Timing is key when it comes to guacamole. It always seems like avocados are too firm and need to be ripened, and then in an instant, they're overly mushy. If you're craving guacamole but don't want to depend on avocados, consider a condiment called guacachile. Despite the name, guacachile actually does not contain any avocado. This vibrant green salsa is a simple mix of blended jalapeño peppers, onions, vegetable oil, and salt. Sometimes referred to as "fake guacamole", it's a great option if you're low on avocados, or want to use more affordable ingredients.

It's not just conjecture — scientifically, bacon goes great with everything. That's because its salty flavor brings out the best in whatever it's paired with, be that a sweet, maple-infused treat or a hearty, protein-packed meal. One of the easiest ways to cook up a slab of bacon is to bake it in the oven until it reaches your desired level of doneness, but this method isn't perfect.

Frying chicken involves a lot of prep work and it's sometimes difficult to get the results you want. In particular, it's all too easy for it to come out dense and chewy instead of light and crispy. To fix that, there's a less common ingredient you can add to the batter: A splash of vodka.

Statistics tell us that when beef features on the menu in an American home, there's a 60% chance it's ground beef. That's probably because minced cow meat is so much cheaper than whole cuts and many cooks love its versatility which allows for use in a wide range of recipes. So if you've stockpiled this beloved meat, you'll want to know how long you can keep it in the refrigerator before you're ready to prepare your burgers, meatballs, or savory pies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends no more than two days.

If you've got a keg of beer, it's safe to say you're serving a crowd. It's a wise investment for parties, as a keg can actually get you more beer per buck than bottles or cans. But even if you're hosting a large group, you're probably going to have some beer left over. Most kegs can hold between 40 and 124 pints of beer, which is certainly a lot to go through. A tapped keg won't match the shelf lives of bottled and canned beers, but on the other hand, it won't go flat as quickly as bottles and cans do once you open them. In fact, a single keg can last for months.

Biting into a crisp one whole is plenty satisfying, but apples are also a seriously drinkable fruit. Apple juice by itself tastes great, plus it's a great mixer, especially with tequila. Meanwhile, apple cider is classic as a hot beverage when temperatures drop, but it can also be enjoyed on ice. It's also an ideal mixer (for beer) and a convenient ingredient for making an autumnal cider pancake syrup to go with a stack of flapjacks.

It's hard to beat the deliciousness of a perfectly made crusty loaf fresh out of the oven — soft and fluffy on the inside with a crunchy, thin crust on the outside. Homemade crusty bread is a tasty starter or accompaniment to a meal and also provides a crispy texture to the perfect bruschetta or roast beef sandwich. While the crust adds satisfying crunchiness to the bread, it shouldn't be so hard that it cracks a tooth. But how can one achieve such an exquisite loaf at home? The key, according to a Master Baker, is to create a steam bath in your oven.

Have you ever wondered why a sandwich tastes so much better at your local deli than when you make it at home? Possibly it's because they're using a different kind of mayo. Many restaurants use a type of mayo called "heavy duty" or "extra heavy," and the key difference between their mayo and the kind you find in the grocery store is all about the eggs. This version of the condiment uses more egg yolks, resulting in a richer umami flavor and making everything from sandwiches to salads taste that much better.

An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe.

Most people know that bacon tastes good with everything, but few ever question where it gets its bright, rosy color.

Baked potatoes are a classic side, but they could do with a little shake-up every now and then to keep things interesting. Obviously, you can do it in the oven, but you can also bake potatoes in the air fryer or even make a microwaved baked potato. All are great options, but perhaps the most inventive way to cook your potatoes is in your grill. Not on your grill, but actually in it, nestled amongst the charcoal briquettes. It might sound strange, but burying potatoes in hot ash is a great way to cook them to fluffy perfection, and it will add a deep, smoky flavor that you can't get any other way.
