Roasting a chicken on your charcoal grill is a delectable meal during any season, but now that spring and summer barbecue season is on the horizon, you can try something new this year on your Gerhards appliance. Beer can chicken is an innovative way of cooking an oven stuffer and it will trap the internal juices far better than simply placing it on the grill.

First, you should coat the outside of the chicken with a spiced rub of your choice. Do a bit of research to find the perfect combination of flavor and spice that will work with your guests' palette.

When the chicken is ready, find a can of beer that you love and drink half of it. Typically, the best beers with this recipe are those with spiced notes, such as summer ales and light lagers. Put the end of the can in the open area of the chicken and place it on the grill with it standing upward. After about an hour and a half or when the internal temperature of the kitchen gets between 165 and 180 degrees, it should be ready to carve.

The slow evaporation of the beer will make the meat far more juicy and impart a unique flavor that will make this one of your favorite seasonal recipes.

Whipping up spaghetti and meatballs is a quick and easy dish for many families during the week, but you may cut corners when it comes to your garlic bread. However, you can put a healthy and tasty twist on this dish that can help you cut costs and refine your family's palette for homemade foods.

Making homemade garlic bread couldn't be easier and you can find all the ingredients in your local supermarket. Pick up a loaf of ciabatta bread, six garlic cloves, and a mixture of herbs like oregano and parsley. After coating the top of the bread in extra virgin olive oil and a layer of unsalted butter, you can begin the rest of your preparations.

In a food processor, mince your garlic and heat it up in a sauce pan until it's soft. Then put this back into the mixer with herbs, salt and pepper. You can put this on your buttered bread and pop it right into oven at 350 degrees. You can speed along the process by placing the bread in aluminum foil, and it should be ready in just five minutes.

Making homemade meals is just one of the many things you can do with your new Gerhards appliances, which can dramatically improve your culinary capabilities.

Hosting an Easter brunch is a wonderful way to give your family a wide variety of dishes to enjoy during the holiday, but you may be looking for a time-saver. A sausage and mushroom strata could be the answer for your party – similar to a frittata with a bread bottom, this is a quick and easy breakfast casserole that you can pop in the oven and have it ready when your family arrives.

First, take a bunch of English muffins in the toaster, place them along the bottom of a baking pan, cover with a layer of Colby Jack cheese and cut them to ensure that there aren't any gaps. In a pan, brown sausage, mushroom and onions and put them to the side.

In a bowl, you can whisk together eight eggs, two cups of milk and salt and pepper. Pour the sausage and onion mixture over the top and then put a few pieces of chopped red pepper to give the dish some color. Finally, pour the egg mixture on top and put it in the fridge to chill overnight.

In the morning, you can pop the strata into your brand new Gerhards appliance preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. After about 40 minutes, you'll have a delectable breakfast casserole the whole family will love!

Working a 9-5 job will sometimes lead to questionable eating choices, and if you're heading out for lunch every day, the expenses can add up pretty quickly. By taking a few extra minutes in the evening to whip up a sandwich for the next day, you can improve the nutritional content of your food and put money back into your pocket.

A turkey avocado sandwich is a satisfying meal that you can whip up for lunch or dinner for your family in a pinch. First, you'll need a good loaf of whole wheat or Italian bread and then put together your ingredients. A ripe avocado, sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, onion, a few slices of bacon and your favorite condiments will bring it together easily.

You can cut your prep time by cooking up a batch of bacon earlier in the week and putting it in the fridge inside plastic wrap. If you're counting calories, turkey bacon is a great alternative that won't rob your sandwich of that smoky flavor.

If you're making these sandwiches for dinner, use a grill pan in tandem with your new Gerhards appliance to make delectable paninis your family will love.

March Madness is in full swing, so if your team is out of it or your bracket is still looking promising, you may throw a get-together to watch the games in the coming weeks. If you have a group of friends that consider themselves health food nuts, you may not want to break out fatty nachos or wings – this year, try black bean dip instead!

Black bean dip is a great compromise that can combine easily with game day snack foods but is far healthier. Start by placing a plum tomato, a tablespoon of cilantro, and two tablespoons of a red onion in a food processor. When this is chopped, you can add two cans of drained black beans, a tablespoon of cumin, a pinch of salt and as much hot sauce as you'd like.

According to the Food Network, you can gradually add spice and other ingredients until you reach the heat level you desire. While the dip works great with tortilla chips, you can put out some whole wheat pita crisps or flat bread to appease your health-conscious guests.

The process is made much easier with a modern cooktop or a similar Gerhards appliance that can improve the versatility of your kitchen and infuse it with modern style.

After you've hosted a family dinner or a potluck, you may not be able to use all of your lasagna noodles in a single casserole, but there's no reason to let them go to waste. To make the most of your purchase and whip up something your whole family will love, try lasagna rolls!

According to the food blog Sunday Dinner and Then Some, start by cooking up veggies in a pan, such as mushrooms, peppers and plum tomatoes and then combine your choice of pasta sauce to the pan. Season with herbs and spices until you achieve the flavor profile you desire. While this is simmering, mix up a package of frozen chopped spinach and ricotta in a bowl, and put your lasagna noodles in a pot of boiling water until al dente.

When your ingredients are ready, spread the spinach and cheese mixture over the flattened noodles and roll them up. Place them on a cooking sheet and cover with the sauce and sprinkle a bit of mozzarella on top. Bake for about 15-20 minutes on 350 degrees Fahrenheit and you'll have a spectacular meal with simple ingredients you may have already had lying around.

You can speed along the cook time by investing in a convection oven, so look into the many Gerhards appliances that can improve the versatility of your kitchen.
