Leave it to Chow to find a way to really make baked beans pop. Their recipe is complicated, but it boils down to this: Open a huge (36-ounce) can of baked beans and pour them into a saucepan, then add a can of soda. You can use any kind you want that’s not diet (it gets bitter when cooked), but I would use root beer or Dr. Pepper for their distinctive flavors. Simmer, stirring often, until the mixture has thickened — about 20 minutes. Seems like a small thing to do, but this will have them running back for more. Whether you reveal your trick is entirely up to you.

special occasions.
Warm, toasty garlic bread is a family favourite, so why not try this fun new way to serve it? Made on the grill, these colourful garlic bread skewers are a great way to use up day-old bread.

They also will be providing a dessert called peach fool at the
