It’s no secret that — ’round these parts — we’re into beer. We’ve shown you all the creative ways in which you can drink it, eat it, brew it, and even wear it. Next up on our list? How to bake with it. Winter can be no fun, but a warm slice of home-baked bread makes it bearable. And, of course, two slices makes it twice as nice. As the days get darker and colder, bread calls in for backup. And what better sidekick for a dark rye batter than a long pour of your favorite porter? Whatever you don’t need for the batter is yours for the sipping — warming you right up. Winter? Winter who?
1. Sweet Potato Maple Vegan Beer Bread: This sweet potato maple beer bread is perfectly balanced and perfectly moist. It’s also 100% vegan. Bread magic, right over here. (via Averie Cooks)
2. Honey Beer Bread: No yeasting or kneading needed. Just honey, butter, and a whole lot of beer. (via Oh Sweet Day)
3. Stout and Rye Bread: This rye bread is bolstered with a dark stout and leavened with baking powder — giving it a dense texture, similar to soda bread. Plus, it has flax seeds, so it’s basically a health food. (via The Bite House)
4. Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Chip Beer Bread: This cinnamon chip-studded beer bread serves as only further evidence that pumpkin ale season should last all year long. (via On Sugar Mountain)
5. Irish Apple Beer Bread: This little loaf is hoppy and just a touch sweet. Its secret weapons are the porter and the apple butter, both of which are stirred right into the batter. Slather this with warm butter or serve it up with corned beef and cabbage. (via A Spicy Perspective)
6. Jalapeño Pale Ale Cornbread: The spicy bites of jalapeño play nicely with the extra punch of hoppy goodness, brought to you by the pale ale in this cornbread recipe. Grab a bowl of chili, and then let a big hunk of this bread do the heavy lifting. (via The Beeroness)
7. Cherry Berry Beer Bread: With fresh cherries and blackberries, this easy, no-rise bread is a no-brainer. Perfect in the summertime, or whenever you’re feeling a little fruity. (via Mangoes and Palm Trees)
8. Fried Beer Bread Bites: Sliced bread and beer from a glass are so 2103. Deep fry these tasty little beer bread bites instead. (via African Bites)
9. Cheddar Wheat Beer Biscuits: These Oktoberfest biscuits use a cherry-wheat beer and a sharp Irish Kerrygold cheddar. We are completely on board. (via Domestic Fits)
10. Easy No-Rise Beer Bread: This simple loaf is light on fuss — but heavy on pay-off. You’ve got this! We’ll go grab some plates. (via Ezra Poundcake)
11. Lager Bread Batons: Tired of loafing around? Bake your bread into mighty little batons, à la this recipe with lager and honey. (via Yum Blog)
12. Beer Bread with Jalapeño + Garlic-Stuffed Olives: This recipe takes a smart approach — keep the batter simple, then spike it with something marvelous. The secret weapon? Double-stuffed jalapeño and garlic olives. Yeah, we’d eat that. (via Four Marrs and One Venus)
13. Rosemary Beer Biscuits with Stout Sausage Gravy: These rosemary buttermilk beer biscuits are great on their own, but top them in a stout-infused sausage gravy and — oh, I don’t know — a runny-yolked egg, and you’ll really have something special. Do want. (via The Beeroness)
14. Black Pepper + Parmesan Beer Bread: Just look at that crunchy, cheesy top. Don’t worry, we’ve already preheated your oven. (via Spoon Fork Bacon)
15. Amber Ale Hot Dog Buns: Go green — by conserving water and using beer in your next batch of homemade hot dog buns. (via Evil Shenanigans)
16. Beer Pretzel Bowls: Beer, pretzels, and cheese just go together. Maybe you could find something cheesy to put in these beer and pretzel bread bowls to complete the holy trinity. (via Baked By Rachel)
17. Pumpkin Beer Bread: This boozed-up take on the autumn-spice loaf uses a Dogfish Head Punkin Ale as its weapon of choice. Mixed up with roasted pumpkin, ground pecans, and all the cinnamon and nutmeg you could ever wish for, this beer bread is a sure thing. (via Kitchenette)
18. Irish Ale and Cheese Bread: With Smithwick’s, sour cream, a dash of cayenne, and over a pound of cheese, this recipe means business. We approve. (via Brown Eyed Baker)
19. Beer Tortillas: Beer tortillas are a thing. Let’s celebrate with… beer tortillas. And then more beer, probably. (via The Beeroness)
20. Honey and Beer Cornbread: What do you need on a cold winter’s morning? Why, honey and beer cornbread, of course! Oh, and pass the honey butter, would you? (via Confessions of a Bright-Eyed Baker)

"House Of The Dragon" Is Sydney Sweeney's Latest Binge Watch
Chloe Williams
Mar 08, 2024
If you're looking for drama, *super* intense family dynamics, and the beautiful landscape of an epic fantasy, then House of the Dragon is definitely a new TV show you need to watch. Season 1 of this Game of Thrones prequel (finally) gave us a dragon battle, and the entire House getting ready for war. House of the Dragon season 2 promises to be just as wild, if not more. And we're not the only one who's excited. During our exclusive Sydney Sweeney interview, the actress revealed she just binge watched the first season, and can't wait for the new installment! Here's everything you need to know about the new season — including the House Of The Dragon season 2 release date!
When is theHouse of the Dragon Season 2 release date?

