Even if golf isn’t really your thing, you must know that, apart from the sport itself, the Masters is really all about one thing for those who attend — the Pimento Cheese sandwiches. Alright, that’s probably an exaggeration, given that the Masters is a pretty big deal when it comes to golf. But for those of us who, honestly, attend just about any event solely for the food, it all comes down to the snacks.

The famous Masters’ pimento cheese sandwiches started back in the late 40s when husband and wife Hodges and Ola Herndon whipped up a big batch and sold them to hungry golfers and fans at the famous tournament. At the time, a quarter was the going rate for this delicious snack, which has now, thanks to adoring fans, become a staple of Masters’ tradition.

Now sold for a mere $1.50 a piece, the pimento cheese sandwich legacy lives on, being sold at Augusta National’s concession stands throughout the tournament. They’re made fresh every day and come wrapped in grassy green plastic bags for easy eating on the go.

There isn’t a single ingredient we’ve found that doesn’t taste delicious after a dunk in this tip. Serve with chips, pretzels, vegetables, or toasted sourdough for an absolutely perfect snack.

And, of course, there’s always the option of spreading this delicious dip between two slices of white bread for your own take on the Masters’ classic. We’re not sure it’ll do much for your game, though.

Ingredients:

  • 2 bags of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 block of cream cheese (softened overnight if possible)
  • 1 quart Duke’s mayo
  • 3 cups dill pickle relish
  • 1 cup BBQ spice
  • 1 can of roasted red peppers
  • 1 tablespoon of chipotle powder

Method:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a standing mixer and mix thoroughly with the paddle attachment.
  2. Enjoy with celery, your favorite crackers, or ripple-cut chips as Wye Hill does!

A cocktail doesn't have to be a complicated thing. In fact, many of the best involve just a few ingredients. These, my friends, are the cocktails you should know how to make, as they're simple to pull off and taste superb.

Maximalist cocktails with as many ingredients as there are stars in the sky are great, but better left to the pros. We like to make the ones that don't require a whole lot of special equipment (outside of a good cocktail shaker) or that take too much of your precious time. These are cocktails that tend to let your favorite spirit shine, whether it's good rye whiskey or a favorite gin.

Looking for some new healthy recipes to support your low-cholesterol diet? In this article, we're going to cover a few tasty low-cholesterol recipes that can boost your health in numerous ways. We'll also address the reasons to follow a low-cholesterol diet in the first place!
What are the benefits of a low-cholesterol diet?
Reduces the risk of heart disease
Heart disease can occur when there is a buildup of plaque in your arteries. This plaque comes from LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol), so lowering these levels by following the low-cholesterol diet and eating well could help reduce your risk. Keep in mind that there is still good cholesterol, and that is HDL.

You may also experience a lessened risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular ailments.
Promotes weight loss
Because the low-cholesterol diet encourages you to eat healthy meals and cut out processed and high-fat foods, you will likely naturally consume fewer calories on a daily basis. This can lead to weight loss. Of course, factors like exercise, daily movement, age, weight, gender, and genetics, will also play a role in how your body could change.
