An easy kitchen-hack and some cheesy deliciousness lets you bring this pub favorite snack to the party!
Don’t worry if you don’t usually consume beer, you can simply substitute with chicken broth. If you still want the tangy flavor profile that beer brings without the alcohol you can add 1 tablespoon of our Beer Extract Powder to the chicken broth for a great alternative!
And if you don’t have a cast iron pan, an oven proof baking dish works just as perfectly! |

In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups water and baking soda to a boil and whisk to dissolve. Immediately reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Add biscuits in batches and cook until puffy, 1 minute, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a 10″ or 12″ ovenproof skillet, forming a ring along the inside edge.
Brush biscuits with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Transfer dip to center of skillet and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheddar.

| With tomato season & beach-body season kicking off we thought you might enjoy this tasty and healthy snack alternative. These little crisps also serve up nicely as a side garnish for salads and soups or even layer into your favorite sandwich for flavorful crunch. |
|
Preheat oven to 275º and grease a cooling rack with cooking spray, then place on top of a large baking sheet.
On a large, paper towel-lined plate, arrange tomatoes and cover with another paper towel, then press out juices. Place tomatoes on cooling rack and lightly drizzle with olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Bake, checking every 30 minutes, until tomatoes are completely dried out and beginning to crisp up, about 3 hours.
Remove from oven and heat broiler. Sprinkle tomatoes with Parmesan, then broil on low until cheese is melty, 1 to 2 minutes.
Let cool, then remove from cooling rack. Garnish with additional salt, pepper and Italian seasoning, if desired, and serve. |
