Cans Keep Your Beer Fresh
Beer expert Sean Ballesteros’ best advice? Don’t fear canned beer! It’s the best way from your brew to stay fresh this summer. Let’s be real…we are spending more time outside these days. Hot, muggy weather practically begs for an ice cold craft ale to quench your thirst!
Debi’s Mexican Casserole
Debi Bussell could eat Mexican food every day, but she knew that may not be a great choice for her waistline. She threw this recipe together from ingredients she had in her kitchen and it was a hit! Small adjustments such as trading sour cream for Greek yogurt and using extra-lean ground beef were made.
Rosie’s Black-eyed Pea Tamales for the New Year!
Rose Benner was in charge of creating, testing and demonstrating recipes for all H-E-B’s. In a pinch late last night as I was searching for a recipe for Black-Eyed Pea Tamales, I texted Rosie to see if she had a recipe. This amazing woman sent me this recipe this morning…

These summer days are just packed, aren’t they? With endless amounts of errands and running around to do this summer, I find that the best ways to unwind are often the simplest. Case in point: how about an easy dish…one that requires very little preparation but packs a lot of flavor.
Keep cool with a nice brew this summer
As you know, I love a good glass of wine. But in the summer, sometimes an iced-cold beer is best. Matt Wheeler, the Sommelier at the H-E-B Bunker Hill, has some suggestions on finding a beer to beat the heat. Alamo Golden Ale is a smooth beer.

What a fun twist on traditional pizza! The best part about these pizzas is that you can toss on just about whatever you like to make them unique and all your own. H-E-B’s Cooking Connection Chef Elizabeth Hallier calls this pizza the ‘Hollywood Pizza’ because it’s so beautiful and light. It’s delicious too!