House of the Dragon season 2 is premiering on HBO and Max in June 2024. Via Variety, WB's J.B. Perrette (head of global streaming & games for Warner Bros. Discovery) confirmed the sophom*ore season would drop this summer during a conference at the beginning of March.
Who's in theHouse of the Dragon Season 2 cast?
Image via Theo Whitman/HBO
House of the Dragon season 2 will see the return of all your favorite actors, including Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Eve Best, Steve Toussaint, Fabien Frankel, Ewan Mitchell, Sonoya Mizuno, Harry Collett, Rhys Ifans, Bethany Antonia, Tom Glynn-Carney, Phoebe Campbell, Phia Saban, Jefferson Hall, and Matthew Needham.
We'll also see Abubakar Salim, Gayle Rankin, Freddie Fox, Simon Russell Beale, Clinton Liberty, Jamie Kenna, Kieran Bew, Tom Bennett, Tom Taylor, and Vincent Regan in new roles this season.
What happens in Season 2 of House of the Dragon?
Image via Theo Whitman/HBO
House of the Dragon season 2 will pick up where season 1 left off (which is still about 200 years before the events in the Game of Thrones series we all know and love). We don't have an official plot synopsis for the new season quite yet, but we do know it'll feature the Taragaryens navigating power dynamics, politics, and, of course, dragons.
One plot line that fans are expecting, however, is the inclusion of Blood and Cheese. In the book series, these characters are assassins who sneak into the palace with the intention of murdering a member of the royal family to avenge the death of Lucerys Velaryon.
How many seasons of House of the Dragon are there?
Image via Theo Whitman/HBO
There are two seasons of House of the Dragon right now. But based on the fact that Game of Thrones was incredibly popular throughout its eight-season run, I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting at least five or six seasons of this prequel!
There are currently five books in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, but author George R.R. Martin plans on finishing the series with seven in total.
Is House of the Dragon season 2 coming out?
Image via Theo Whitman/HBO
Yes, we're getting a House of the Dragon season 2. HBO announced the fantasy series would be getting a second season on August 26, 2022, which was only five days after its premiere!

We all need something to hold us over while we wait on Nine Perfect Strangers season 2, Big Little Lies season 3, and The White Lotus season 3 (after you've finished watching and rewatching Expats, of course). And good news! Apples Never Fall will totally satisfy your new TV show craving — and not just because it's based on a book by Big Little Lies author Liane Moriarty. The series is thrilling, complex, and has enough twists to keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you're feeling on-theme, grab an apple cider co*cktail and get cozy. Here's everything we know about Apples Never Fall.
What is the story of the Apples Never Fall?
Image via Peaco*ck
Apples Never Fall (based on the book of the same name by Liane Moriarty) follows the Delaney family: retired tennis coaches Stan and Joy, and their now-adult kids Amy, Troy, Logan, and Brooke. Their time together gets upended when a wounded woman named Savannah shows up at their front door asking for help — and then disappears around the same time Joy goes missing. Now it's up to the kids to figure out where their mom went, and discover whether their parents' marriage was as perfect as it looked. That is, if they don't kill *each other* first. Watch the Apples Never Fall trailer here.
When is the Apples Never Fall release date?
Image via Jasin Boland/Peaco*ck
Apples Never Fall drops on Peaco*ck March 14, and you'll be able to watch all 7 episodes! Great for those of us who love to binge watch ;). Wondering what else is coming out this March? Check out our Spring Movie preview!
Who's in the Apples Never Fall cast?
Image via Vince Valitutti/Peaco*ck
Apples Never Fall on Peaco*ck stars Annette Bening, Alison Brie, Jake Lacy, Conor Merrigan-Turner, Sam Neill, and Essie Randles as the Delaney family, while Georgia Flood stars as Savannah.
Where was Apples Never Fall filmed?
Image via Jasin Boland/Peaco*ck
Apples Never Fall started filming in Queensland, Australia starting March 2023. Australia has some seriously beautiful landscapes, and it makes the scope of the show that much more impactful. Not only is it just incredible to see onscreen, but it perfectly contrasts the intensity and ominous feel of the plot — and I'm totally here for it.
What is the ending of Apples Never Fall?
Image via Vince Valitutti/Peaco*ck
Spoiler warning! While the season finale isn't out yet, the ending of the Apples Never Fall book is a fairly positive one. After spending the majority of the story MIA, Joy actually reappears at the end of the novel. She explains that before she left, she wrote a note telling the family she'd be away with Savannah. So when both Savannah and Joy disappeared — and the note got lost — everyone assumed the worst. I guess all's well that ends well?

Chloe Williams
Mar 08, 2024
If we learned anything from the Great Ticketmaster Fiasco of 2022 (complete with Senators quoting lyrics to each other during the ticket platform's legal hearing?), is that it's way too hard to get concert tickets these days. For popular artists like Taylor Swift, ticket-selling platforms have so many hoops to jump through and qualifications to meet that it's easy to miss a concert, even if you're a mega-fan.
But thanks to these resell sites, Taylor Swift fans around the country (affectionally called "Swifties") are connecting with one another and making sure that tickets are sold for face value instead of an upcharge — even if it's the day of the show. While you brush up on the latest Taylor Swift theories, and read the Emily Henry book that matches the vibe of your favorite Taylor Swift album, check out these social media accounts that can help you score your own tickets to the Eras Tourin 2024.
