Sunday is the big moment the whole country has been waiting for. No, no, not the Super Bowl — afterward, when we finally find out if Jack really died in the fire that began at the end of the last episode. Of course, one party who’s likely invested in the outcome is Crock-Pot because an old version of the appliance with a faulty switch is what set the blaze off after the Super Bowl in the first place (and also set Twitter ablaze right after).

Okay, first: Vodka, whiskey, tequila, and other clear spirits have zero carbs. Wine has about two grams of carbs per glass, and Champagne has one gram. But before you toast your good luck at being able to drink, there are a few things you need to know.

Consider this refreshing drink a fizzy beer-laden alternative to a Bloody Mary, made with a pint of medium-spicy tomato salsa and beefed up in flavor with steak sauce. It’s the perfect accompaniment to Super Bowl chili or nachos — or hair of the dog for the headache you’re nursing the next day.

Okay, we’re not going to win any awards for thinking up this combination, but hey — these potato bites are easy, delicious, and perfect for a sports-loving crowd, should you find yourself surrounded by one this weekend.

In my opinion, the best store-bought veggie cream cheese comes from the deli (not the dairy case), where the veggies are freshly added and the bright flavors prove it. This homemade riff takes a strong stance on fresh herbs and vegetables too, while dirtying just a single food processor bowl. The resulting cream cheese is onion-forward with a carrot-rich sweetness and just a touch of fresh dill.

I have a love-hate relationship with following chef and food personalities — including Ina Garten — on Instagram. It’s so hard to look at all the delicious food they are making when I don’t have it in front of me, or have the necessary ingredients in my fridge or pantry to make what they’re cooking.

The last couple days I’ve noticed a lot of people online praising the fact that January is over. It is a long month. Many people participate in “dry January” where they don’t drink alcohol for 31 days. Other people are feeling the burn of their New Year’s resolutions. So, it’s time for a reward.

Here are all the new things coming to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and HBO this month.
