over medium-low heat,
stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Add the reduced Pale Ale and the milk and continue to
cook, whisking often, until the mixture is thickened, about 5 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the cheddar cheese until smooth and fully incorporated, then add the
lemon juice, salt and pepper. Serve the dip warm with soft pretzels for dipping.
VERY VEGGIE MINESTRONE with TORTELLINI /
There is so much veggie goodness in this hearty soup. Add the rind from a wedge of
Parmesan while it's simmering, to increase deliciousness! Top the soup with a dollop of
pesto and serve with an arugula salad and Tiramisu for dessert.
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small sweet yellow onion, diced

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepot. Add the onions and sauté, stirring often, until
the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining olive oil along with the garlic,
