Mixed drinks are an easy, excellent way to unwind after a long day. For many people, their alcohol of choice is tequila, a spirit made in Mexico from the blue agave plant. It's important to note that there are different types of tequila, and some are better for mixing than others. Blanco tequila, also commonly called silver or white tequila, is a popular option for mixed drinks and cocktails. This type is often bottled immediately after it is distilled, but can sometimes be aged for up to two months. Its taste is citrusy, grassy, and a little peppery. Another common option for mixed drinks and cocktails is reposado tequila, which is aged up to a year and often has notes of vanilla and caramel. Finally, añejo tequila is aged up to three years. It also has notes of vanilla and caramel, but also oak, spices, and dried fruit. It's usually used for sipping and not in mixed drinks or cocktails.

When you're craving a flavorful, spicy, shareable, and filling dinner, it's hard to beat a Mexican restaurant. There is just something about sitting down with friends and family to share tacos, salsa, bean dip, and other favorites that makes it the perfect dining experience.

Do you like bloody marys? Check. Do you like pickles? Check. Do you like the idea of drinking bloody marys out of shot glasses made from pickles? That, again, should be a big fat 'check.' This playful take on the classic cocktail has been popping up across the internet, and for good reason. Not only is it a fun way to enjoy a drink that's typically sipped (ideally over a long brunch), but the salty, crunchy, and slightly sour nature of pickles makes them a perfect match for the bloody mary's signature spice and savoriness.

Boxed mac and cheese is convenient, delicious, and quick to make, but with just one simple upgrade, it can be just as yummy as if you made it from scratch. By adding egg whites you can instantly transform boxed mac and cheese from dry and boring to velvety and mouthwatering. Egg whites are often used to add structure to cakes, to make light and airy baked goods, and to thicken puddings and custards. They can also be whipped and used as a leavening agent for fluffy meringues and soufflés (like a mac and cheese soufflé, for instance). In fact, egg whites are even a key ingredient in frothy cocktails like whiskey and pisco sours.

Bananas are not complicated fruits, or so we think. Unlike apples, which come in loads of different colors and varieties from "red delicious" to "granny smith," we don't often see bananas the same way: They're just bananas. However, there are over 1,000 different kinds of bananas and they've changed a lot, evolving (though selective breeding) from round, green fruits filled with seeds to the bright yellow, phone-shaped fruits we know today. That was far in the past though; there's no way bananas have changed that much recently, have they?
